High West Double Rye

Apple Jack

2 Dashes Cointreau

2 Dashes Amaretto

Lemon juice

Sage Leaves

4 Dashes of Current Bitters

This drink is a little bit of a mystery. Mainly because Todd never gave me the exact measurements.  It looks tasty, I'm not sure how much of what.  But please experiment, and if you find a good ratio, let me know. 

This week we stretch our feminist muscle with Bitch Planet.  We read the first collection of this current series by Kelly Sue DeConnick and Valentine De Landro.  It is both a feminist parody of exploitation films, specifically women in prison movies, and a great commentary on society.

1.5 oz Vodka

0.5 oz Cointreau

Todd was connecting with his inner "Sex in the City" gal when he picked this drink.  According to Q, Todd it a Carrie.

On the next episode of the Funnybooks and Firewater podcast, we discuss the classic X-Men Arc, the Dark Phoenix Saga. Here is a preview of the panels drink choices to get you start your weekend.  On Monday you can rise from the ashes and join us for our discussion of the Dark Phoenix.

1 oz Lillet Blanc

1 oz Fresh Lemon Juice
