Episode Description

We got one! A real one! Our celebrants rejoice over the first genuine three game sweep of the season: Then they dive deeper into the great play of Bryce Eldridge.

On the cocktail side of things, today Ben is drinking a I Forgoto while Matthew is drinking a Bloody Cardinal. Recipes below.

I Forgoto
  • Two small scoops Vanilla Ice Cream
  • 1 shot Espresso
  • 3/4 oz Over proof rum
  • Add the ice cream to a coffee mug or small bowl. Pour the espresso over the ice cream followed by the rum. Eat with a spoon. Or chug it. Whatever.

Bloody Cardinal
  • 2 oz vodka
  • 4 oz Clamato
  • 3/4 oz fresh lemon juice
  • 2 1/2 tsp prepared horseradish
  • 2 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2–3 dashes Tabasco or another vinegar-forward hot sauce
  • 1/4 tsp celery salt
  • 1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • Small pinch smoked paprika
  • Optional: 1/4 tsp Dijon mustard
  • Optional: 1 tsp pickle brine for a little extra savory bite
  • Add everything to a shaker or mixing glass with ice. Instead of shaking, roll it back and forth between two glasses or shaker tins about 5 or 6 times to get it cold without beating too much air into the tomato juice. Pour over fresh ice in a tall glass. A celery-salt rim is great, or do half celery salt / half Tajín if you want a little more personality. Garnish with lemon slices or celery stalk. A tajin or celery-salted rim is also appropriate.
