About this episode
The episode discusses the second book in the Crimson Ridge series, 'Braving the Storm', and features a cocktail recipe inspired by the book.
Braving the Storm by Elliott Rose We’re back with the second book in the Crimson Ridge series by Elliott Rose—Braving the Storm. And let me be clear… this is not a “will they, won’t they.” This is very much “they absolutely will,” and you know it right out of the gate and oh boy is it complicated. Signature Cocktail: The Stormbreaker This drink like the book is all about things that shouldn't work together but somehow do - so naturally, I made a cocktail that sounds like a horrific idea on paper. Coconut whiskey? Um no, Lime and pineapple - more suspicious. But not unlike Braving the Storm - messy, emotional, and a little chaotic - against all odds this shit works! It's strong, sweet and a little unhinged which seems right on brand for us. Ingredients: 2 oz Beach Whiskey - Island Coconut flavor 3/4 oz fresh lime juice 3/4 oz pineapple juice Club soda if you need to cut the strength - wimps! Combine the Beach Whiskey, lime juice and pineapple juice in a shaker. Shake well. Strain the drink into a whiskey glass filled with ice. Top it off with a splash of club soda if you need to tone it down a bit.
