011 - St. Michael, St. Michael’s Sword, and How to Drink Like a Saint, Pt. 5

Mike and Alexandra talk about St. Michael and Archangel, the Devil’s spit, and the connection of both to blackberries. They also share some trivia about St. Michael and the Angels and finish off their five-part series on how to drink like a Saint.

Happy Devil’s Spit Day!

St. Michael: September 29th (Feast of the Archangels)

Drink: St. Michael's Sword

1 ½ oz. Jim Beam Devil’s Cut Bourbon

¾ oz. blackberry brandy

2 dashes orange bitters

1 cherry for garnish

Pour all ingredients except cherry into a glass filled with ice and stir 40 times. Strain into a cocktail glass. Use a cocktail spear (St. Michael’s sword) to transfix the cherry (the Devil, red with shame and rage).
