013 - Inventing a Drink for St. Edward the Confessor
Mike and Alexandra learn about St. Edward the Confessor and his father’s bizarre nickname, and then invent a drink on the spot in honor of St. Edward. Will it turn out to be any good?
They also get to the bottom of what exactly a confessor even is, and throw in a bonus drink for another saint who is celebrated today.
St. Edward the Confessor: October 13th
Drink: The Royal Touch
1 ½ oz. London Dry gin
¾ oz. Chambord
1 egg white
¾ oz. lemon juice
Dash of bitters
Mix all ingredients except bitters and dry shake without ice. Then add ice and shake again. Strain into a cocktail glass. Add bitters to “float” on top.
