015 - St. Jude and the Desperado
Mike and Alexandra talk about St. Jude and the surprising origins of his devotion, the well-known hospital named after him, and his also-overlooked companion St. Simon. They also mix a cocktail with a very unusual list of ingredients.
St. Jude: October 28th
Drink: The Desperado
2 oz. Patron Añejo tequila
¾ oz. sweet vermouth
½ oz. amontillado sherry
¼ oz. Cynar
1 orange twist for garnish
Pour all ingredients except orange twist into a shaker filled with ice and stir 40 times. Strain into a cocktail glass and garnish with orange.
Note: And for the record, the correct pronunciation of Cynar is SIGH-nar.
