026 - Tequila Sunrise for Antony in the Desert
Mike and Alexandra discuss St. Antony in the Desert, Antony vs. Anthony. They issue a mea culpa on a recipe from the Drinking with the Saints book and offer a revised version. They also talk about two bonus drinks for St. Antony, including a recipe if you are keeping January dry.
Some tidbits about St. Antony include his influence on monasticism, his association with pigs, and how his story influenced the conversion of St. Augustine.
Drink: Tequila Sunrise (New and Improved Edition!)
2 oz. tequila
2 oz. orange juice
¼ oz. grenadine
Stir the tequila and orange juice in a mixing glass filled with ice and strain into a highball glass. Add ice. Pour in grenadine slowly around the inner perimeter of the glass. The grenadine will settle to the bottom and create a sunrise effect.
The Desert Pear Mocktail
1 oz. Desert Pear Syrup from Monin Syrups
½ oz. Lemon juice
5 oz. Sparkling Water
