Agent Carter S2E5 – The Atomic Job

Here we finally see Peggy-Daniel-Violet love triangle sub-plot move along a little bit more wherein Violet recognizes how much Daniel really cares for Peggy. One thing I really liked about the development of this conflict is that nobody is a bad guy here. I feel like often somebody is considered a relationship wrecker or a […]

Agent Carter S2E4 – Smoke and Mirrors

As the drama escalates there is a little less time for drinking. And Whitney Frost’s face cracks up. Flashback to Peggy Carter’s engagement party where she and her fiance and brother are all sitting at a table discussing the war. Many people are in the scene drinking so it’s a bar scene. Total number of […]

Episode 91: Like Mother Used to Make ...

The Mother-in-Law Cocktail is a tricky one to discuss. It is a family recipe out of New Orleans, and the ingredients are in great proportions to make it something you store in a bottle. This drink calls for New Orleans staple Peychaud’s Bitters, Angostura, Bitters, Amer Picon, Orange Curacao, simple syrup, maraschino liqueur, and Bourbon. […]

Agent Carter S2E3 – Better Angels

It’ll be interesting to […]

Episode 90: Making a Monkey Out of Us...

We have done a number of episodes that have taken us into the realm of gross. Sometimes it is the ingredients, sometimes it is the backstory, sometimes it is because we are gross. The Monkey Gland is a special one because hits on all three! Join us as we break down the why Harry MacElhone […]

Agent Carter S1E7 – SNAFU

Does this stuff implode, explode or spice up an old fashioned? It’s not surprising Dooley knows the old fashioned given the times even if he would just prefer straight scotch. #BittersInEverything #RogersInEverything   Two glasses of white wine in Dooley’s home life fantasy. I had a little trouble with this one. You can note in […]

Episode 89: Out With The Old – The Mo...

The Modernista, or as it is known originally, The Modern Cocktail, has recipe that appears to have all the flavors and all the booze. Just not all the flavors you might think go together with absinthe, scotch, orange bitters, lemon juice, and rum. It seems this is one cocktail that really was forgotten, starting in […]
