Our Time Radio: Show 3 Playlist

Last week’s “Cocktail Hour” was a rousing success, as you can see by my Gin Rickey below. In case you missed it, you can find all the drink recipes I introduced during the show after the bump.

Our Time Radio: Show 3 – Oct. 10, 2013

Act 1: Cocktail Hour

1. Melody Gardot – Your Heart Is As Black As Night
2. Amy Irving – Why Don’t You Do Right?
3. Beth Rowley – You’ve Got Me Wrapped Around Your Little Finger
4. Benny Goodman & His Orchestra – If I Had You

   Cocktail Recipe No. 1: Gin Rickey

   • 2 oz of your favorite gin (I prefer Hendrick’s)
   • Juice of 1 lime
   • club soda or sparkling water
   • lime wedge

   Preparation:

   1. Fill your highball glass (or favorite cup, I’m not picky) with ice.
   2. Pour the gin and lime juice over the ice.
   3. Top with club soda/sparkling water.
   4. Garnish with a lime wedge.
   5. Sip away.
7. Stacey Kent – Ces Petits Riens
8. Francoise Hardy – Comment te dire adieu
9. Serge Gainsbourg & Jane Birkin – Je T’Aime Non PlusCocktail Recipe No. 2: Rusty Nail
   • 1 1/2 oz Scotch whisky
   • 1/2 oz Drambuie
   • 1 twist lemon peel

   Preparation:
   Pour the scotch and Drambuie into an old-fashioned glass almost filled with ice. Stir well. Garnish with the lemon twist.

   Substitute Canadian rye whiskey for Scotch to make yourself a Donald Sutherland or Drambuie Shandy. Tasty!

10. Kat Edmonson – Champagne
11. Karen Elson – The Ghost Who Walks
12. Brenda Lee – Break It To Me Gently
13. Julie London – Sway

             Cocktail Recipe No. 3: SweetTarts aka Purple Drink aka Danger Juice

• 1 – 2 liter bottle of Sunkist (other orange soda works, but this is best)
• 2 packets of Grape Kool-Aid (accept no substitute)
• 1 packet of Cherry Kool-Aid
• 2 cups of Everclear

 Preparation:

• Empty Sunkist halfway down (put into another container), then mix in Everclear and slowly add Kool-Aid packets (they bubble up like mad). Cap the bottle and slowly mix. Add as much Sunkist can go back in the bottle and chill. Serve as shots or a punch. Feel free to add more Everclear, depending on your party-goers. Enjoy at your own risk; this drink is potent!
