S2E7 Not Your Grandfather’s Dry January

Description:

To kick off 2024 the Green Docs raise a glass with Dan Scott, a master mixologist in Los Angeles, California and founder of his own craft beverage catering company, The Whaling Club.  With over a decade of experience blending spirits in New York, DC, and now LA, Dan has served some of Hollywood’s brightest stars – and here he’s sharing custom mocktail recipes just for us.  Because as you’ll learn, this is not your Grandfather’s Dry January.

 

Nate and Bruce break down the headlines: the ozone hole is getting… smaller, California recycles champagne bottles, and Paris’ waterway reopens to swimmers.  In-Seine!  Throughout the episode they share New Year’s Resolutions from past guests including: Jeanne Conry, Kristin Lyerly, and Alex Rivest; they add a few of their own too.  Plus, who can help Nate figure out what fish to order at a restaurant?  Imbibe a cup o’kindness with the Green Docs to greet 2024: restorative, informative, slightly less pejorative.  Cheers!
