High Potential S1E7

If you haven't been watching High Potential on ABC or Hulu, you need to start right now. It is such a great show and stars Kaitlin Olson, who is phenomenal and such a kind and funny woman, yes I have met her briefly one time, hopefully I will meet her again and get her on the podcast.

In case you are wanting to know what the show is about, it's about Morgan, a single mom with three kids and an exceptional mind, helps solve an unsolvable crime when she rearranges some evidence during her shift as a cleaner for the police department. When they discover she has a knack for putting things in order because of her high intellectual potential, she is brought on as a consultant to work with a by-the-book seasoned detective, Karadec. Together they form an unusual and unstoppable team. All episodes are streaming on Hulu and Disney+.

The Clue Juice:

Ingredients

• 1.5 oz Bourbon (for boldness and grit)
• 0.5 oz Coffee Liqueur (because she’s probably running on caffeine)
• 0.75 oz Fresh Lemon Juice (zesty and sharp)
• 0.5 oz Honey Syrup (sweetness for the kids)
• 2 dashes Aromatic Bitters (for depth and sass)
• Garnish: Lemon twist + a mini magnifying glass pick (for fun)
• Optional: a splash of cola or soda for a bubbly, chaotic twist

1. Add bourbon, coffee liqueur, lemon juice, honey syrup, and bitters to a shaker with ice.
2. Shake like you're trying to shake a clue out of someone.
3. Strain over fresh ice in a rocks glass.
4. Top with a splash of cola if you want to lean into that unpredictable flair.
5. Garnish with a lemon twist and a cheeky nod to sleuthing—a magnifying glass pick or tiny notebook if you’re feeling extra.
