We're getting our cozy winter on, while we talk about the popular winter holiday drink Eggnog. Turns out it has nothing to do with Yule and is pretty darn American (even if there are some European origins in there). Join us as we discuss some of the wild history of Eggnog and the alcohol and plants associated with it!
Eggnog... it's eggs.... and alcohol? One of those love it or hate it beverages, Eggnog's origins come from a non alcoholic beverage made by Monks. On this episode we talk about why we chose the alcohol we do for Eggnog, where the drink comes from, and give a little synopsis of some of the plants associated with creating this drink (which we will go into more detail about later). Look out for our next episode on Champagne, which is also a holiday themed episode for New Years. Hope you're drinking up on these cold winter days!

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
