Bonus! Here is the David Lynch Dune-inspired cocktail recipe Christian mentioned which ChatGPT created:
Ingredients
2 oz Rye whiskey
0.5 oz Amaro Nonino
1 tsp Apricot preserves (adjust to taste for sweetness)
0.75 oz Fresh lemon juice
1 tsp Allspice Dram
A pinch of sea salt
A thin lemon wheel (for garnish)
Instructions:
If the apricot preserves are quite chunky, mix them with a little hot water first to create a smoother consistency.
Combine the rye whiskey, Amaro Nonino, apricot preserves, fresh lemon juice, Allspice Dram, and sea salt in a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
Shake vigorously until well-chilled. This will help incorporate the apricot preserves into the drink.
Double strain the cocktail into a rocks glass over a large ice cube (the double straining will help catch any chunks from the apricot preserves).
Garnish with a thin lemon wheel.
Enjoy your cocktail! It should have a unique texture and rich apricot flavor from the preserves.

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.
