Sarah and Cynthia discuss historical fiction novel, The Swan's Nest, by Laura McNeal and dive into the love story of Elizabeth Barrett and Robert Browning framed by the backdrop of industrial London, tainted wealth, and limited choices from their families and society.
This episode's cocktail is fittingly called, The Poet.
2 oz rye whiskey
1/4 oz simple syrup or honey
1 tsp fresh ginger, peeled
1 lemon wedge
2 sprigs mint
splash of soda water (we used more than a splash)
Muddle the ginger, lemon, and one sprig of mint in the simple syrup. Add ice, whiskey, and soda then mix well. Add the second sprig of mint as a garnish if you are feeling fancy. Who doesn't want to feel fancy! We added the second sprig.
