Seeing as how we’re mostly a Star Trek show now, we thought it apropos to come up with a drink for the new series. So here it is, the Picard!
The Picard is one of our better concoctions, and the perfect accompaniment to the promising new series. For our thoughts on episode “Number One”, check out our podcast here: https://besottedgeek.podbean.com/e/star-trek-picard-11-remembrance/
Caroline Rhea hires David Hasselhoff to plan her Christmas, and we plan on drinking heavily to make it through this movie.
Dear God….
Shot: Fruitcake (Sling)shot, perfect for hitting neighborhood bullies who steal your sled in the nards.
1/4oz each: dark rum; apple brandy; orange liqueur; hazelnut liqueur
Cocktail: ‘Hoff’ Toddy, best served to keep fighting in-laws from leaving during the holidays. Or, you know, just let them go. Either way.
Rinse an Irish coffee glass with 1/4oz cinnamon schnapps. Add 3oz whiskey, 1tsp honey. Squeeze and drop in a lemon wedge. Fill with hot water. Stir. Garnish with a lemon wheel and cinnamon.
This was another movie picked by our beloved patrons and meant to torture us, but guess what? It wasn’t that bad. There were some really cringe-worthy moments, but it had a heartwarming ending, and isn’t that what real Christmas movies are all about? (Looking at you, Die Hard.)
Anyways, check out our full thoughts on the movie and drinks, as well as movie news, games, ranking 12 other “Christmas” films, plus much more at patreon.com/besottedgeek!
