Show Notes

Wait, Jeff Kent is a Hall of Famer? Our snowbirds discuss the rather lackluster winter meetings including the draft lottery, Rule 5 draft, and the size of Buster's suite. Later they break down the Giants approach to improving the roster and why Ben won't be able to dress up as the Black Power Ranger. Also, Jeff Kent makes the Hall of Fame and Marco Luciano is a Pirate.

On the cocktail side of things, today Ben is drinking a Calamansi Margarita while Matthew is drinking a Holiday Old Fashioned. Recipes below.

Calamansi Margarita

  • 2 oz Blanco Tequila
  • 1 oz Cointreau
  • 1 oz Calamansi Lime Juice
  • Prepare a rocks glass with a salted rim, if desired. Combine the tequila, Cointreau and Calamansi lim juice in a shaker with ice. Shake until chilled and strain into a rocks glass with fresh ice.

Holiday Old Fashioned

  • 2 oz Bourbon or Rye
  • 1/4 oz - 1/2 oz Spiced Demerara Syrup
  • 2 Dashes Angostura Bitters
  • 2 Dashes Orange Bitters

  • Add all ingredients to a mixing glass with ice. Stir for 30 seconds. Strain into a rocks glass with a large cube. Garnish with a cocktail cherry and an orange peel.
