Church History Hangover

Serving up some hot gnosis for your dome this month. Did you know that God wasn't really God, but he thought he was? Did you know that women couldn't get to the kingdom until they were turned into men? Did you know that Stephanie went to school with Ray Combs' kid?

Do you know how to make a Tom Collins? Now you do:

1. Fill a Collins glass with 1 1/2 cups ice, set aside in the freezer. Combine gin, lemon juice, and simple syrup in a cocktail shaker. Add 1 cup ice, cover and shake until chilled. Strain into the chilled Collins glass.
2. Top with club soda and garnish with a lemon wedge.

You forgot to get your honey a Valentine's Day gift. Don't worry, we've got you covered. You just need to grab a few things, citron vodka, cranberry juice, simple syrup, and champagne. And a scented candle. And a bluetooth speaker. Mix the booze, dim the lights, light the candle, and turn on this episode. Romantic evening solved.

Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals. It's our Saint Nicholas episode. Prepare to have your face blasted with egg-noggy historical facts all about the jolly old saint. We also talked about our favorite Christmas memories. Poor Abram. We drank mulled wine this time. Here's the recipe:

Red, red wine - about a gallon (think the glass jugs on the bottom shelf - we used Gallo Paisano)

Brandy - about half a bottle (375 ml) - the best you can afford. Or use the whole bottle if you want to get turnt.

A jar of cinnamon sticks (10-12 sticks?)

8-12 whole cloves

Sugar (start with a half cup, and add to taste)

Sprinkle in some nutmeg if you're freaky. We did.

Put it in a big-ass pot on the stove, bring it to a boil for a sec, and then down to a simmer. Drink it hot.

Our drink of the day is The Drunken Worm:

Passionfruit vodka, Coconut rum, Triple Sec, Peach schnapps, sweet and sour mix, gummy worms (optional: insulin)

Girls! Women in church history! Girls! Sangria! Did we mention girls?!?!

Sangria is red or white wine with orange juice, fresh citrus fruit, and some kind of kicker. We used Cognac.

Just in time for Holy Week, the guys talk about the Crucifixion, while drinking Rusty Nails (3 parts Scotch whisky, 1 part Drambuie)

On this episode, we fixed the crappy audio from last time, and we talked about the first baptist - John the Baptist.

Our drink this time if you're playing the home game is a Snakebite Shot:

2 oz (yeah right) Yukon Jack Canadian Liqueur

Splash of lime juice

Over ice

First episode! The guys talk about the earliest origins of the Christian faith, by exploring where the source texts of the OT came from, and learning a bit about the political and cultural environment of the time of Christ. Their cocktail of choice for this episode is the venerable Old Fashioned

Old Fashioned recipe:

2 oz. Straight Kentucky bourbon (we used Ancient Age - get it?)

1 orange wedge with peel

Splash of Maraschino cherry syrup

4 dashes of Angostura bitters

Splash of water or club soda

Shake it up and pour it over ice
