Ours, Played Date Night

To pair with Wizard of Legend, we recommend:

Playing Big Book of Madness
- We thought we’d pair one element-slinging wizard game with another. This one is tabletop, however.
- Check out our previous episode on BBOM.
Delayed Blast Fireball
- Delayed blast fireball straight from the D&D cookbook:
- 1.5 cups bourbon
- 1⁄2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 5 cinnamon sticks broken in half
- 1⁄4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1⁄3 cup hot water
- Fill glass jar with bourbon, red pepper flakes, and cinnamon, shake and sit for 5 days. Shake once per day. After infusing, combine brown sugar and water and strain bourbon into the mixture
- Enjoy neat or as a part of another whiskey cocktail that could benefit from some heat!
