Do you fret about the future of America? Are you embarrassed for tomorrow’s televised disaster billed as a “presidential debate”? The Dispatch is here for you. Fact-checker and upstart mixologist Alex Demas invited Peter Suderman, editor at Reason Magazine and cocktail connoisseur, to cook up a menu of drinks strong and delicious enough to drown the bitterness of our political moment.
If you successfully make one of these cocktails, take a photo and tweet at us! We can be found @TheDispatch.
The Agenda:
— Peter’s cocktail origin story
— Balancing a drink
— Surviving the cocktail dark ages
— The Menu: Cheapfake, Build Back Wetter, and The Illiberal
— TheDispatch-Themed Drink: Junto Sour
Show notes:
— Benjamin Franklin’s milk punch recipe
— Alegria Bar
— Your Only Friend
— The now-closed Columbia Room bar
— Cocktails with Suderman
