BoMel Goes Off

How bad does a team have to play to make Bob Melvin mad? Well, pretty bad it turns out. Today the boys are talking all about Melvin and his rage, the demotion of Luis Matos to make room for Austin Slater, and Ben's personal barista? Also a lightning round full of humility, cortisone shots and career ending stupidity.

On the cocktail side of things Ben is drinking a Carajillo Puesto while Matthew is drinking a Maneki-Neko-ish. Recipes below.

Carajillo Puesto

  • 2 oz Licor 43
  • 2 oz Espresso

Add Licor 43 and ice to a rocks glass. Layer with espresso.

Maneki-Neko-ish

  • 2 oz Sesame-infused Bourbon
  • 1/2 oz Licor 43
  • 1/2 oz Cocchi Torino Sweet Vermouth
  • 2 Dashes Angostura Bitters
  • Orange peel for garnish

First steep 4 ounces of bourbon with one tablespoon of toasted sesame seeds for at least 24 hours. Then combine all ingredients in a mixing glass with ice. Stir for 30-40 seconds. Strain into a rocks glass with a large ice cube. Express orange oils over drink and garnish with the peel.
