On the Rocks

Epic pun incoming! The brothers Henry analyze the second series defeat in a row to the Rockies, discuss the Giants All-Star selections, and conclude the Jung Hoo Lee Watch (did JHL win Ben's respect? Press play to find out.) Then they ask the impossible question: are the Rockies more entertaining than the Giants?

On the cocktail side of things, today Matthew is drinking a 5th of July while Ben is getting Mountain High. Recipes below.

5th of July

• 2 oz Gin
• 3/4 oz Lemon Juice
• 1/2 oz Demerara Syrup
• 3 strawberries
• 5 blueberries
• 1 dash orange bitters
• Tiny pinch of sea salt
• Muddle berries and syrup in a cocktail shaker. Add remaining ingredients plus ice and shake until well-chilled. Double-strain into a rocks glass over fresh ice. Garnish with mint sprig and couple of blueberries.

Mountain High

• 2 oz Tequila blanco
• 1 oz Blood orange juice
• 1/4 oz Grenadine
• Layer the grenadine on the bottom of an empty rocks glass. Fill the rocks glass with ice. Combine tequila and blood orange juice in a shaker with ice and shake until chilled and strain into the prepared rocks glass. Garnish with a blood orange wheel.
