S3E7: Negronis
It’s the negroni episode! Laura loves her cat but she’s been stress eating, and Sara has to keep wearing her glasses for a bit longer but she’s enjoying Bridgerton on Netflix. This episode was recorded on New Year’s Eve, which was the perfect time to try a bunch of cocktails. The ladies are joined by Laura’s boyfriend, Luke, as they taste several variations of the Negroni and Laura provides some history of the drink. Then there’s a listener question about dinner parties before finishing with recommendations.
