Episode 6 - Queens ... under pressure
All right, y'all. Buckle up. This is a toughy. Gina talks about what it was like growing up as a walking giant stress chihuahua and living life with generalized anxiety disorder. And not all of it is pretty. So .... CONTENT WARNING ... We get into, among other things, self-harm and sexual assault. If listening to this will cause you issues, do not listen. We hate to get all down in the dumps on ya, but at the same time, we want to make sure that no one dealing with anxiety feels alone. And seriously, folks, if you have issues with anxiety, depression, or any kind of potential health issue, PLEASE seek help. It has made a world of difference in Gina's life. You ARE worth the effort, we promise.
l’Orange Grand Fizz
This weeks cocktail is one using Elderflower liqueur (in keeping with our spring theme). I want to give a call out to our bougie ice again, Howard & Sons Ice in Dallas has simply the most incredible hand cut ice. I know it’s decadent and probably people think it’s a waste but I will do my hair at home if it means I can keep getting this ice. It’s amazing and it makes my cocktails SO happy. I swear it melts slower and it’s crystal clear. Seriously lovely. It makes it taste better!
Ingredients-
1 1/2 oz orange flavored vodka (we used Grey Goose l’Orange )
1/2 oz fresh orange juice
1 oz fizzy water
3 wedges fresh orange
Instructions-
Combine everything but the water and oranges in the cocktail shaker with ice. Shake vigorously. Strain into a glass and add fizzy water. Stir to mix. Add the orange wedges and serve.
