It's a Woman!: Episode 41 (the Life and Times of Rosemary Kennedy)

In this episode we are sipping on the most popular Bostonian cocktail, the Ward 8. This politically-inspired drink is a delicious variation on a rye whiskey sour and was created to celebrate an election win the day before it happened—its popularity ties into the era and region of STEPHANIE’s scandal.

STEPHANIE’s scandal is the life and times of Rosemary Kennedy, the sibling who was sacrificed to make her brothers’ political careers possible. We raise our glass to bodily autonomy and the joys of being a woman!!

Contagious, Deadly, & UGLY: Episode 39 (Early America's Vaccines & Vaccine Mandates)

In this episode we are sipping on a colonial cocktail, the Stone Fence. This simple yet very funky concoction was once the favorite of Ethan Allen and Benedict Arnold—its popularity ties into the era and region of TUX’s scandal.

In this vaccination themed episode of Beyond Reproach, TUX talks about the Founding Fathers views on vaccine mandates, America’s first anti-vax movement and the Black man who deserves credit for bringing the idea of inoculation to the New World. We raise our glasses to doing our patriotic duty and getting vaccinated because vaccines save lives!
