Married to a Corpse: Episode 44 (The story of the Freedman's Savings Bank)

In this very special episode in honor of Black History Month we are drinking a boozy, frosty concoction that ties into TUX’s scandal called the Prescription Julep. This julep dates back to 1857 and according to our friend (in our minds) barroom historian David Wondrich “it is one of the tastiest mint julep recipes he knows.” We concur because this drink is essentially an adult snow cone.
