In this very special Halloween episode we are drinking one of our absolute favorite cocktails (this will soon be apparent #sorrynotsorry), the Gimlet. This lime-laced gin beverage became the drink of choice by British officers on long ocean voyages out of necessity to prevent scurvy–its popularity with sailors ties to the era and theme of STEPHANIE’s scandal.
STEPHANIE exposes the ahistorical rebranding of Christopher Columbus and the holiday invented as a PR campaign to smooth over some good ol American lynching. We 🥂to wishing that Christopher Columbus died of dick scurvy! Rest in piss.
