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!!
