Grab your favorite drink and join us for a nostalgic deep dive into Carolyn B. Cooney’s, The Face on the Milk Carton. This month, we’re tackling a book that's been on our radar for ages, only to find it a bit of an uphill climb! With a plot that left us wanting, this episode promises candid critiques, hearty laughs, and of course, some deliciously themed drinks.
Drink Recipe:
Brandy Alexander – A classic cocktail that's essentially booze-infused chocolate milk.
- 1.5 ounces cognac
- 1 ounce dark creme de cacao
- 1 ounce cream
- Add all to shaker with ice and shake until cold
- Strain into a chilled glass
FYI: Beth's DIY version with almond milk and cherry brandy? Not a hit.
