Checking In on the Kids

How are all the "young" players doing, anyway? The boys react to the Red Sox series: Webb falters, Tidwell & Smith impress (and the offense does not) and Tugboat takes on water. Oh, and there's a diving junk grab, Ben really wants to highlight that for some reason. Then they discuss which replacement players are taking advantage of their playing time.

On the cocktail side of things, today Matthew is drinking Military Orange while Ben is drinking a Knickerbocker. Recipes below.

Military Orange

• 2 oz Gin
• 1 oz Lemon Juice
• 3/4 oz Orgeat
• 1/4 oz Orange Curacao
• 2 dashes orange bitters
• Shake all ingredients with ice. Double strain into a chilled coupe glass.

Knickerbocker

• 2 1/2 oz Amber Rum
• 1/4-1/2 oz Raspberry Syrup
• 1/4 oz Orange Liqueur
• 1/2 Lime
• Squeeze lime into a shaker, drop in husk, add the rest of the ingredients and ice. Shake until chilled. Dump entire contents into a rocks glass.
