Will Matthews & The Dark Crystal

Gelfling! Skeksis! It's Episode 36 and The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance co-Executive Producer and Writer Will Matthews joins us for a bourbon cocktail and a special look behind the scenes of his new Netflix series!
This episode's drink by Elliot:
The Summer Crystal
2 oz. Four Roses Bourbon
.5 oz. Cointreau
.5 oz. fresh lemon juice
1 oz. blackberry/peach/mint shrub
1 dash Fee Bros. Aromatic Bitters
sparkling water
Combine all but sparkling water in a cocktail shaker with ice and shake until cold. Strain into a rocks glass over fresh ice and top with sparkling water, giving a gentle stir to incorporate. (To make the blackberry/peach/mint shrub, place a 1.5 cups of blackberries, 1 chopped peach, and about 1/4 cup of mint leaves in a bowl and muddle to release the juices, then pour over a cup of granulated sugar. Mix together with a spoon, and then let sit, covered, for about an hour to macerate the fruit, which will also dissolve most of the sugars. Once that's done, pour into to a mason jar and add 1 cup of apple cider vinegar. Shake to combine and let sit in the refrigerator overnight or longer, shaking occasionally. Once it's to your liking, pour through a mesh strainer to catch the blackberry seeds into a clean vessel and store in the fridge.)
