Drinking With The Saints

Mike and Alexandra discuss:

How to make your own simple syrup
The translation of the Bible into Latin from Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek
St. Jerome’s struggle to learn Hebrew
The different forms of the Latin translation over the centuries
Jerome’s feuds with Origen, St. Ambrose, and St. Augustine

Drink of the Week: Whiskey Sour

2 oz. whiskey, usually rye or bourbon

2 tsp simple syrup or ½ tsp. powdered sugar

1 oz. lemon juice

lemon and cherry

Put sugar and all liquid ingredients into a shaker filled with ice and shake forty times. Strain into a sour glass and garnish with a slice or wedge of lemon and a cherry. Don’t be afraid to let a dash of cherry juice slip in too, if you want, and feel free to use a cocktail glass if you don’t have a sour.
