So, 1 shooter, 1 strong ass cocktail and a couple slices of rum cake. That'll do her. After the demon rum starts coursing through her veins, her conversation goes south of the bikini. Pumpkin offers her 12 steps to a cheaper 2009. Free booze is good. Bar supplies on the cheap, we tell you how. Need to make some extra cash? Sell your stomach. All in this episode. Sunshine takes us back on course with Elvis Bday trivia and Mrs. Kravitz shenanigans. Our official drink of the week is the classic Dr. Funk. A refreshingly odd little drink. But damn good. There so much more but we honestly forgot to take notes, just listen and drink along.
This Weeks Drink: Dr. Funk
1.5 oz Dark rum
.25 oz Pastis or Absinthe
.5 oz lemon juice
.5 oz grenadine
1 oz lime juice (fresh squeezed)
Shake, shake, shake. Just pour into a tall glass filled with crushed ice. A long straw is perfect for Dr. Funk. Garnish with lemon wedge on rim and three or four cherries, olives or a combo of both. Funky!
This week we go over all of the basic booze, liquers and mixers you'll need. Check us out next week for Part Two, where we'll discuss decor barware, plants, lighting, and music.

Pumpkin expresses dismay about her boyfriend flying across the Atlantic to ride stupid roller coasters. We also breifly discuss the failure of the Senate to pass the Federal Marriage Amendment.
