Episode 62: I Spy With My Big Eyes

We've got a new format! Listen as we discuss some of this week's current events; we share some new things that we learned - after sex selfies, and why men like women with big eye, and we air out some of our grievances during the "Grinds Our Gears" segment!

Drink of the Week

Bug Eyes

• 1 cup sugar
• 2 cups grated English cucumber (about 1 cucumber), plus cucumber wedges, for garnish
• 9 ounces vodka, chilled
• 12 ounces cranberry juice (no sugar added)
• 1/2 cup fresh lime juice (from about 4 limes)
• Ice, for serving

DIRECTIONS

1. STEP 1

   Bring sugar and 1 cup water to a boil in a small pot. Reduce heat, and simmer, stirring until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat, stir in grated cucumber, and let cool. Pour through a fine sieve into a bowl or large glass measuring cup, and discard solids (you should have 2 cups syrup). Cucumber syrup can be refrigerated up to 3 days.

2. STEP 2

   Combine cucumber syrup, vodka, and cranberry and lime juices in a 2-quart pitcher. Cocktail can be refrigerated up to 8 hours. Serve over ice, and garnish with cucumber wedges.
