        <description>Hello Everyone! I&#039;m Ani Avedissian. Welcome to Metaphysical Martini. Three parts spirit. One part rational mind. Add two drops of optimism. Give it all good, hard shake and pour.

Dress it with the olives of grace and empathy. Sit back, sip slowly and contemplate the wonder of cosmic co-creation.

Join me, Ani Avedissian, to find out what&#039;s true...what&#039;s woo...and what gets flushed down the loo in today&#039;s poorly educated, highly opinionated, dysfunctional little world.

Our goal is to &quot;Let the Spirit Inhabit the Human,&quot; but be warned - this show is politically incorrect because we do not wish to erode our intellect. If you are easily offended, this show is not for you. If, on the other hand, you are a sovereign soul with a sense of humor and capacity for objectivity, then welcome aboard!

Hey Peeps!
I make podcasts and videos on my own dime to promote social awareness, to encourage We the Peeps to share ideas and opinions. Without open, civil discussion, we cannot build a better world. Unless we are willing to entertain alternative points of view and have the guts to change our minds when presented with new information, we cannot enter the new golden age of reason. We need space to share, to declare and above all, we need to relearn the importance of discussion for the sake of evolution, not for the sake of winning an argument.

<p>Hello Everyone!  I'm Ani Avedissian.  Welcome to Metaphysical Martini.  3 parts spirit.  1 part rational mind.  Add 2 drops of optimism.  Give it all good, hard shake and pour.</p>
<p>Dress it with the olives of grace and empathy.  Sit back, sip slowly and contemplate the wonder of cosmic co-creation.</p>
<p>Join me, Ani Avedissian, to find out what's true...what's woo...and what gets flushed down the loo in today's poorly educated, highly opinionated, dysfunctional little world.</p>
<p>Our goal is to "Let the Spirit Inhabit the Human," but be warned - this show is politically incorrect because we do not wish to erode our intellect.  If you are easily offended, this show is not for you.  If, on the other hand, you are a sovereign soul with a sense of humor and capacity for objectivity, then welcome aboard!</p>

<p>Hello Everyone! I'm Ani Avedissian. Welcome to Metaphysical Martini. 3 parts spirit. 1 part rational mind. Add 2 drops of optimism. Give it all good, hard shake and pour.</p>
<p>Dress it with the olives of grace and empathy. Sit back, sip slowly and contemplate the wonder of cosmic co-creation. <br /> <br />Join me, Ani Avedissian, to find out what's true...what's woo...and what gets flushed down the loo in today's poorly educated, highly opinionated, dysfunctional little world.</p>
<p>Our goal is to "Let the Spirit Inhabit the Human," but be warned - this show is politically incorrect because we do not wish to erode our intellect. If you are easily offended, this show is not for you. If, on the other hand, you are a sovereign soul with a sense of humor and capacity for objectivity, then welcome aboard!</p>
<p>TODAY'S REAL LIFE COCKTAIL</p>

<p>2 ounces Bulleit Rye Whisky<br />1 ounce fresh lime juice<br />3/4 ounce ginger syrup</p>
<p>Lime twist, candied or plain, for garnish.</p>
<p>Place all liquid ingredients into a shaker with cracked ice.<br />Hard shake<br />Strain and pour into your favorite chilled cocktail glass</p>
<p>Garnish with gusto!</p>

<p>TODAY'S REAL LIFE COCKTAIL:<br />Skeleton Key Cocktail</p>
<p>1 ½ ounces bourbon<br />¾ ounce St. Germain elderflower liqueur<br />½ ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice<br />3 to 5 ounce ginger beer<br />6 to 8 dashes Angostura bitters</p>
<p>You make this one in the glass – no shaker required.</p>
<p>1. Fill a highball glass with ice. Pour in the bourbon, St Germain, and lemon juice. Top with the ginger beer.<br />2. Shake in 6 to 8 dashes Angostura bitters. Serve immediately. Slight swish of the ice cubes and it is delicious and refreshing and it doesn’t knock you on your arse – and that’s always a good thing.</p>
<p>Enjoy!</p>

If you are easily offended, this show is not for you. If, on the other hand, you are a sovereign soul with a sense of humor and capacity for objectivity, then welcome aboard!
TODAY'S REAL LIFE COCKTAIL:Skeleton Key Cocktail
1 ½ ounces bourbon¾ ounce St. Germain elderflower liqueur½ ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice3 to 5 ounce ginger beer6 to 8 dashes Angostura bitters
You make this one in the glass – no shaker required.
1. Fill a highball glass with ice. Pour in the bourbon, St Germain, and lemon juice. Top with the ginger beer.2. Shake in 6 to 8 dashes Angostura bitters. Serve immediately. Slight swish of the ice cubes and it is delicious and refreshing and it doesn’t knock you on your arse – and that’s always a good thing.
Enjoy!

In a shaker with cracked ice, add the liquid ingredients and shake well. Strain (or not) and pour into two chilled Martini glasses. Garnish with two lychees on a cocktail stick. If you want to make this drink spooky for All Hallows Eve, place a blueberry in each lychee to make them look like eyes.
Enjoy!

<p>Hello Everyone! I'm Ani Avedissian. Welcome to Metaphysical Martini. 3 parts spirit. 1 part rational mind. Add 2 drops of optimism. Give it all good, hard shake and pour.</p>
<p>Dress it with the olives of grace and empathy. Sit back, sip slowly and contemplate the wonder of cosmic co-creation. <br /> <br />Join me, Ani Avedissian, to find out what's true...what's woo...and what gets flushed down the loo in today's poorly educated, highly opinionated, dysfunctional little world.</p>
<p>Our goal is to "Let the Spirit Inhabit the Human," but be warned - this show is politically incorrect because we do not wish to erode our intellect. If you are easily offended, this show is not for you. If, on the other hand, you are a sovereign soul with a sense of humor and capacity for objectivity, then welcome aboard!</p>

<p>Pour into a jug with cracked ice and stir well.<br />Strain and pour into a 3 oz cocktail glass.</p>

                    <![CDATA[. . . and a long poem about the liquor store
Hello Everyone! I'm Ani Avedissian. Welcome to Metaphysical Martini. 3 parts spirit. 1 part rational mind. Add 2 drops of optimism. Give it all good, hard shake and pour.
Dress it with the olives of grace and empathy. Sit back, sip slowly and contemplate the wonder of cosmic co-creation.  Join me, Ani Avedissian, to find out what's true...what's woo...and what gets flushed down the loo in today's poorly educated, highly opinionated, dysfunctional little world.
Our goal is to "Let the Spirit Inhabit the Human," but be warned - this show is politically incorrect because we do not wish to erode our intellect. If you are easily offended, this show is not for you. If, on the other hand, you are a sovereign soul with a sense of humor and capacity for objectivity, then welcome aboard!

Hello Everyone! I'm Ani Avedissian. Welcome to Metaphysical Martini. 3 parts spirit. 1 part rational mind. Add 2 drops of optimism. Give it all good, hard shake and pour.
Dress it with the olives of grace and empathy. Sit back, sip slowly and contemplate the wonder of cosmic co-creation.  Join me, Ani Avedissian, to find out what's true...what's woo...and what gets flushed down the loo in today's poorly educated, highly opinionated, dysfunctional little world.
Our goal is to "Let the Spirit Inhabit the Human," but be warned - this show is politically incorrect because we do not wish to erode our intellect. If you are easily offended, this show is not for you. If, on the other hand, you are a sovereign soul with a sense of humor and capacity for objectivity, then welcome aboard!
TODAY'S REAL LIFE COCKTAIL:
Peach Botanical Spritz
1.5 oz Ketel One Botanical Peach and Orange Blossom Vodka.5 oz fresh orange juice.3 oz peach liqueur.3 oz fresh lemon juice.3 oz seltzer water or sparkling wine
Fill a nice big wine glass with ice.Add all the ingredients.Stir gently.Garnish with fruit slices such as peach or orange.

<p>Hello Everyone! I'm Ani Avedissian. Welcome to Metaphysical Martini. 3 parts spirit. 1 part rational mind. Add 2 drops of optimism. Give it all good, hard shake and pour.</p>
<p>Dress it with the olives of grace and empathy. Sit back, sip slowly and contemplate the wonder of cosmic co-creation. <br /> <br />Join me, Ani Avedissian, to find out what's true...what's woo...and what gets flushed down the loo in today's poorly educated, highly opinionated, dysfunctional little world.</p>
<p>Our goal is to "Let the Spirit Inhabit the Human," but be warned - this show is politically incorrect because we do not wish to erode our intellect. If you are easily offended, this show is not for you. If, on the other hand, you are a sovereign soul with a sense of humor and capacity for objectivity, then welcome aboard!</p>
<p>TODAY'S REAL LIFE COCKTAIL:</p>
<p>Gold Rush Cocktail</p>
<p>1 1/2 ounces bourbon<br />1 ounce ginger liqueur<br />1/2 ounce fresh lemon juice</p>
<p><br />Combine all ingredients in a shaker with cracked ice and shake hard, at least 30 seconds, until drink is well chilled.<br />Strain and pour into a lowball glass filled with ice.</p>
<p>*Drink less tip: This drink can be topped up with cold club soda for a longer, more refreshing experience.</p>
<p>Enjoy!</p>

Hello Everyone! I'm Ani Avedissian. Welcome to Metaphysical Martini. 3 parts spirit. 1 part rational mind. Add 2 drops of optimism. Give it all good, hard shake and pour.
Dress it with the olives of grace and empathy. Sit back, sip slowly and contemplate the wonder of cosmic co-creation.  Join me, Ani Avedissian, to find out what's true...what's woo...and what gets flushed down the loo in today's poorly educated, highly opinionated, dysfunctional little world.
Our goal is to "Let the Spirit Inhabit the Human," but be warned - this show is politically incorrect because we do not wish to erode our intellect. If you are easily offended, this show is not for you. If, on the other hand, you are a sovereign soul with a sense of humor and capacity for objectivity, then welcome aboard!

<p>Hello Everyone! I'm Ani Avedissian. Welcome to Metaphysical Martini. 3 parts spirit. 1 part rational mind. Add 2 drops of optimism. Give it all good, hard shake and pour.</p>
<p>Dress it with the olives of grace and empathy. Sit back, sip slowly and contemplate the wonder of cosmic co-creation. <br /> <br />Join me, Ani Avedissian, to find out what's true...what's woo...and what gets flushed down the loo in today's poorly educated, highly opinionated, dysfunctional little world.</p>
<p>Our goal is to "Let the Spirit Inhabit the Human," but be warned - this show is politically incorrect because we do not wish to erode our intellect. If you are easily offended, this show is not for you. If, on the other hand, you are a sovereign soul with a sense of humor and capacity for objectivity, then welcome aboard!</p>
<p>TODAY'S REAL LIFE COCKTAIL:<br />Island Vodka Sling</p>
<p>3 ounces of vodka <br />1 ounce brandy <br />1 ounce fresh lemon juice<br />1 ounce fresh orange juice<br />3 drops bitters, angostura<br />Club soda<br />Orange slice for dressing</p>
<p>Fill a shaker with cracked ice and add all the liquid ingredients except club soda.<br />Give it a good, hard shake.<br />Strain and pour 3/4 high into a highball filled with ice.<br />Quick stir, top up with club soda.<br />Dress with a fresh or candied orange slice - or whatever you darn well please. America is a free country!</p>
<p>Enjoy!</p>

<p>Hello Everyone! I'm Ani Avedissian. Welcome to Metaphysical Martini. 3 parts spirit. 1 part rational mind. Add 2 drops of optimism. Give it all good, hard shake and pour.</p>
<p>Dress it with the olives of grace and empathy. Sit back, sip slowly and contemplate the wonder of cosmic co-creation. <br /> <br />Join me, Ani Avedissian, to find out what's true...what's woo...and what gets flushed down the loo in today's poorly educated, highly opinionated, dysfunctional little world.</p>
<p>Our goal is to "Let the Spirit Inhabit the Human," but be warned - this show is politically incorrect because we do not wish to erode our intellect. If you are easily offended, this show is not for you. If, on the other hand, you are a sovereign soul with a sense of humor and capacity for objectivity, then welcome aboard!</p>
<p>TODAY'S REAL LIFE COCKTAIL:<br />The Ladies Cocktail</p>
<p>1 1/2 ounces bourbon<br />2 dashes Pernod<br />3 dashes Anisette<br />2 dashes Angostura Bitters</p>
<p>Pour liquids into a shaker with cracked ice and stir - not shake<br />Strain and pour into your favorite cocktail glass and dress with a slice of pineapple.</p>
<p>It sounds like a weird combo but is typical of vintage Trader Vic's type cocktails and I quite liked it. Try using a candied pineapple for dressing - nice!</p>
<p>Enjoy!</p>

<p>Hello Everyone! I'm Ani Avedissian. Welcome to Metaphysical Martini. 3 parts spirit. 1 part rational mind. Add 2 drops of optimism. Give it all good, hard shake and pour.</p>
<p>Dress it with the olives of grace and empathy. Sit back, sip slowly and contemplate the wonder of cosmic co-creation. <br /> <br />Join me, Ani Avedissian, to find out what's true...what's woo...and what gets flushed down the loo in today's poorly educated, highly opinionated, dysfunctional little world.</p>
<p>Our goal is to "Let the Spirit Inhabit the Human," but be warned - this show is politically incorrect because we do not wish to erode our intellect. If you are easily offended, this show is not for you. If, on the other hand, you are a sovereign soul with a sense of humor and capacity for objectivity, then welcome aboard!</p>
<p>TODAY'S REAL LIFE COCKTAIL:<br />Classic Champagne Cocktail</p>
<p>1 sugar cube<br />dash of bitters<br />1 ounce brandy<br />4-6 ounces good champagne<br />Luxardo cherry and your choice of additional dressing</p>
<p>Place the sugar cube in the bottom of a champagne flute<br />Saturate it with the bitters<br />add the brandy<br />top up with champagne<br />add cherry or preferred dressing<br />sip slowly</p>

This one is for two people or a double whammy for one.
Before you start, wet and dip both martini glasses in crushed candy canes or another type of colorful sugar sprinkle.
5 ounces vanilla vodka2 ounces white creme de menthe1/2 ounce peppermint schnapps
Pour liquids into a cocktail shaker with cracked ice and hard shake for approx. 30 seconds.

Hello Everyone! I'm Ani Avedissian. Welcome to Metaphysical Martini. 3 parts spirit. 1 part rational mind. Add 2 drops of optimism. Give it all good, hard shake and pour.
Dress it with the olives of grace and empathy. Sit back, sip slowly and contemplate the wonder of cosmic co-creation.  Join me, Ani Avedissian, to find out what's true...what's woo...and what gets flushed down the loo in today's poorly educated, highly opinionated, dysfunctional little world.
Our goal is to "Let the Spirit Inhabit the Human," but be warned - this show is politically incorrect because we do not wish to erode our intellect. If you are easily offended, this show is not for you. If, on the other hand, you are a sovereign soul with a sense of humor and capacity for objectivity, then welcome aboard!

Hello Everyone! I'm Ani Avedissian. Welcome to Metaphysical Martini. 3 parts spirit. 1 part rational mind. Add 2 drops of optimism. Give it all good, hard shake and pour.
Dress it with the olives of grace and empathy. Sit back, sip slowly and contemplate the wonder of cosmic co-creation.  Join me, Ani Avedissian, to find out what's true...what's woo...and what gets flushed down the loo in today's poorly educated, highly opinionated, dysfunctional little world.
Our goal is to "Let the Spirit Inhabit the Human," but be warned - this show is politically incorrect because we do not wish to erode our intellect. If you are easily offended, this show is not for you. If, on the other hand, you are a sovereign soul with a sense of humor and capacity for objectivity, then welcome aboard!

INGREDIENTS2 ounces good bourbon1/2 cup maple simple syrup
Hard shake over cracked iceAdd a dash of orange bitters and a dash of Angostura Bitters and stirPour into your favorite whisky glass

Hello Everyone! I'm Ani Avedissian. Welcome to Metaphysical Martini. 3 parts spirit. 1 part rational mind. Add 2 drops of optimism. Give it all good, hard shake and pour.
Dress it with the olives of grace and empathy. Sit back, sip slowly and contemplate the wonder of cosmic co-creation.  Join me, Ani Avedissian, to find out what's true...what's woo...and what gets flushed down the loo in today's poorly educated, highly opinionated, dysfunctional little world.
Our goal is to "Let the Spirit Inhabit the Human," but be warned - this show is politically incorrect because we do not wish to erode our intellect. If you are easily offended, this show is not for you. If, on the other hand, you are a sovereign soul with a sense of humor and capacity for objectivity, then welcome aboard!
TODAY'S REAL LIFE COCKTAIL:The Widow's Kiss
½ ounce Yellow Chartreuse½ ounce Benedictine1 ounce Apple Brandy1 Dash Bitters
Pour into a shaker with cracked ice. Shake well and strain and pour into your favorite 3 ounce cocktail glass.Back in Mr. Boston’s Day, this cocktail was dressed with a strawberry. I served it up with a slice of toffee apple and that was fun, but I am open to your suggestions.
Enjoy!

Hello Everyone! I'm Ani Avedissian. Welcome to Metaphysical Martini. 3 parts spirit. 1 part rational mind. Add 2 drops of optimism. Give it all good, hard shake and pour.
Dress it with the olives of grace and empathy. Sit back, sip slowly and contemplate the wonder of cosmic co-creation.  Join me, Ani Avedissian, to find out what's true...what's woo...and what gets flushed down the loo in today's poorly educated, highly opinionated, dysfunctional little world.
Our goal is to "Let the Spirit Inhabit the Human," but be warned - this show is politically incorrect because we do not wish to erode our intellect. If you are easily offended, this show is not for you. If, on the other hand, you are a sovereign soul with a sense of humor and capacity for objectivity, then welcome aboard!

Hello Everyone! I'm Ani Avedissian. Welcome to Metaphysical Martini. 3 parts spirit. 1 part rational mind. Add 2 drops of optimism. Give it all good, hard shake and pour.
Dress it with the olives of grace and empathy. Sit back, sip slowly and contemplate the wonder of cosmic co-creation.  Join me, Ani Avedissian, to find out what's true...what's woo...and what gets flushed down the loo in today's poorly educated, highly opinionated, dysfunctional little world.
Our goal is to "Let the Spirit Inhabit the Human," but be warned - this show is politically incorrect because we do not wish to erode our intellect. If you are easily offended, this show is not for you. If, on the other hand, you are a sovereign soul with a sense of humor and capacity for objectivity, then welcome aboard!
TODAY'S REAL LIFE COCKTAIL:
Restore the Republic!
1 1/2 ounce Bulleit Bourbon (in honor of our bullet proof president)1/2 ounce Amaro1/2 ounce lemon juice1/2 ounce simple syrup1 rosemary sprig for garnish (and banishing demons)
Put all liquid ingredients into a shaker filled with cracked ice and shake very wellStrain into a cocktail glass filled with cracked iceGarnish with rosemary sprig
Chant your Demon Be Gone! incantation.

<p>Hello Everyone! I'm Ani Avedissian. Welcome to Metaphysical Martini. 3 parts spirit. 1 part rational mind. Add 2 drops of optimism. Give it all good, hard shake and pour.</p>
<p>Dress it with the olives of grace and empathy. Sit back, sip slowly and contemplate the wonder of cosmic co-creation. <br /> <br />Join me, Ani Avedissian, to find out what's true...what's woo...and what gets flushed down the loo in today's poorly educated, highly opinionated, dysfunctional little world.</p>
<p>Our goal is to "Let the Spirit Inhabit the Human," but be warned - this show is politically incorrect because we do not wish to erode our intellect. If you are easily offended, this show is not for you. If, on the other hand, you are a sovereign soul with a sense of humor and capacity for objectivity, then welcome aboard!</p>
<p>TODAY'S REAL LIFE COCKTAIL:<br />Bulldog Smash</p>
<p>2 ounces Bourbon<br />3/4 ounces Cointreau<br />1/2 ripe, pitted peach<br />1/2 a lemon<br />1 tsp sugar cane syrup<br />6-8 mint leaves</p>
<p>Muddle the peach, lemon, mint and syrup. Add Bourbon and Cointreau. Give it a stir.<br />Strain and pour over crushed ice.<br />No dressing required. You can drink this naked.</p>
<p>Enjoy!</p>

<p>Hello Everyone! I'm Ani Avedissian. Welcome to Metaphysical Martini. 3 parts spirit. 1 part rational mind. Add 2 drops of optimism. Give it all good, hard shake and pour.</p>
<p>Dress it with the olives of grace and empathy. Sit back, sip slowly and contemplate the wonder of cosmic co-creation. <br /> <br />Join me, Ani Avedissian, to find out what's true...what's woo...and what gets flushed down the loo in today's poorly educated, highly opinionated, dysfunctional little world.</p>
<p>Our goal is to "Let the Spirit Inhabit the Human," but be warned - this show is politically incorrect because we do not wish to erode our intellect. If you are easily offended, this show is not for you. If, on the other hand, you are a sovereign soul with a sense of humor and capacity for objectivity, then welcome aboard!</p>
<p>TODAY'S REAL LIFE COCKTAIL:<br />Fresno Firefly</p>
<p>2 ounces good silver tequila<br />3/4 ounce Cointreau<br />1 ounce fresh squeezed lime juice<br />4 ounces or more Modelo Especial beer or good Mexican beer<br />Garnish with slice of lime</p>
<p>Prepare a chilled tall glass by rimming with salt or Tajin<br />In a shaker filled with cracked ice, add the teqila, lime juice and Countreau.<br />Hard shake<br />Strain and pour into prepared chilled glass<br />Top up with the beer<br />Dress with lime wheel</p>
<p>A perfect Summer drinkypoo :-)</p>
<p>Enjoy!</p>

<div>Hey Peeps!  </div>
<div>I make podcasts and videos on my own dime to promote social awareness, to encourage We the Peeps to share ideas and opinions.  Without open, civil discussion, we cannot build a better world. Unless we are willing to entertain alternative points of view and have the guts to change our minds when presented with new information, we cannot enter the new golden age of reason. We need space to share, to declare and above all, we need to relearn the importance of discussion for the sake of evolution, not for the sake of winning an argument. </div>

                    <![CDATA[Ani chats with RFK's Children's Health Defense People's Bus Tour.
 
Hello Everyone!  I'm Ani Avedissian.  Welcome to Metaphysical Martini.  3 parts spirit.  1 part rational mind.  Add 2 drops of optimism.  Give it all good, hard shake and pour.
 
Dress it with the olives of grace and empathy.  Sit back, sip slowly and contemplate the wonder of cosmic co-creation. 
 
Join me, Ani Avedissian, to find out what's true...what's woo...and what gets flushed down the loo in today's poorly educated, highly opinionated, dysfunctional little world.
 
Our goal is to "Let the Spirit Inhabit the Human," but be warned - this show is politically incorrect because we do not wish to erode our intellect.  If you are easily offended, this show is not for you.  If, on the other hand, you are a sovereign soul with a sense of humor and capacity for objectivity, then welcome aboard!
 
TODAY'S REAL LIFE COCKTAIL:
Barbed Wire Tini
 
1 ounce good vodka
1 teaspoon sweet vermouth
1/2 teaspoon Pernod
1/2 teaspoon Chambord
Lemon twist for garnish
 
Put all the liquids in a shaker with cracked ice.
Strain and pour into a chilled martini glass
Dress with lemon twist
 
Enjoy!

<div>Hey Peeps!  </div>
<div>I make podcasts and videos on my own dime to promote social awareness, to encourage We the Peeps to share ideas and opinions.  Without open, civil discussion, we cannot build a better world. Unless we are willing to entertain alternative points of view and have the guts to change our minds when presented with new information, we cannot enter the new golden age of reason. We need space to share, to declare and above all, we need to relearn the importance of discussion for the sake of evolution, not for the sake of winning an argument. </div>

                    <![CDATA[To thine own self be true - or flush your life down the loo.
 
Hello Everyone!  I'm Ani Avedissian.  Welcome to Metaphysical Martini.  3 parts spirit.  1 part rational mind.  Add 2 drops of optimism.  Give it all good, hard shake and pour.
 
Dress it with the olives of grace and empathy.  Sit back, sip slowly and contemplate the wonder of cosmic co-creation. 
 
Join me, Ani Avedissian, to find out what's true...what's woo...and what gets flushed down the loo in today's poorly educated, highly opinionated, dysfunctional little world.
 
Our goal is to "Let the Spirit Inhabit the Human," but be warned - this show is politically incorrect because we do not wish to erode our intellect.  If you are easily offended, this show is not for you.  If, on the other hand, you are a sovereign soul with a sense of humor and capacity for objectivity, then welcome aboard!
 
TODAY'S REAL LIFE COCKTAIL:
Black Hawk
 
1 ¼ ounces whiskey, bourbon or rye: I’m using Wild Turkey 101
1 ¼ ounces Sloe Gin: I'm using 1881 Sloe Gin because I like the fruity warm feeling it gives me. 
Pour liquids into a shaker with cracked ice.
Stir well and strain and pour into your favorite 3 ounce cocktail glass.

Dress it with the olives of grace and empathy. Sit back, sip slowly and contemplate the wonder of cosmic co-creation.  Join me, Ani Avedissian, to find out what's true...what's woo...and what gets flushed down the loo in today's poorly educated, highly opinionated, dysfunctional little world.
Our goal is to "Let the Spirit Inhabit the Human," but be warned - this show is politically incorrect because we do not wish to erode our intellect. If you are easily offended, this show is not for you. If, on the other hand, you are a sovereign soul with a sense of humor and capacity for objectivity, then welcome aboard!
TODAY'S REAL LIFE COCKTAIL:
Classic Benedictine
2 ounces blended scotch 1 ounce Benedictine LiqueurQ Ginger Ale
Fill a mixing glass or shaker with iceAdd the scotch and Benedictine.Stir...do NOT shake.Pour into a highball glass but do not strain.Top off with Q ginger ale.
I like to pour mine over one large ice sphere. Some say that is sacrilege but I do my own thing...always.
Enjoy!

Unless we are willing to entertain alternative points of view and have the guts to change our minds when presented with new information, we cannot enter the new golden age of reason. We need space to share, to declare and above all, we need to relearn the importance of discussion for the sake of evolution, not for the sake of winning an argument.

<div>Hey Peeps!  </div>
<div>I make podcasts and videos on my own dime to promote social awareness, to encourage We the Peeps to share ideas and opinions.  Without open, civil discussion, we cannot build a better world. Unless we are willing to entertain alternative points of view and have the guts to change our minds when presented with new information, we cannot enter the new golden age of reason. We need space to share, to declare and above all, we need to relearn the importance of discussion for the sake of evolution, not for the sake of winning an argument. </div>

                    <![CDATA[You keep asking me that? How do YOU want it to end?
 
Hello Everyone!  I'm Ani Avedissian.  Welcome to Metaphysical Martini.  3 parts spirit.  1 part rational mind.  Add 2 drops of optimism.  Give it all good, hard shake and pour.
 
Dress it with the olives of grace and empathy.  Sit back, sip slowly and contemplate the wonder of cosmic co-creation. 
 
Join me, Ani Avedissian, to find out what's true...what's woo...and what gets flushed down the loo in today's poorly educated, highly opinionated, dysfunctional little world.
 
Our goal is to "Let the Spirit Inhabit the Human," but be warned - this show is politically incorrect because we do not wish to erode our intellect.  If you are easily offended, this show is not for you.  If, on the other hand, you are a sovereign soul with a sense of humor and capacity for objectivity, then welcome aboard!
 
TODAY'S REAL LIFE COCKTAIL:
 
Sherry Martini
 
• 2 tablespoons Lillet Blanc
• ¼ cup vodka   
• 3 tablespoons amontillada sherry
• Dash of angostura bitters
• Orange peel, for serving
• Shake first 4 ingredients in an ice-filled cocktail shaker. Strain into a martini glass; garnish with orange peel. Serve immediately.
 
Enjoy!

Hey Peeps!  
I make podcasts and videos on my own dime to promote social awareness, to encourage We the Peeps to share ideas and opinions.  Without open, civil discussion, we cannot build a better world. Unless we are willing to entertain alternative points of view and have the guts to change our minds when presented with new information, we cannot enter the new golden age of reason. We need space to share, to declare and above all, we need to relearn the importance of discussion for the sake of evolution, not for the sake of winning an argument.

                    <![CDATA[How do you heal an illusion?
 
Hello Everyone!  I'm Ani Avedissian.  Welcome to Metaphysical Martini.  3 parts spirit.  1 part rational mind.  Add 2 drops of optimism.  Give it all good, hard shake and pour.
 
Dress it with the olives of grace and empathy.  Sit back, sip slowly and contemplate the wonder of cosmic co-creation. 
 
Join me, Ani Avedissian, to find out what's true...what's woo...and what gets flushed down the loo in today's poorly educated, highly opinionated, dysfunctional little world.
 
Our goal is to "Let the Spirit Inhabit the Human," but be warned - this show is politically incorrect because we do not wish to erode our intellect.  If you are easily offended, this show is not for you.  If, on the other hand, you are a sovereign soul with a sense of humor and capacity for objectivity, then welcome aboard!
 
TODAY'S REAL LIFE COCKTAIL:
 
Poop Deck Cocktail
 
1 ounce Blackberry Brandy
1/2 ounce Port Wine
1/2 ounce Brandy
 
Pour into a shaker with cracked ice.
Stir vigorously
Strain and pour into chilled cocktail glass
 
Enjoy!

Hey Peeps!  
I make podcasts and videos on my own dime to promote social awareness, to encourage We the Peeps to share ideas and opinions.  Without open, civil discussion, we cannot build a better world. Unless we are willing to entertain alternative points of view and have the guts to change our minds when presented with new information, we cannot enter the new golden age of reason. We need space to share, to declare and above all, we need to relearn the importance of discussion for the sake of evolution, not for the sake of winning an argument.

Hey Peeps!  
I make podcasts and videos on my own dime to promote social awareness, to encourage We the Peeps to share ideas and opinions.  Without open, civil discussion, we cannot build a better world. Unless we are willing to entertain alternative points of view and have the guts to change our minds when presented with new information, we cannot enter the new golden age of reason. We need space to share, to declare and above all, we need to relearn the importance of discussion for the sake of evolution, not for the sake of winning an argument.

Our goal is to "Let the Spirit Inhabit the Human," but be warned - this show is politically incorrect because we do not wish to erode our intellect.  If you are easily offended, this show is not for you.  If, on the other hand, you are a sovereign soul with a sense of humor and capacity for objectivity, then welcome aboard!
 
TODAY'S REAL LIFE COCKTAIL:
 
One shot Four Roses Small Batch Bourbon
Chased with one pint Pelican Brewery Pilsner.
 
Enjoy!

Hey Peeps!  
I make podcasts and videos on my own dime to promote social awareness, to encourage We the Peeps to share ideas and opinions.  Without open, civil discussion, we cannot build a better world. Unless we are willing to entertain alternative points of view and have the guts to change our minds when presented with new information, we cannot enter the new golden age of reason. We need space to share, to declare and above all, we need to relearn the importance of discussion for the sake of evolution, not for the sake of winning an argument.

<div>I make podcasts and videos on my own dime to promote social awareness, to encourage We the Peeps to share ideas and opinions.  Without open, civil discussion, we cannot build a better world. Unless we are willing to entertain alternative points of view and have the guts to change our minds when presented with new information, we cannot enter the new golden age of reason. We need space to share, to declare and above all, we need to relearn the importance of discussion for the sake of evolution, not for the sake of winning an argument. </div>

Hello Everyone! I'm Ani Avedissian. Welcome to Metaphysical Martini. 3 parts spirit. 1 part rational mind. Add 2 drops of optimism. Give it all good, hard shake and pour.
Dress it with the olives of grace and empathy. Sit back, sip slowly and contemplate the wonder of cosmic co-creation.  Join me, Ani Avedissian, to find out what's true...what's woo...and what gets flushed down the loo in today's poorly educated, highly opinionated, dysfunctional little world.
Our goal is to "Let the Spirit Inhabit the Human," but be warned - this show is politically incorrect because we do not wish to erode our intellect. If you are easily offended, this show is not for you. If, on the other hand, you are a sovereign soul with a sense of humor and capacity for objectivity, then welcome aboard!
TODAY'S REAL LIFE COCKTAIL:
Boston Cocktail
3/4 ounce Dry Gin3/4 ounce Apricot BrandyJuice of 1/4 lemon1/4 ounce Grenadine
Pour into cocktail shaker over cracked ice. Shake well. Strain into a Nick and Nora glass.
Enjoy!

Without open, civil discussion, we cannot build a better world. Unless we are willing to entertain alternative points of view and have the guts to change our minds when presented with new information, we cannot enter the new golden age of reason. We need space to share, to declare and above all, we need to relearn the importance of discussion for the sake of evolution, not for the sake of winning an argument.

SUPPORT COSMIC ANIHey Peeps! I make podcasts and videos on my own dime to promote social awareness, to encourage We the Peeps to share ideas and opinions. Without open, civil discussion, we cannot build a better world. Unless we are willing to entertain alternative points of view and have the guts to change our minds when presented with new information, we cannot enter the new golden age of reason. We need space to share, to declare and above all, we need to relearn the importance of discussion for the sake of evolution, not for the sake of winning an argument.

<p>Hello Everyone! I'm Ani Avedissian. Welcome to Metaphysical Martini. 3 parts spirit. 1 part rational mind. Add 2 drops of optimism. Give it all good, hard shake and pour.</p>
<p>Dress it with the olives of grace and empathy. Sit back, sip slowly and contemplate the wonder of cosmic co-creation. <br /> <br />Join me, Ani Avedissian, to find out what's true...what's woo...and what gets flushed down the loo in today's poorly educated, highly opinionated, dysfunctional little world.</p>
<p>Our goal is to "Let the Spirit Inhabit the Human," but be warned - this show is politically incorrect because we do not wish to erode our intellect. If you are easily offended, this show is not for you. If, on the other hand, you are a sovereign soul with a sense of humor and capacity for objectivity, then welcome aboard!</p>

Without open, civil discussion, we cannot build a better world. Unless we are willing to entertain alternative points of view and have the guts to change our minds when presented with new information, we cannot enter the new golden age of reason. We need space to share, to declare and above all, we need to relearn the importance of discussion for the sake of evolution, not for the sake of winning an argument.

<p>TODAY'S REAL LIFE COCKTAIL:<br />Dark and Stormy</p>
<p>2 ounces dark rum<br />3 ounces ginger beer<br />1/2 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice, optional<br />Lime wedge, for garnish<br />Here’s how I make it. Highball glass with ice. I put the ginger beer in. I float the dark rum on top of the ginger beer. I squeeze some lime juice in and place a fresh lime wedge in the glass and I don’t mix it…I poke the ice to merge the colors and blend the flavors. It’s refreshing. And I love ginger beer so it’s a win win.</p>

<p>Dress it with the olives of grace and empathy. Sit back, sip slowly and contemplate the wonder of cosmic co-creation. <br /> <br />Join me, Ani Avedissian, to find out what's true...what's woo...and what gets flushed down the loo in today's poorly educated, highly opinionated, dysfunctional little world.</p>
<p>Our goal is to "Let the Spirit Inhabit the Human," but be warned - this show is politically incorrect because we do not wish to erode our intellect. If you are easily offended, this show is not for you. If, on the other hand, you are a sovereign soul with a sense of humor and capacity for objectivity, then welcome aboard!</p>

                    <![CDATA[<p>Hello Everyone! I'm Ani Avedissian. Welcome to Metaphysical Martini. 3 parts spirit. 1 part rational mind. Add 2 drops of optimism. Give it all good, hard shake and pour.</p>
<p>Dress it with the olives of grace and empathy. Sit back, sip slowly and contemplate the wonder of cosmic co-creation. <br /> <br />Join me, Ani Avedissian, to find out what's true...what's woo...and what gets flushed down the loo in today's poorly educated, highly opinionated, dysfunctional little world.</p>
<p>Our goal is to "Let the Spirit Inhabit the Human," but be warned - this show is politically incorrect because we do not wish to erode our intellect. If you are easily offended, this show is not for you. If, on the other hand, you are a sovereign soul with a sense of humor and capacity for objectivity, then welcome aboard!</p>
<p>TODAY'S REAL LIFE COCKTAIL:<br />Whispers of the Frost Cocktail</p>
<p>3/4 ounce Whisky<br />3/4 ounce Sherry Wine<br />3/4 ounce Port Wine<br />1 teaspoon Powdered Sugar</p>
<p>Hard shake ingredients with cracked ice<br />Strain into a 3 ounce cocktail glass<br />Dress with crystalized citrus peel...a nice touch</p>
<p>You will be surprised by this cocktail. Sometimes the oldies really are the best ones.</p>

Sit back, sip slowly and contemplate the wonder of cosmic co-creation. <br /> <br />Join me, Ani Avedissian, to find out what's true...what's woo...and what gets flushed down the loo in today's poorly educated, highly opinionated, dysfunctional little world.</p>
<p>Our goal is to "Let the Spirit Inhabit the Human," but be warned - this show is politically incorrect because we do not wish to erode our intellect. If you are easily offended, this show is not for you. If, on the other hand, you are a sovereign soul with a sense of humor and capacity for objectivity, then welcome aboard!</p>
<p>TODAY'S REAL LIFE COCKTAIL:<br />OMG! On this show, Ani sampled nine different types of whisky...and survived!</p>
<p>Enjoy! The sampling is toward the end of the show.</p>

<p>Dress it with the olives of grace and empathy. Sit back, sip slowly and contemplate the wonder of cosmic co-creation. <br /> <br />Join me, Ani Avedissian, to find out what's true...what's woo...and what gets flushed down the loo in today's poorly educated, highly opinionated, dysfunctional little world.</p>

If you are easily offended, this show is not for you. If, on the other hand, you are a sovereign soul with a sense of humor and capacity for objectivity, then welcome aboard!</p>
<p>TODAY'S REAL LIFE COCKTAIL:<br />The Bentley Cocktail</p>
<p>3/4 ounce Calvados or Applejack<br />3/4 ounce Dubonnet</p>
<p>Shake over cracked ice<br />Strain into martini glass</p>

<p>Dress it with the olives of grace and empathy. Sit back, sip slowly and contemplate the wonder of cosmic co-creation. <br /> <br />Join me, Ani Avedissian, to find out what's true...what's woo...and what gets flushed down the loo in today's poorly educated, highly opinionated, dysfunctional little world.</p>
<p>Our goal is to "Let the Spirit Inhabit the Human," but be warned - this show is politically incorrect because we do not wish to erode our intellect. If you are easily offended, this show is not for you. If, on the other hand, you are a sovereign soul with a sense of humor and capacity for objectivity, then welcome aboard!</p>
<p>TODAY'S REAL LIFE COCKTAIL:<br />Waikiki Martini</p>
<p>6 parts Pineapple Flavored Vodka<br />1 part Dry Vermouth<br />1 part Lillet Blanc<br />Pineapple for garnish</p>
<p>Place all liquid ingredients into a shaker filled with cracked ice<br />Hard shake<br />Pour into a chilled martini glass<br />Dress with fresh pineapple<br />Enjoy!</p>

<p>Dress it with the olives of grace and empathy. Sit back, sip slowly and contemplate the wonder of cosmic co-creation. <br /> <br />Join me, Ani Avedissian, to find out what's true...what's woo...and what gets flushed down the loo in today's poorly educated, highly opinionated, dysfunctional little world.</p>
<p>Our goal is to "Let the Spirit Inhabit the Human," but be warned - this show is politically incorrect because we do not wish to erode our intellect. If you are easily offended, this show is not for you. If, on the other hand, you are a sovereign soul with a sense of humor and capacity for objectivity, then welcome aboard!</p>
<p>TODAY'S REAL LIFE COCKTAIL:<br />The RAF Cocktail</p>
<p>2 ounces Applejack<br />1 ounce Apricot Brandy<br />Juice of 1/2 lemon<br />Hard shake over cracked ice<br />Pour into a lowball glass and serve on the rocks<br />Enjoy and wave to the Royal Air Force!</p>

Without open, civil discussion, we cannot build a better world. Unless we are willing to entertain alternative points of view and have the guts to change our minds when presented with new information, we cannot enter the new golden age of reason. We need space to share, to declare and above all, we need to relearn the importance of discussion for the sake of evolution, not for the sake of winning an argument.</p>

<p>Dress it with the olives of grace and empathy. Sit back, sip slowly and contemplate the wonder of cosmic co-creation. <br /> <br />Join me, Ani Avedissian, to find out what's true...what's woo...and what gets flushed down the loo in today's poorly educated, highly opinionated, dysfunctional little world.</p>
<p>Our goal is to "Let the Spirit Inhabit the Human," but be warned - this show is politically incorrect because we do not wish to erode our intellect. If you are easily offended, this show is not for you. If, on the other hand, you are a sovereign soul with a sense of humor and capacity for objectivity, then welcome aboard!</p>
<p>TODAY'S REAL LIFE COCKTAIL:<br />Is she still too nervous to drink and podcast? Give her time...she's so new to this.</p>

Without open, civil discussion, we cannot build a better world.

Dress it with the olives of grace and empathy. Sit back, sip slowly and contemplate the wonder of cosmic co-creation.  Join me, Ani Avedissian, to find out what's true...what's woo...and what gets flushed down the loo in today's poorly educated, highly opinionated, dysfunctional little world.
Our goal is to "Let the Spirit Inhabit the Human," but be warned - this show is politically incorrect because we do not wish to erode our intellect.

SUPPORT COSMIC ANIHey Peeps! I make podcasts and videos on my own dime to promote social awareness, to encourage We the Peeps to share ideas and opinions. Without open, civil discussion, we cannot build a better world. Unless we are willing to entertain alternative points of view and have the guts to change our minds when presented with new information, we cannot enter the new golden age of reason. We need space to share, to declare and above all, we need to relearn the importance of discussion for the sake of evolution, not for the sake of winning an argument.

Dress it with the olives of grace and empathy. Sit back, sip slowly and contemplate the wonder of cosmic co-creation.  Join me, Ani Avedissian, to find out what's true...what's woo...and what gets flushed down the loo in today's poorly educated, highly opinionated, dysfunctional little world.

<p>Dress it with the olives of grace and empathy. Sit back, sip slowly and contemplate the wonder of cosmic co-creation. <br /> <br />Join me, Ani Avedissian, to find out what's true...what's woo...and what gets flushed down the loo in today's poorly educated, highly opinionated, dysfunctional little world.</p>
<p>Our goal is to "Let the Spirit Inhabit the Human," but be warned - this show is politically incorrect because we do not wish to erode our intellect. If you are easily offended, this show is not for you. If, on the other hand, you are a sovereign soul with a sense of humor and capacity for objectivity, then welcome aboard!</p>

<p>Dress it with the olives of grace and empathy. Sit back, sip slowly and contemplate the wonder of cosmic co-creation. <br /> <br />Join me, Ani Avedissian, to find out what's true...what's woo...and what gets flushed down the loo in today's poorly educated, highly opinionated, dysfunctional little world.</p>
<p>Our goal is to "Let the Spirit Inhabit the Human," but be warned - this show is politically incorrect because we do not wish to erode our intellect.

Without open, civil discussion, we cannot build a better world. Unless we are willing to entertain alternative points of view and have the guts to change our minds when presented with new information, we cannot enter the new golden age of reason.

                    <![CDATA[Hello Everyone! I'm Ani Avedissian. Welcome to Metaphysical Martini. 3 parts spirit. 1 part rational mind. Add 2 drops of optimism. Give it all good, hard shake and pour.
Dress it with the olives of grace and empathy. Sit back, sip slowly and contemplate the wonder of cosmic co-creation.  Join me, Ani Avedissian, to find out what's true...what's woo...and what gets flushed down the loo in today's poorly educated, highly opinionated, dysfunctional little world.
Our goal is to "Let the Spirit Inhabit the Human," but be warned - this show is politically incorrect because we do not wish to erode our intellect. If you are easily offended, this show is not for you. If, on the other hand, you are a sovereign soul with a sense of humor and capacity for objectivity, then welcome aboard!

                    <![CDATA[Hello Everyone! I'm Ani Avedissian. Welcome to Metaphysical Martini. 3 parts spirit. 1 part rational mind. Add 2 drops of optimism. Give it all good, hard shake and pour.
Dress it with the olives of grace and empathy. Sit back, sip slowly and contemplate the wonder of cosmic co-creation.  Join me, Ani Avedissian, to find out what's true...what's woo...and what gets flushed down the loo in today's poorly educated, highly opinionated, dysfunctional little world.
Our goal is to "Let the Spirit Inhabit the Human," but be warned - this show is politically incorrect because we do not wish to erode our intellect. If you are easily offended, this show is not for you. If, on the other hand, you are a sovereign soul with a sense of humor and capacity for objectivity, then welcome aboard!
TODAY'S REAL LIFE COCKTAIL:Blood and Sand

SUPPORT COSMIC ANIHey Peeps! I make podcasts and videos on my own dime to promote social awareness, to encourage We the Peeps to share ideas and opinions. Without open, civil discussion, we cannot build a better world. Unless we are willing to entertain alternative points of view and have the guts to change our minds when presented with new information, we cannot enter the new golden age of reason. We need space to share, to declare and above all, we need to relearn the importance of discussion for the sake of evolution, not for the sake of winning an argument.

                    <![CDATA[Hello Everyone! I'm Ani Avedissian. Welcome to Metaphysical Martini. 3 parts spirit. 1 part rational mind. Add 2 drops of optimism. Give it all good, hard shake and pour.
Dress it with the olives of grace and empathy. Sit back, sip slowly and contemplate the wonder of cosmic co-creation.  Join me, Ani Avedissian, to find out what's true...what's woo...and what gets flushed down the loo in today's poorly educated, highly opinionated, dysfunctional little world.
Our goal is to "Let the Spirit Inhabit the Human," but be warned - this show is politically incorrect because we do not wish to erode our intellect. If you are easily offended, this show is not for you. If, on the other hand, you are a sovereign soul with a sense of humor and capacity for objectivity, then welcome aboard!

SUPPORT COSMIC ANIHey Peeps! I make podcasts and videos on my own dime to promote social awareness, to encourage We the Peeps to share ideas and opinions. Without open, civil discussion, we cannot build a better world. Unless we are willing to entertain alternative points of view and have the guts to change our minds when presented with new information, we cannot enter the new golden age of reason. We need space to share, to declare and above all, we need to relearn the importance of discussion for the sake of evolution, not for the sake of winning an argument.

Our goal is to "Let the Spirit Inhabit the Human," but be warned - this show is politically incorrect because we do not wish to erode our intellect. If you are easily offended, this show is not for you. If, on the other hand, you are a sovereign soul with a sense of humor and capacity for objectivity, then welcome aboard!

Without open, civil discussion, we cannot build a better world. Unless we are willing to entertain alternative points of view and have the guts to change our minds when presented with new information, we cannot enter the new golden age of reason. We need space to share, to declare and above all, we need to relearn the importance of discussion for the sake of evolution, not for the sake of winning an argument.

Dress it with the olives of grace and empathy. Sit back, sip slowly and contemplate the wonder of cosmic co-creation.  Join me, Ani Avedissian, to find out what's true...what's woo...and what gets flushed down the loo in today's poorly educated, highly opinionated, dysfunctional little world.
Our goal is to "Let the Spirit Inhabit the Human," but be warned - this show is politically incorrect because we do not wish to erode our intellect. If you are easily offended, this show is not for you. If, on the other hand, you are a sovereign soul with a sense of humor and capacity for objectivity, then welcome aboard!

Without open, civil discussion, we cannot build a better world. Unless we are willing to entertain alternative points of view and have the guts to change our minds when presented with new information, we cannot enter the new golden age of reason. We need space to share, to declare and above all, we need to relearn the importance of discussion for the sake of evolution, not for the sake of winning an argument.

Our goal is to "Let the Spirit Inhabit the Human," but be warned - this show is politically incorrect because we do not wish to erode our intellect. If you are easily offended, this show is not for you. If, on the other hand, you are a sovereign soul with a sense of humor and capacity for objectivity, then welcome aboard!

Without open, civil discussion, we cannot build a better world. Unless we are willing to entertain alternative points of view and have the guts to change our minds when presented with new information, we cannot enter the new golden age of reason. We need space to share, to declare and above all, we need to relearn the importance of discussion for the sake of evolution, not for the sake of winning an argument.

Without open, civil discussion, we cannot build a better world. Unless we are willing to entertain alternative points of view and have the guts to change our minds when presented with new information, we cannot enter the new golden age of reason. We need space to share, to declare and above all, we need to relearn the importance of discussion for the sake of evolution, not for the sake of winning an argument.

                    <![CDATA[<p>Hello Everyone! I'm Ani Avedissian. Welcome to Metaphysical Martini. 3 parts spirit. 1 part rational mind. Add 2 drops of optimism. Give it all good, hard shake and pour.</p>
<p>Dress it with the olives of grace and empathy. Sit back, sip slowly and contemplate the wonder of cosmic co-creation. <br /> <br />Join me, Ani Avedissian, to find out what's true...what's woo...and what gets flushed down the loo in today's poorly educated, highly opinionated, dysfunctional little world.</p>
<p>Our goal is to "Let the Spirit Inhabit the Human," but be warned - this show is politically incorrect because we do not wish to erode our intellect. If you are easily offended, this show is not for you. If, on the other hand, you are a sovereign soul with a sense of humor and capacity for objectivity, then welcome aboard!</p>
<p>TODAY'S REAL LIFE COCKTAIL:<br />Zonked Out Zombie</p>
<p>1 ounce white rum<br />1 ounce golden rum<br />1 ounce dark rum<br />1 teaspoon lemon juice<br />1 teaspoon orange juice<br />1 teaspoon grapefruit juice<br />2 Drops Angostura Bitters<br />I tablespoon brown sugar</p>
<p>Pour all liquids into a glass container.<br />Add the brown sugar and muddle/mix to dissolve<br />Pour it all into a shaker with cracked ice<br />Hard shake<br />Pour into a chilled tall glass<br />Dress with fresh fruit or a candied twist<br />Enjoy!</p>
<p>There are many Zombie recipes. All are good. This one is a personal favorite. Adjust citrus juices to your preference. Add more rum. Experiment!</p>

Unless we are willing to entertain alternative points of view and have the guts to change our minds when presented with new information, we cannot enter the new golden age of reason. We need space to share, to declare and above all, we need to relearn the importance of discussion for the sake of evolution, not for the sake of winning an argument.

                    <![CDATA[<p>Hello Everyone! I'm Ani Avedissian. Welcome to Metaphysical Martini. 3 parts spirit. 1 part rational mind. Add 2 drops of optimism. Give it all good, hard shake and pour.</p>
<p>Dress it with the olives of grace and empathy. Sit back, sip slowly and contemplate the wonder of cosmic co-creation. <br /> <br />Join me, Ani Avedissian, to find out what's true...what's woo...and what gets flushed down the loo in today's poorly educated, highly opinionated, dysfunctional little world.</p>
<p>Our goal is to "Let the Spirit Inhabit the Human," but be warned - this show is politically incorrect because we do not wish to erode our intellect. If you are easily offended, this show is not for you. If, on the other hand, you are a sovereign soul with a sense of humor and capacity for objectivity, then welcome aboard!</p>
<p>TODAY'S REAL LIFE COCKTAIL:<br />Ani's Classic Bloody Mary for Monday Mornings</p>
<p>2 ounces Good Vodka<br />5 ounces Good Tomato Juice<br />2 dashes Lea and Perrins Worcestershire<br />1 dash Tabasco<br />Juice of 1/4 lemon<br />Black pepper fresh cracked<br />Celery stalk</p>
<p>I make this one right in the glass. Get a pint glass and put some rocks in it.<br />Add everything except the celery stalk.<br />Use the celery stalk to stir with vigor<br />Adjust flavor as needed<br />Enjoy!</p>
