Dad pulls out of the archives the Seltzer episode that Josh and Jordan did in May of 2022.  They did Fruit Smash Pink Lemonade seltzer from New Belgium, and they cracked open the Strawberry Guava Topo Chico hard seltzer.  They discuss these seltzers and the flavor profiles.  Josh brings up how much he likes Sunboy Spiked Coconut water Seltzers.  This gave Dad the idea to revisit Sunboy since he had a recent trip to North Carolina where he bought a 12 pack of Sunboy and actually met one of the co-founders Yair Tygiel.  Listen to him telling the story and sipping on a Pineapple Sunboy.  Cheers! 

With Spring in the air and with some days even warmer than that, Josh and Dad are thinking Spring Cocktails.  Dad brings the Miami Vice; A frozen concoction of half Pina Colada and half Strawberry Daiquiri.  Josh as always thinks outside the box. He has a Peach mint Pisco Sour. Josh's recipe is 2 oz. Pisco, 1 oz lime juice, 3/4 oz peach syrup, with muddled mint leaves and an egg white.  Do a dry shake followed by a wet shake and double strain into a coop glass.  Cheers!Dad's recipe for his uses Pina Colada using Coco lopez to make it extra creamy.  His Strawberry Daiquiri is a standard build. Cheers!
