The dailies are in and we’re watching Matilda! Our 51st episode and 3rd of the Robin Swicord run, we may not be telekinetic geniuses but we're doing our drunken best. Written by Robin and Nicholas Kazan, directed by Danny Devito, and starring Mara Wilson, Rhea Perlman, and Mr. Devito himself, this is a cult classic and a childhood favorite for Kate. Which naturally means Blake has a lot to say. So, pour yourself a Moby Drink and hit play — Brewvies is back!

Ingredients:

1 oz Vodka

1/2 oz Blue Curaçao

3 oz Lemon-lime unsweetened club soda (like La Croix)

1 Swedish gummy fish per drink

The dailies are in and we’re watching The Curious Case of Benjamin Button! Our 50th episode and second of the Robin Swicord run. We certainly aren't aging backwards (Blake has whole exercises just for his knee pain) so we've decided our advanced age is just even more reason for us to give our unsolicited opinions over a drink. So, pour yourself a Sazerac and hit play — Brewvies is back!

Sazerac

Ingredients:

• Absinthe
• 1 sugar cube
• 2 ½ oz Cognac or rye whiskey
• 3 dashes of Peychaud’s bitters
• Lemon twist

Instructions:

Rinse an old-fashioned glass with absinthe, discard, then fill the glass with crushed ice. Muddle the sugar cube with a few drops of water in another old-fashioned glass, and add a few large ice cubes.  Add in the cognac or rye, and bitters, and stir gently to combine.  Discard the ice in the first glass, then strain the cocktail into this prepared glass. Add a twist of lemon.
