The boys mix up a Whiskey Sour with a serious kick - strong enough to have Alan and Lee talking like Cher, while Lee reminisces about his time as an elf in Lapland and gets unexpectedly emotional over the Northern Lights. There’s also some big news… Alan’s buying a castle! He can’t wait to move in, but after a recent cleanliness intervention from a friend, he’s slightly concerned about keeping the place in order. Lee starts to wonder if this is all part of a midlife crisis - especially as Alan’s also preparing to jump out of a plane on a skydive. Plus, this week’s dilemma sees the boys choosing the perfect white wine for a listener’s DIY wedding. And Sunday Brunch’s Home Cocktail Queen, Portia Freeman, brings along her own creation: a White Brine Spritz with a gherkin garnish. Drinks featured in this episode are: * Floki Sheep-Dung Smoked Whisky Sour * Canaletto Pinot Grigio * The Ned Sauvignon Blanc (Marlborough) * Beronia Rueda Verdejo * Portia’s White Brine Spritz Drink responsibly, and as always… Bottoms Up!
