Drink #060: Even Steven
2014 Roundup

We end our 5th year of podcasting, as we usually do, with a look back on the anime and manga news of 2104. A year is always a hard thing to sum up with even 2 hours of discussion but we try our best to get something coherent from our experiences if nothing else. We also got questions from Twitter. Shocking!

There will be some format changes with the podcast starting next  year so if your curious you will have to wait until the end to see what they are.

And now your helpful bartenders at The Speakeasy present your drink:

Even Steven

  • 1/3 oz. Peppermint Schnapps
  • 1/3 oz. 80 proof vodka
  • 1/3 oz. Lime Juice
