Drink #020: Golden Dream, Digital Revolution
In this episode, we talk about the digital revolution! Anime for the last couple of years has started getting on board with the digital age, and this year we've seen manga start to do the same thing. The systems aren't perfect but steps in the right direction. We discuss different methods and what we like best plus give some suggestions about what we'd like to see in the future.
And now your helpful bartenders at The Speakeasy present your drink:
Golden Dream
3/4 oz cream
3/4 oz orange juice
3/4 oz Cointreau
3/4 oz Galliano
Pour the ingredients into a cocktail shaker with ice cubes. Shake well. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
