Join the Whiskey Bench as they continue the Ukraine series. Last episode left off at the 2004 orange revolution, and today, the Bench fast forwards to cover the short and wild Maidan Revolution that occurred in 2014. In this episode Kat and Stephen dive into a timeline of events including NGO involvement, US government involvement, Neo-Nazis fighting in the revolution, and much more. Grab yourself a cocktail and get ready!
Molotov Cocktail (Torna original)
1 1/2 oz vodka
1/2 oz fire ball
1/4 oz curacao
1 oz lemon juice
Add all the ingredients into a shaker with ice. SHAKE, SHAKE, SHAKE. Strain into desired glass and proceed (using the backside of a barspoon) to gently pour a high proof liquor like Everclear or 141 rum. This will result in a layer of liquor to "float" on the surface. Grab a lighter or a match and set it ablaze. Watch it burn, and blow out the flame before you drink.
Remember, always drink responsibly and cheers to a fulfilled life with all its beauty!

What is Whiskey Bench?
Welcome to the Whiskey Bench, where we pair cocktails with conversation. Whether we’re diving deep into a meaty subject like the history of fascism or why monetary policy drives inflation, or just bringing you the highlights of a crazy news week, we aim to look past the simple answers and discuss the complexity of our wild world. So pull up a chair, pour yourself a drink, and join us on the Whiskey Bench.
