Ollie is drinking a modified Broken Mirror (1 part each Absente absinthe, lime, sugar-water). Check out our set ups on twitter: Cyna - Ollie.
Intro theme - "Let It In" by Josh Woodward.

Backlist: A new season and a new author! Cate Tiernan's SWEEP series begins with BOOK OF SHADOWS (not that the titles mean absolutely anything, again) published January 2001!

Chill: Drinking! Cyna is drinking a variation on a Witches Blood that she's calling a Blood Witch (tart cherry juice, vodka, orange juice, lime juice, and Sprite). Ollie is drinking cousin of babywine (Wildvine's blackberry merlot). Check out our set ups on twitter: Cyna - Ollie.
