Do you fret about the future of America? Are you embarrassed for tomorrow’s televised disaster billed as a “presidential debate”? The Dispatch is here for you. Fact-checker and upstart mixologist Alex Demas invited Peter Suderman, editor at Reason Magazine and cocktail connoisseur, to cook up a menu of drinks strong and delicious enough to drown the bitterness of our political moment.
If you successfully make one of these cocktails, take a photo and tweet at us! We can be found @TheDispatch.

— Peter’s cocktail origin story
— Balancing a drink
— Surviving the cocktail dark ages
— The Menu: Cheapfake, Build Back Wetter, and The Illiberal

Show notes:
