    This isn't the end! Or is it? Our die hard fans argue if this current rough patch is the just low point of the season or the beginning of the end. If it is the, what can a Giant's fan do to salvage their enjoyment of the season? Also, Bailey and Murphy are hurt, the pitching and defense falters and Mason Black debuts.

    On the cocktail side of things Ben is drinking a Lone Ranger while Matthew is drinking a Santa Margarita. Recipes below.

    Lone Ranger

    • 1 1/2 oz Tequila Blanco
    • 1 oz Lemon Juice
    • 1/2 oz Rich Simple Syrup
    • 2-4 oz Sparkling Rose Wine

    Combine the tequila, lemon juice and rich simple syrup in a shaker with ice. Shake until chilled. Strain into a highball. Add your ice. Slowly pour in sparkling rose to preserve bubbles.

    Santa Margarita

    • 2 oz Blanco Tequila
    • 1 oz Lime Juice
    • 1/2 oz Benedictine
    • Barspoon or two of Agave Syrup (optional)

  • Free Mason Black!
    May 2 2024

    Let him mix! Or is it cook? We're really not good with this Gen Z slang. The point is WHERE IS MASON BLACK AND WHY WASN'T IT BOSTON! The brothers calmly and rationally discuss why Mason Black didn't get the ball on Wednesday. Then ruthlessly say who they would cut to make room for Mr. Black. Oh, also, someone has a mustache and Ben gets embarrassed.

    On the cocktail side of things Ben is drinking a Between the Sheets and Matthew is drinking a Free Mason Black!

    Between the Sheets

    • 3/4 oz White Rum
    • 3/4 oz Congac
    • 3/4 oz Cointreau
    • 3/4 oz Lemon Juice

    Add all ingredients into a shaker with ice. Shake until chilled. Strain into a coupe glass.

    Free Mason Black

    • 1.5 oz Rye Whiskey
    • 3/4 oz Mr. Black Coffee Liqueur
    • 1/2 oz Sweet Vermouth
    • 1/4 oz Maple Syrup
    • 1 dash Orange Bitters
    • 2 dashes Chocolate Bitters
    • Orange peel for garnish

    Put all of the ingredients except the garnish into a mixing glass with ice. Stir quickly for about 30 seconds. Strain into a rocks glass with fresh ice. Express the oils from the orange peel over the glass and drop into glass.

    The season is already a month old, so the brothers are taking the time to reflect and give out the coveted Giant Cocktails Awards: MVPS! Unsung Heroes! Future Most Improved! (They sucked, might be called the Blake Snell award.)

Come for the SF Giants & stay for the Cocktails.

Let's be honest, the SF Giants aren't always a fun watch, but Matthew and Ben do a great job of make listening about the Giants entertaining. Add in weekly homemade cocktails recipes and I'm hooked...and buzzed.
