It’s our most x-rated episode yet! This week, Movie Mixology makes the XYZ cocktail inspired by 2002’s “xXx.” Joined by special guest Riggs Brown, the hosts chat about video games, vlogging, and Vin Diesel’s catchy one-liners. Plus, Pat and Marissa make a special announcement you won’t want to miss. So, sit back (or, snowboard down a mountain) as you stream this week’s Xander-zone episode! 

XANDER: "You don't have shit on me."

GIBBONS: "I notice you have three Xs tattooed on the back of your neck. I think that's rather appropriate since you're looking at three-strikes. Grand theft auto, reckless endangerment, and that little bridge stunt of yours...makes you a three-time loser. Maybe you oughta call yourself 'Triple-X." But if you do what I want, I'll make all your little recent criminal transgressions go away and let you get back to that pathetic excuse of a life."

XANDER: "I think maybe I should be like you...get all shot up for those stars and stripes."

XYZ recipe

1.5oz of white rum (traditional) or spiced rum works just fine

1oz lemon juice

1oz triple-sec or orange liqueur

Lemon peel for garnish (optional)

Add rum, lemon juice and triple sec to a shaker with ice and shake

Strain into a chilled cocktail glass

Optionally garnish with a lemon peel
