It’s been a long lonely, lonely, lonely time since we originally released NOCTURNAL (as in 13 years!), and we forgot all about the oh-so-bloody epilogue. So here it is, in its red-stained glory. Loopholes closed, characters dispatched, and seeds sown for a someday sequel.

Siglocktail 11-16-2020: Lynchburg Lemonade

Last week I mentioned the weather had turned wintery here is SoCal, but as I write this post it’s 90 degrees outside, so I’m leaning back into summer this week for this drink!

This week’s Siglocktail is a Lynchburg Lemonade.

Named after the town where Jack Daniels is made, but created in Alabama, the Lynchberg Lemonade is a easy, refreshing cocktail. It’s got lots of fresh lemon, but isn’t overly sour or bitter. Instead, the brightness of the lemon blends well with the complexities of the whiskey.

Livestream is tomorrow at 6pm PST and we’ll be toasting with these. Feel free to make this one (send us pics here if you do!) but as ever, you drink whatever you like best, or nothing at all, no worries!

LYNCHBURG LEMONADE RECIPE:
Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 ounces Tennessee whiskey
  • 1 ounce triple sec
  • 1 ounce lemon juice
  • 4 ounces lemon-lime soda
  • Lemon slices
  • cubed ice

Mad Scientist Process of Assembly™:

  • Pour the whiskey, triple sec, and lemon juice into a collins glass and add ice.
  • Top with soda.
  • Stir well and add lemon slices.
  • Serve and enjoy.

NOCTURNAL Throwback
Episode #41 Q & A Part 1

Scott takes questions from the Junkies regarding NOCTURNAL Throwback, the GFL, and all things Siglerism. This audio was recorded live on a SIGLERinPLACE livestream, so expect the bumps and bruises due any brawler once said brawler is committed to the ground & pound. No performance-enhancing drugs were used on this cast. Except Scotch. Scotch was used.
