Cocktail Video: The Class of the Race

Some (foolish ones) think a marathon is just a race ran a certain number of miles from point A to point B. When, actually, many things (life, even, if you know the full story) are marathons, going from one point to another. Heck, maybe that’s just the way it feels today though. Whichever case you’re in to, it’s nice to have a good drink to sip after the marathon is over, or before the marathon happens, or to sip instead of running at all (my choice). I think the Class of the Race is ideal for these situations, with its classy blend of bubbly, bourbon, Bénédictine, Peychaud’s, and a touch of simply syrup. Learn to make it (and watch a real marathon ending with it) in the below video, filmed by Dr. Gonzo (genius—have you emailed him about getting your quarterly free Khaos Apocrypher by the way?) and featuring a troop of serious runners. Or drinkers.

Awesome.

This makes me thirsty for another marathon!

phismi said:

That’s just … wow. I … wow.

admin said:

It does take your breath away a bit, right?

Leslie said:

Wow. Natalie should really consider a career in broadcasting! This was he-larious! I love Jeremy’s total joy in running and his ability to look 1/2 runner 1/2 pornstar at the same time.

Amazing!

Natalie said:

WOW is right!
Hard to believe I don’t have a 3rd career!
Did it sound like I have a lisp?

phismi said:

Natalie, Carol Channing would have been proud.

brad said:

i need to get some benedictine!

Gina said:

Yeth, Natalie it did! What a suspenseful video! Way to pull through Ed, and lovely hair AJ. Thought Huskey Boy was a shoe in. Keep up the great videos. I love watching these.

admin said:

I thought the HB was in too–but then Skoog made his move (he saw the bourbon in the background and that spurred him on). But the HB wins the hottest shorts award. Or something like it. And yes brad, Bene is crucial for running (and a few other things).
