Episode 16: Krampus
Merry Krampus! We hope you have a safe and wonderful holiday with your friends, family, pets, and ghosts in your attic. This week, we're of course covering Krampus while respectively drinking the Krampus Cocktail!
It's delicious! Muddle a few blackberries in your cocktail shaker, add ice with two shots of vanilla vodka. Shake it up and double strain it into your champagne glass. Add some sparkling cranberry apple cider with just enough room for some Everclear. Then light it on fire!

First Leyna tells us the creepy backstory of Santa's evil helper and then Lauren shares a few poems mysteriously left in a village where people keep dying at the hands of a horrible creature.

Lastly, thank you so much for your support this season! We're taking a little break to spend time with our families this holiday and recharge our batteries. In the meantime, catch up on any episodes you missed, and send in your ghost stories! We'd love to put out a few mini-episodes during the break.

15: Hellhounds & Redcaps
It's a Creature Feature! We're switching it up as Lauren takes a turn first to tell us about Hellhounds and how you can protect yourself from them...or make them your friends.
The drink for this subject is called Black Dog!
3oz Jim Beam Whiskey
1oz Dry Vermouth
0.5oz blackberry brandy
Shake it up and strain over ice
Leyna then tells us about little elven creatures called Redcaps. And let me tell you now, these spawns of Satan definitely aren't working in Santa's workshop and Leyna sips on a Gin & Tonic to get through it all! -
14: Poveglia Island
We're going all the way to Italy this week to talk about Poveglia Island! Ever since it was claimed by people in the year 421, it has seen nothing but death. Leyna gives us the timeline from when it started off as a stronghold for battle, a quarantine zone where over 160,000 people met their deaths, and then eventually turned into an abusive mental institution run by a malicious doctor. Did you know the term quarantine comes from the Italian word "quaranta giorni" meaning forty days? That's how long people had to isolate themselves during plague times...Not these plague times, the other plague times...
Lauren tells us about the spooky encounters that thrill-seeking tourists and locals have experienced, and why they vow never to return to the island.
Our drink this week is a Bellini Cocktail which contains white peach puree mixed with Prosecco. Ironically, some of the best-tasting peaches in Venice are found on Poveglia Island. It couldn't have to do with the soil being made of human remains....could it? -
13: The Dybbuk
Happy Chanukah! Stay safe, be happy, and we hope you have a fantastic holiday with your loved ones.
Many a facepalm in this episode as we delve into the history and hauntings of the demon known as The Dybbuk! Leyna educates all of us on the history of what a Dybbuk is and how it came to be in Jewish folklore. Then Lauren tells us about the unfortunate events of the infamous Dybbuk Box.
What kind of reputation has this unassuming wine box caused over the years, and where is it now?? Maybe we have a few personal encounters with it as well...
This week we're both drinking wine.
While counties apart, Leyna is drinking "Josh" (Hey it's Kosher!) While Lauren is drinking "Cupcake - Red Velvet" (Uh, Not so Kosher)
Also, as a holiday gift to ya'll: no more ads for the rest of the month. Yay!
