Ep. 24 - Smoked Black Manhattan + What Happens After We Die?

Written By Shaheen Eydgahi

On this week’s episode of Drinking and Thinking, we're whipping up a twist on the classic Manhattan cocktail by switching out the vermouth for Campari, and then we talk about what happens after we die and why there’s really only one person we should look to for that answer. If you haven’t done so already, we’d love if you would subscribe to our YouTube channel and/or podcast, plus follow us on any of the major social media channels, @letsdrinkthink.
