On this episode we discuss Striking Vipers episode from the Netflix show Black Mirror. Striking Vipers deals with a virtual reality game played between two friends and the decisions that were made. Black Mirror is an anthology series with 5 seasons and 22 episodes that explores technology and what it can cause. I had tried to watch the pilot episode and ended up not finishing it, but a friend chose this specific episode to talk about because for her love of video games and also how it really makes you think.
Black Mirror Cocktail (wine dharma.com):
3 cl of Grappa
1 cl of nocino
2 cl of sweet vermouth
1 cl of saba
1 anise
3 drops of orange bitter
sugar
Pour the saba and the nocino in a glass and infuse the anise for 10 minutes.
Recover the anise.
Put the grappa, nocino, saba, vermouth and the orange bitter in a shaker full of ice, shake for 10 seconds and then pour into a well-frozen cup.
Take the anise with the tongs, set it on fire with a torch and, while holding it over the glass, let the icing sugar fall on top. Be careful no to burn your eyebrows, or really anything.
