Pour up a Tensions Collide and kick off season 6 of ‘Drinking With...’ with McCash as he relives this controversial Oscars ‘Best Picture’ winner alongside Brandon and Stoney.
To make the Tensions Collide, you’ll need:
1.5 oz Bourbon (representing the complexities and underlying tensions)
0.5 oz Sweet Vermouth (for a hint of warmth and connection)
2 dashes Angostura Bitters (to symbolize the bitter realities and prejudices)
Orange peel (for garnish and a glimmer of hope or change)
Stir the bourbon, sweet vermouth, and bitters with ice in a mixing glass.
Strain into a chilled coupe or rocks glass.
Garnish with an orange peel.
Directions:
Stir the bourbon, sweet vermouth, and bitters with ice in a mixing glass.
Strain into a chilled coupe or rocks glass.
Garnish with an orange peel.
Meaning: This cocktail, like the movie, suggests a darker, more complex undercurrent beneath a seemingly smooth exterior. The orange peel offers a spark of optimism, reminding us that even amidst the difficulties portrayed, there is potential for understanding and connection
