Monster Movie Happy Hour, Ep. 34 "Beast from 20,000 Fathoms"

The crew watch 1953's iconic "Beast from 20,000 Fathoms", featuring the amazing stop-motion effects of Ray Harryhausen and a pretty cool 1950's apartment interior.

Dave introduces the "Whiskey Smash" in honor of the Arctic opening of the movie and the hard whiskey-drinking actor, Lee van Cleef, who plays the REAL hero of the movie.

Cheers!

"Whiskey Smash"

2 oz. of Whiskey
1/2 of a lemon, quartered
7 mint leaves
1 tbsp simple syrup (or a sugar cube with splash of soda water)
crushed ice

Muddle mint leaves, quartered lemon pieces and simple syrup in mixing glass, just enough to release juices and oils. Add bourbon. Transfer to Old Fashioned glass filled 1/2 with crushed ice, stir, then add more crushed ice. Garnish with spring of mint.
