Ep. 4 - Gin Basil Smash + Keeping Faith in Tragedy

On this week’s episode of Drinking and Thinking, we’re making a Gin Basil Smash and then having an honest conversation about keeping the faith, even in the middle of experiencing tragedy. It’s an emotional episode, so buckle up. 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.
