Ep 017: Swearing in Fiction

D.C. and Avery discuss naughty words in fiction: when to use them, when is it too much, and why would you want to swear in your writing?

CORRECTION: Apparently Avery does not remember the difference between Babylon 5 and Battlestar Galactica but in our defense, that drink was pretty strong. :D

2. While syrup cools, squeeze juice and strain into a bottle using a fine mesh strainer.
3. Combine cooled syrup and juice in a bottle, shake well.
   
4. Will last 1-2 weeks refrigerated. Can add a little bit of vodka to make it last up to a month in the fridge.
