Ok, so the last one was so good we decided to let it ride for a while (yeah, that’s right). But now you’re in for a rasta-treat. What’s Green and Black and delicious with flecks of real gold inside? Mary’s Bob Marley shot, that’s what!

I love it when your bartender has a signature drink. Something that may exist elsewhere or may not, but was invented and named by the friendly face serving you. Sheila is one of those friendly faces, and the Purple Monkey is one of those drinks.

Mary from Bud Jackson’s Sportsman’s Bar & Grill shows us how to make one of her favorites, and Josie shows us how to scrub-a-dub-dub.
And finally… Nola makes her film debut.

Blaire shows us one of her favorite drinks. If you go to Bud Jackson’s and order this one from Blaire, she might just tell you what the drink’s initials stand for.
Meanwhile… Flash back to the 2050’s where everything is b&w except the television.
