THE SPIRIT OF THE EPISODE

> The Pour: [The Cell Block]

> The Ingredients:

· 2 oz Dark Overproof Rum: A bold and heavy pour, chosen to reflect the grave nature of a first-degree murder charge.

· 1/2 oz Mezcal: This ingredient adds a lingering, persistent smoke, representing the revolver that was a critical piece of evidence in the crime.

· 3/4 oz Blackberry Shrub: This provides a deep, bruised-purple color and a sharp, vinegary "bite", symbolizing the profound and bitter betrayal by a neighbor, Tracey Vassall.

· 2 Dashes Black Walnut Bitters: This adds an earthy and somber tone, grounding the complex flavors of the drink.

· Garnish: A dehydrated orange wheel positioned behind two crossed toothpicks, creating a visual that mimics cell bars—a final, "locked-in" statement.

>The vibe: A drink for when the walls start closing in
