RED Episode #112: Part 2 of our 60k Gauntlet Challenge, Osprey Tacos in Saint Augustine, & 2 More Infinity Stone Cocktails

RUN

This week we completed 2 more runs in our 60k Gauntlet Challenge from the Medal Chasers website.  This is a series of 10k runs for each infinity stone in the medal.  This virtual race series benefits the Pinky Swear Foundation that supports children and their families fighting childhood cancer.  This week we fought through the rain and heat that signals the start of the hot and humid Florida summers to earn the Reality and Power stones.

EAT

It is Cinco De Mayo!  We can’t get enough of Mexican food and thought we’d flash back to a place we went to in Saint Augustine on our way back home from the Donna Marathon Weekend.  Osprey Tacos is in beautiful and historic Saint Augustine, Florida.  They have street tacos, boulevard tacos, churros, and more!  We ordered from their boulevard taco section on their menu and it did not disappoint!  Plus, they are right next door to Old Coast Ales.  Tacos and beer for the win!  It was the last trip we had and we were feeling the need to reminisce.  How are you celebrating Cinco De Mayo?  

DRINK

Paul Cottrell, a leading local distiller and cocktail wizard is back to create two more awesome beverages representing each infinity stone we earned.  The reality stone whiskey cocktail and the power stone whiskey and vodka cocktail are delicious.  Paul is a talented drink wizard who shows us creative drinks to celebrate our accomplishments.  He first joined us last year for National Mojito Day 2019 and you can check him out on the Run Eat Drink Podcast Quick Bite #78.

The Reality Stone

1.5 oz whiskey (or bourbon)

1 oz lime juice (blood orange juice would be fun)

1.5 oz cranberry juice

Splash of grenadine (could also add some fruit bitters for a nice counterpoint)

Shake and either strain into an old fashioned glass with ice, or serve in a hi-ball glass. 

The Power Stone 

1 oz whiskey (could be bourbon or even brandy)

.5 oz vodka

1 oz blue curacao

.5 oz lime juice (could also add a little tart cherry or cranberry juice if you wanted a deeper purple)

grenadine to your liking.

Shake and serve in a martini glass.

THAT’S A WRAP!
