Ep 8 - Avengers Disassembled? Our Honest Take of Marvel's Phase 5

With the end of phase 5 coming in the next couple of months we wanted to talk about it. We wanted to make a tiered list of the movies that have come out that we either have hated or loved. Maybe "loved" is too strong of a word, enjoyed is for sure better.

Summary

With the end of phase 5 coming in the next couple of months we wanted to talk about it since we have enjoyed watching the last couple together. We wanted to make a tiered list of the movies that have come out that we either have hated or loved. Maybe "loved" is too strong of a word, enjoyed is for sure better. From Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 to The Marvels and Thunderbolts.

The Crimson Blossom

Ingredients

1 oz Roku Gin
0.5 oz Pomegranate Liqueur
0.5 oz Plum Liqueur
0.5 oz Cointreau
0.5 oz Red Wine (float)
0.5 oz Fresh Lemon Juice
2 dashes Orange Bitters
Egg White (for foam, optional)
Edible Flowers (for garnish)
Ice

Instructions

Shake: In a shaker, combine Roku Gin, pomegranate liqueur, plum liqueur, Cointreau, lemon juice, and bitters. If using egg white, dry shake first (without ice) to create foam, then add ice and shake again.
Strain: Fine strain into a chilled coupe or martini glass.
Float: Slowly pour red wine over the back of a spoon to create a stunning layered effect.
Garnish: Top with an edible flower (like a pansy or orchid) and a light dusting of edible gold flakes (optional) for that picture-perfect look.

The YouTube Channel "New Rockstars" recently released a video talking about the Russo Brothers coming back, and they agree that there needs to be a central storyline which is what Phase 4 and 5 is missing.
