SELLEST OSAST
This week on Liquid Courage & Curiosities, we’re diving into a small but mighty mystery… a bubbly little piece of botryoidal quartz from Colorado that looks suspiciously like grapes… and somehow ended up with a tiny wizard cat sitting on top of it.
Naturally, we had questions.
Is it geology?Is it decor?Is it the beginning of a quest?
We may not have answers… but we did name it.
Introducing: grape rock. 🍇
And of course, we paired it with a drink to match the chaos — the ✨ Sparkling Crystal Elixir ✨ — a shimmery sip that looks like it came straight out of a wizard’s cabinet (complete with grape garnish, because we commit to a theme).
Huge thanks to my amazing man for lending his voice to the intro, popping in mid-episode, and delivering that perfectly dramatic “booming” voice moment — truly iconic.
