The Exorcist with Matthew Knotts

Hello Libration Nation! This week horror film enthusiast Matthew Knotts is here to talk about one of his favorite books and films “The Exorcist” by William Peter Blatty. The episode touches equally with the film side of the story as well as the book and was delightful and hilarious to record.

For our drink we went with the Exorcist Cocktail from this website. The ingredients are:

3/4 oz of Lime Juice


1 1/2 oz of Tequila


3/4 oz of blue curacao liqueur

For ours we added a little grapefruit juice just to add a little flavor.

There is also a surprise drink twist about halfway through, you will have to listen to find out! Cheers!
