Archer's Peppermint Patty plus New Drinks! | How to Drink

I've had a ton of requests for a Peppermint Patty episode, but honestly I felt like there was nothing more to say on it... then I had an idea...

Today on How to Drink I'm finally tackling the much requested Peppermint Patty from Archer! Thing is, this drink has already been done, first, by Stirling Archer himself, and there's really not much to add to it. Nick @Cocktail Chemistry knocked it out of the park with his episode on it, so I've been reluctant to do an episode on this one because I didn't feel like I had much to add to the conversation. Then it hit me, Archer is known for throwing together cocktails on the spot, with whatever is handy... what if I started with a Peppermint Patty, and then did new riff's on that on the spot without any real preperation, would that be cool? Let's find out. This episode of course contains the Peppermint Patty, but it ALSO contains four brand new drinks (so far as I know at least) that I came up with on the spot. None of them are exactly perfectly refined and dialed in, but I'd say they're all pretty damn close, and I'd love to hear what you do with them.
