March has arrived, and we’re kicking off the month with a drink that’s as bold and bruised as a final girl! Join us in The Lobby Bar as we shake up a Blushing Whiskey Sour from https://www.kleinworthco.com/blushing-whiskey-sour/We’re swapping the traditional bourbon for smooth Irish Whiskey and muddling in fresh blackberries for a tart, deep-purple twist on the classic sour.

256 - Wuthering Heights & the Moor's Tempest
2/19/2026
This week we’re wandering into the mist and madness of the Yorkshire moors for Emerald Fennell’s 2026 reimagining of Wuthering Heights! We’ll discuss the electric, obsessive chemistry between Margot Robbie’s Catherine and Jacob Elordi’s Heathcliff, and how this version leans into the wild, untamed, and frankly toxic nature of Brontë’s original text. We’ll talk about the haunting gothic aesthetic, the cycles of revenge, and whether any soul can truly survive the Heights.
To capture the stormy romance and the rugged landscape, we’re mixing up a drink that’s as turbulent as a Yorkshire gale: Moores Tempest. This cocktail is a beautiful balance of wild sweetness and earthy aromatics, much like the characters themselves.
