Book Review: Don't Call it a Cult: The Shocking Story of Keith Raniere and the Women of NXIVM

This weeks #bookoftheweek explores Keith Raniere and the world of NXIVM, Don't Call it a Cult: The Shocking Story of Keith Raniere and the Women of NXIVM by Sarah Berman was an excellent breakdown of the horrifying shitshow that was Keith Raniere and NXIVM.

The accompanying cocktail comes to us from ANOTHER book, Mixology and Murder: Cocktails Inspired by Infamous Serial Killers, Cold Cases, Cults, and Other Disturbing True Crime Stories by Kierra Sondereker, which can definitely be purchased through Amazon, that's where I bought my copy.

The Clifton Park Club is
2 oz gin
1 egg white
3/4 oz Fresh Lemon Juice
1/2 oz raspberry syrup
3 fresh raspberries for garnish

Place all ingredients (except the raspberries) in a cocktail shaker with ice, shake for about 20 seconds, strain into a coupe (or cocktail) glass. Garnish with the raspberries and enjoy. This cocktail was way too good to be matched with a psychopath like Raniere. I actually feel a little bad at how much I liked the cocktail.
