Welcome back to Mad Men & Tonic. In S2E5, “The New Girl,” Kristina and Elias mix Sex on the Beach cocktails in honor of Don and Bobbi’s beach trip that never was and the arrival of Hurricane Jane Siegel (drink lesson at 0:36, episode recap & discussion at 6:15). Kristina takes advantage of Joan’s engagement to reminisce about her own bachelorette party and wedding planning, and it wouldn’t be an episode of MM&T if Elias didn’t tell an apocryphal historical anecdote, this time about George Washington’s sex life. We are what we are, ok?
