Speaker 1: Welcome to Criminalia, a production of Shonda Land Audio in
Speaker 1: partnership with I Heart Radio. Welcome to Criminalia, where it's
Speaker 1: pirate season. We're continuing to explore the lives and motivations
Speaker 1: of some of the most notorious freebooters throughout history. And
Speaker 1: I'm Holly fry Hey. Here's the thing that's going to
Speaker 1: sound awfully familiar by this point. The sixteenth century was
Speaker 1: not a time when records were well kept, especially records
Speaker 1: about children, and that is true for this pirate. By
Speaker 1: the way, in cases where records were well kept, talking
Speaker 1: hundreds of years ago, they often don't exist anymore. But
Speaker 1: based on records late in this person's life, it is
Speaker 1: estimated that Francis Drake was born between fifteen forty and
Speaker 1: fifteen forty three in England. We do know that Drake
Speaker 1: was the eldest of as many as five and possibly
Speaker 1: as many as well siblings, and we know that he
Speaker 1: was born to Marry Millway and Edmund Drake, who was
Speaker 1: a tenant farmer on the estate of Lord Francis Russell,
Speaker 1: the second Earl of Bedford. Drake was raised by relatives,
Speaker 1: the Hawkins family in Plymouth, England. They worked as merchants,
Speaker 1: and they also worked as privateers, and they were Drake's
Speaker 1: first taste of piracy. Their vessels tild trade routes along
Speaker 1: the French coast, seizing merchant ships. Drake went to the
Speaker 1: sea with his family around the time he turned about eighteen.
Speaker 1: Ish Elizabethan historian John Stowe wrote of Drake that he
Speaker 1: was quote of low stature, of strong limb, round headed,
Speaker 1: brown hair, full bearded, his eyes round, large and clear,
Speaker 1: well favored face, and of a cheerful countenance. In his
Speaker 1: adult life, Francis Drake was a politician, a naval officer,
Speaker 1: a sea captain, an English explorer, and the second person
Speaker 1: to circumnavigate the globe, another now familiar horror that comes
Speaker 1: up this season. He was also one of the first
Speaker 1: illegal traders of enslaved people from West Africa, and he
Speaker 1: engaged in it for years. In the early fifteen sixties
Speaker 1: along with his cousin John Hawkins, the two kidnapped and
Speaker 1: brought these enslaved Africans to Spanish colonies in the Caribbean,
Speaker 1: where they would sell them to local plantation owners. By
Speaker 1: fifteen sixty eight, Drake was commanding his own illegal slave
Speaker 1: trading ship because their activities were illegal under Spanish law.
Speaker 1: The Spanish government sent a fleet of ships to intervene.
Speaker 1: During this attack, much of Drake's crew was captured and killed. Drake,
Speaker 1: who remained unharmed, escaped. The incident, as we'll see, left
Speaker 1: him with a good deal of contempt for King Philip
Speaker 1: the Second, the King of Spain, Drake considered to be
Speaker 1: a lifelong enemy. A few years later, in fifteen seventy
Speaker 1: and fifteen seventy one, Drake made two profitable voyages to
Speaker 1: the West Indies. Immediately after in fo he commanded two
Speaker 1: vessels on an expedition to plunder Spanish ports in the Caribbean.
Speaker 1: He returned to England with a great deal of Spanish treasure.
Speaker 1: So Drake was a pirate in disguise as a privateer, right, So,
Speaker 1: there are actually a few terms that we all use
Speaker 1: when we talk about pirates. Pirates. Of course, buccaneers, corsairs
Speaker 1: and privateers are also in that mix, and they're used
Speaker 1: pretty interchangeably, but they shouldn't be. Pirates is by far
Speaker 1: the most general way to talk about those who engage
Speaker 1: in illegal activities such as robbing, kidnapping and murdering, and
Speaker 1: pretty much everything else tyrannical you can think of happening
Speaker 1: on the seas. It's kind of the umbrella term. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: it is the buccaneers and the corsairs. So buccaneer is
Speaker 1: another name for pirate, but it's the name for pirates
Speaker 1: who specifically operated from ports in the West Indies and
Speaker 1: specifically the Caribbean and the Pacific coast of Central America
Speaker 1: in the six hundreds. Course, hairs weren't much different, but
Speaker 1: they committed acts of piracy in the Mediterranean during the
Speaker 1: Ottoman Empire. But if you happened to have a license
Speaker 1: from a government that sanctioned that sort of behavior, then
Speaker 1: you have become a privateer. You're a pirate with papers.
Speaker 1: You've heard us refer to them before as a letter
Speaker 1: of mark, and that made your actions legit. And Francis
Speaker 1: Drake was a pirate with papers. Privateers. Privateers were individuals
Speaker 1: who supplied and manned their own private vessels and who
Speaker 1: were commissioned by a government to carry out various things, actually,
Speaker 1: but primarily two things. Privateers stole cargo and everything really
Speaker 1: that they could find from trading vessels and settlements along
Speaker 1: popular trade routes, all in the name of said government.
Speaker 1: But privateers were also commissioned as warships, and that meant
Speaker 1: capturing other vessels, stealing, fighting in wars, and fighting for
Speaker 1: their prizes. A privateers loot was known as a prize.
Speaker 1: Hiring privateers came with risk, but commissioning them also meant
Speaker 1: that governments could supplement their own navies with additional private militia,
Speaker 1: so to bring the act of privateering close to home
Speaker 1: for people living anywhere near me or Maria. The United
Speaker 1: States commissioned privateers to boost its military powers recently is
Speaker 1: the War of eighteen twelve. Not only did it boost
Speaker 1: the country's naval protection, it also was a pretty lucrative endeavor.
Speaker 1: That's because the US government taxed privateering prizes as much
Speaker 1: as that is so high, that's so amazing. That's a racket, right,
Speaker 1: even if you don't need them for the naval benefit,
Speaker 1: you just want to tax their moot. So it's actually
Speaker 1: really slippery slope here. Commissioning pirates didn't always work in
Speaker 1: the government's favor. Yes, they were working under commission but
Speaker 1: that didn't mean some privateers didn't make a few extracurricular
Speaker 1: stops along the way to say, raid and loot vessels
Speaker 1: along coastlines that weren't at all associated with the rival
Speaker 1: government that they were supposed to be fighting. In other words,
Speaker 1: they were engaging in piracy. This is the handy thing
Speaker 1: of not being connected to everyone all the time. You
Speaker 1: can't gonna go do your own fake as long as
Speaker 1: you land back and forward or or less having achieved
Speaker 1: your goals. Sometimes, and fairly often, it seems a commission
Speaker 1: was kept quiet and maybe even never formalized. Although there
Speaker 1: was sometimes no letter of mark, there would be an
Speaker 1: agreement of some sort between government and pirate, and that's
Speaker 1: another example of how the line between pirate and privateer
Speaker 1: is a bit smudged. So it was because of Drake's
Speaker 1: successful and lucrative expeditions to the West Indies that he
Speaker 1: caught the attention of the Queen of England, who in
Speaker 1: fifty two commissioned him to plunder Spanish ports in the Caribbean.
Speaker 1: Starting to sound familiar, and he did, and he returned
Speaker 1: with tons of Peruvian gold and silver. After the raid,
Speaker 1: Drake and his crew continued raiding the Portuguese coastline and
Speaker 1: capturing treasure ships, and he was now also gaining quite
Speaker 1: a reputation as a successful privateer. But then Drake disappears
Speaker 1: for a few years, with no real record of him
Speaker 1: on the seas between fifteen seventy three and fifteen seventy seven.
Speaker 1: This coincides with the years that Queen Elizabeth and King
Speaker 1: Philip the Second of Spain had agreed on a temporary
Speaker 1: truce that meant that the Queen could no longer support
Speaker 1: Drake in the revenge business. During that time, other than
Speaker 1: some reports of his sailing and pillaging and one account
Speaker 1: that he may have taken part in the Rathlin Island
Speaker 1: massacre and Gerland, he just kind of disappears for a
Speaker 1: little bit. We're going to take a break for a
Speaker 1: word from our sponsor. When we return, we'll talk about
Speaker 1: Drake's famous expedition to circumnavigate the globe. Welcome back to Criminalia.
Speaker 1: Let's talk more about how much Francis Drake disliked the Spaniards. Ah, Yes, Sir,
Speaker 1: Drake to England was an adventurer and he was a
Speaker 1: war hero. He was celebrated by many. Not all of
Speaker 1: his peers felt that way, though many found him unreliable
Speaker 1: and self seeking. Plus, he was a politician who had
Speaker 1: pirate manners. For example, naval commander Sir Richard Grenville and
Speaker 1: the navigator and explorer Sir Martin Frobisher both outwardly and
Speaker 1: immensely disliked him. Drake, for his part, didn't really seem
Speaker 1: to care about that he was the first Englishman to
Speaker 1: circumnavigate the globe, but actually, as we mentioned at the
Speaker 1: top of the show, the second person to make that
Speaker 1: journey and return home alive. The first recorded explorer to
Speaker 1: do so was Ferdinand Magellan, whose expedition sailed from Spain
Speaker 1: in fifteen nineteen and returned in fifteen twenty two. So
Speaker 1: Magellan was commissioned as well. He was commissioned by Spain
Speaker 1: to take an exploratory journey to find the East Indies,
Speaker 1: which at the time was also nicknamed the Spice Islands.
Speaker 1: Today this reference is the area that covers a wide
Speaker 1: region in South and Southeast Asia. Drake's commission was not
Speaker 1: quite the same as Magellan's. He sailed as captain of
Speaker 1: the Golden Hind, an English galleon, on a voyage that
Speaker 1: lasted from fifteen seventy seven through fifty. He was secretly
Speaker 1: commissioned by Queen Elizabeth, the first of England to lead
Speaker 1: an expedition which would take him around South America through
Speaker 1: the streets of Magellan in search of new lands. He
Speaker 1: was also to explore the northwestern coast of North America,
Speaker 1: but his real objective, under agreement with the Queen, was
Speaker 1: to raid and loot Spanish colonies, shipping ports and trading
Speaker 1: vessels along the coast of Chili and Peru, and any
Speaker 1: others that he found along the way. He set sail
Speaker 1: on this multi tiered mission in December, off with five vessels.
Speaker 1: We know that among his men were John Winter, commander
Speaker 1: of one of the vessels, and Officer Thomas Dodie. While
Speaker 1: there isn't much information at all about Winter, we do
Speaker 1: know that Drake and Dodie were hostile toward each other,
Speaker 1: and it suggested that that might have been politically motivated,
Speaker 1: whatever the real reason for their friction. Note, Drake accused
Speaker 1: Dotie of planning a mutiny and had him arrested. Dodie
Speaker 1: had a brief trial, which some sources say was probably
Speaker 1: also an illegal trial, and he was convicted and he
Speaker 1: was beheaded. There are two two ways to navigate around
Speaker 1: the southern tip of South America. One route is how
Speaker 1: ferdmand Magellan did it, and that is now known as
Speaker 1: the Strait of Magellan. You'll also see that as the
Speaker 1: Straits of Magellan and the Straight of Magellan is a
Speaker 1: three d fifty mile narrows at the southern tip of
Speaker 1: South America, and it connects the Atlantic Ocean and the
Speaker 1: Pacific Ocean. This was a hugely popular route, consider that
Speaker 1: the Panama Canal, which connects the Atlantic Ocean with the
Speaker 1: Pacific Ocean, would not be constructed until about three hundred
Speaker 1: fifty years later. But as it turns out, Drake actually
Speaker 1: didn't take the same route as Magellan. Well, I mean
Speaker 1: he did at first, so this is what happened. After
Speaker 1: sixteen days passing through the Strait of Magellan, Drake and
Speaker 1: his crew were forced south by storms. Drake's ship was
Speaker 1: the only one to survive and to go on to
Speaker 1: complete the expedition, but he wouldn't do so through the
Speaker 1: Strait of Magellan. Drake wrote, we quote God, by a
Speaker 1: contrary wind and in tolerable tempest, seemed to set himself
Speaker 1: against us. The option for sailing between the Atlantic and
Speaker 1: Pacific Oceans other than the Straight of Magellan at this
Speaker 1: time was known to be difficult to navigate. That's since
Speaker 1: become known as the Drake Passage, and it takes you
Speaker 1: through the southernmost tip of South America through a collection
Speaker 1: of islands known as the Tierra del Fuego, and the
Speaker 1: point farthest south on that archipelago is what we know
Speaker 1: as Cape Horn, and that is where Drake crossed to
Speaker 1: the Pacific Ocean. Like the Straight of Magellan, the passage
Speaker 1: opened up significant new trade routes. It was shorter than
Speaker 1: sailing the Straight of Magellan, but it also came at
Speaker 1: a bigger risk. In March of fIF seventy nine, during
Speaker 1: his time circumnavigating the globe, Drake seized perhaps his biggest
Speaker 1: greatest prize. His presence in the Pacific Ocean was a
Speaker 1: surprise to the Spanish, and their colonies weren't equipped to
Speaker 1: defend themselves. Drake helped himself and the ground to a
Speaker 1: sizeable bit of treasure, and then he continued to trawl
Speaker 1: the coast of Chili, raiding stores and ports and pillaging
Speaker 1: gold as he sailed north. When he came to the
Speaker 1: harbor at Lima, Peru, the people there found themselves defenseless,
Speaker 1: but they had something worth trading. And that was good
Speaker 1: information to share, and so they told him about a
Speaker 1: treasure ship that was heading towards Panama. Not one to
Speaker 1: miss a lucrative opportunity, Drake set out for the vessel
Speaker 1: and overtook it. The ship, the Nuestra Senora de la Conception,
Speaker 1: was carrying dozens of treasure chests. It was and is
Speaker 1: still considered Drake's biggest haul. The ship's captain had said
Speaker 1: also did not expect to meet an enemy in the Pacific,
Speaker 1: and had assumed Drake's vessel was actually just a friendly
Speaker 1: Spanish ship. But Drake was of course not friendly and
Speaker 1: took not just the booty but also the captain as
Speaker 1: a prisoner. Drake continued to sail north. It's believed he
Speaker 1: may have gone as far north as Vancouver Island, and
Speaker 1: that he was probably searching for the Northwest Passage, which
Speaker 1: is the route between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans but
Speaker 1: through the Arctic Ocean. In fifteen seventy nine, he spent
Speaker 1: some time in what is now the San Francisco Bay area,
Speaker 1: preparing and overhauling his ship for the continuing voyage, and
Speaker 1: claiming the area for the Queen of England. Later that year,
Speaker 1: he sailed to the northernmost of the Indonesian islands, what
Speaker 1: he would have called the East Indies. In the Philippines,
Speaker 1: he did something a little different, not so much with
Speaker 1: the pillaging, but instead he bought spices. He purchased something.
Speaker 1: We're going to take a break now for a word
Speaker 1: from our sponsor. But when we're back we'll talk about
Speaker 1: how and when Francis Drake became Sir Francis Drake. Welcome
Speaker 1: back to Criminalia. Let's talk about how we heard that
Speaker 1: Francis Drake sold his soul to the devil. Drake's voyages
Speaker 1: circumnavigating the globe, as well as journeys closer to home,
Speaker 1: were intended to help England build one of the foremost
Speaker 1: empires in the quote New World. And he did make
Speaker 1: a fortune for both himself and for the Crown, regardless
Speaker 1: of what anyone else, such as say, maybe the King
Speaker 1: of Spain felt about his acts of piracy, Queen Elizabeth,
Speaker 1: looked the other way. When he arrived back in England,
Speaker 1: his ship was loaded with gold and silver, chests of
Speaker 1: rare porcelains from China, spices, silks, and now a whole
Speaker 1: lot of loot from Spain. King Philip the Second complained
Speaker 1: about Drake's piracy, but the Queen was so pleased she
Speaker 1: just dismissed him. She knighted Drake aboard his ship on
Speaker 1: April four. So a little side note about a story
Speaker 1: that's often relayed as part of Drake's legend. It is
Speaker 1: commonly said that he introduced potatoes to England upon his
Speaker 1: return from circumnavigating the globe. Don't give him all the
Speaker 1: credit there, That's not true at all. They were likely
Speaker 1: introduced by the Spanish, and likely a decade before Drake's journey.
Speaker 1: Ah the Spanish, I know, right. So speaking of the Spanish.
Speaker 1: While England celebrated Drake, Spain considered him any legal trader
Speaker 1: of enslaved people and a cold blooded pirate. And they
Speaker 1: weren't wrong. Drake was a pirate. But if you remember,
Speaker 1: he was also a politician. In the early fifteen eighties,
Speaker 1: he served as the Mayor of Plymouth and as a
Speaker 1: member of Parliament. But in five he returned to his
Speaker 1: ship to you know it, raid Spanish settlements in the Caribbean.
Speaker 1: This time under his commission, he commanded a fleet of
Speaker 1: about twenty five ships and anywhere between one sixty four
Speaker 1: and twenty three hundred men. His objective was to target
Speaker 1: what is president day Florida, present day Dominican Republic, present
Speaker 1: day Columbia, and the present day Cape very day Island.
Speaker 1: He did. He did all of that, and he left
Speaker 1: with enormous wealth. It said that King Philip the Second
Speaker 1: of Spain at one point that's so tired of all
Speaker 1: this that he offered a bounty of twenty thousand ducats
Speaker 1: for Drake's head. In fifteen eighty six, the king began
Speaker 1: preparing to invade England. This was when the Spanish Armada
Speaker 1: was formed. Drake had a bad reputation for quite a
Speaker 1: long time, and in fifty seven he was the one
Speaker 1: to deal the first blow, launching a preemptive strike on
Speaker 1: the Spanish port of Cadiz where the ships were being gathered.
Speaker 1: Catching the Spanish off guard, Drake's crew pillaged and burned
Speaker 1: the coastline. The raid destroyed between thirty and forty Spanish vessels,
Speaker 1: and the crew looted tons of supplies. Jokingly, Drake called
Speaker 1: it his quote, singing of the King of Spain's beard.
Speaker 1: Soon after, Drake was second in command under Admiral Charles Howard.
Speaker 1: In his role as an officer in the Royal Navy,
Speaker 1: not as a pirate, and not as a privateer. Drake
Speaker 1: led the English to victory over the Spanish Armada, and
Speaker 1: he basked in that victory and that praise. There was
Speaker 1: a rumor among Spaniards, and especially sailors who fought in
Speaker 1: the Spanish Armada against Drake, that he had supernatural powers,
Speaker 1: and that perhaps those powers came from the devil. Maybe
Speaker 1: he practiced witchcraft. Another part of his legend suggests that
Speaker 1: he had a mirror, a magic mirror that allowed him
Speaker 1: to spy on all of the ships sailing the seas.
Speaker 1: Calling Drake quote a devil and no man, they nicknamed
Speaker 1: him El Drac or the Dragon. Lord Burghley, who was
Speaker 1: Queen Elizabeth's primary minister, had never approved of Drake or
Speaker 1: his methods, but even he conceded quote, Sir Francis Drake
Speaker 1: is a fearful man. To the King of Spain. In
Speaker 1: early Queen Elizabeth the First commissioned him for one last
Speaker 1: voyage against the Spanish in the West Indies. Drake took
Speaker 1: the contract, but the expedition ended in failure. This time,
Speaker 1: the Spanish successfully defended themselves against his English fleet. This, though,
Speaker 1: is where our story about Pirate Francis Drake, the most
Speaker 1: famous sailor of Elizabethan Age, comes to an end. In fifteen,
Speaker 1: Drake contracted dysentery and died of a fever. He was
Speaker 1: buried wearing full armor and in a lead coffin at
Speaker 1: sea off the coast of Panama. Although divers have continued
Speaker 1: to search, his exact resting place remains unknown. Historian John
Speaker 1: Stowe wrote of Drake that quote, he was more skillful
Speaker 1: in all points of navigation than any He was also
Speaker 1: of a per pricked memory, great observation, eloquent by nature.
Speaker 1: In brief, he was as famous in Europe and America
Speaker 1: as Timberlane in Asia and Africa. So there's a little
Speaker 1: story I thought would be fun to share before Holly
Speaker 1: shares this episodes libations. So part of Drake's legend includes
Speaker 1: a story about how, among so many other things he
Speaker 1: is credited for and that we've talked about, he may
Speaker 1: also have been the first mixologist. But surely this is
Speaker 1: with apologies to the American bartender named Jerry Thomas, who
Speaker 1: wrote the first cocktail book and is widely considered to
Speaker 1: be the father of American mixology. But let's go back
Speaker 1: to Drake's drink. His drink was intended to help cure
Speaker 1: a sickness that was among his crewmen, and it combined mint, lime,
Speaker 1: tree bark rum, which were all popular in medicinal uses,
Speaker 1: with cane sugar, which I can only imagine is to
Speaker 1: help the medicine go down. He called it ldre, and
Speaker 1: as it's told, it did cure his crew I'm not
Speaker 1: going to cure anything in the groggery. I'm not surprised.
Speaker 1: I don't think any of what I'm looking for cures,
Speaker 1: Like I mean, I'll try, uh, you know, it'll cure
Speaker 1: your lack of delightful beverage maybe, but nothing actually medicinal. So,
Speaker 1: in thinking about this, this is one of those things
Speaker 1: where like I'm a little bit of a ten year
Speaker 1: old and I just fixate on one phrase and then
Speaker 1: I can't stop thinking about it, and that becomes what
Speaker 1: the drink is about, even though it's not that important
Speaker 1: to the bigger story. So this drink is called the
Speaker 1: Golden Hind. Now for a little bit of context about
Speaker 1: that name. The Golden Hind is a female red deer
Speaker 1: that's an actual animal, and the reason that his ship
Speaker 1: was named that was because it was part of the
Speaker 1: crest of his patron, Sir Christopher Hatton, So that's why
Speaker 1: it was called that. But I just got to thinking
Speaker 1: about golden libations and things that would be yummy in
Speaker 1: that arena um that has nothing to do with deer.
Speaker 1: I just wanted to make sure we have the context
Speaker 1: of that moniker. So the Golden hind is actually really easy.
Speaker 1: It's kind of based on a Collins formula, which is
Speaker 1: one that I play with a lot. If if you
Speaker 1: followed along, you'll notice there are many Collins variations in
Speaker 1: my hat because I love it and it's a classic
Speaker 1: for a reason. So this starts with one and a
Speaker 1: half ounces of vodka, like a nice clean whatever, like
Speaker 1: the least flavored vodka, and then it is three quarters
Speaker 1: of an ounce of honey syrup. Resist the temptation to
Speaker 1: just put honey straight in because it sometimes won't dissolve
Speaker 1: effectively it's too thick. So what you want to do
Speaker 1: first is combine one part honey to one part water
Speaker 1: and let that dissolve, and that's your honey syrup that
Speaker 1: you're going to use for drinks. So three quarters of
Speaker 1: an ounce of that and then three quarters of an
Speaker 1: ounce of lemon juice. And then just to get with
Speaker 1: a little extra golden tone, you're gonna sprinkle a tiny amount,
Speaker 1: like a little baby pinch, a scant pinch of tumeric
Speaker 1: into it, and I would put that all in a
Speaker 1: cocktail shaker without ice, shake it like the Dickens, because
Speaker 1: the reason I say a tiny, tiny amount of tumeric
Speaker 1: is that that doesn't, in my experience, incorporate into liquid
Speaker 1: as well as I would like. And you can have
Speaker 1: kind of a grainy texture if you put more than
Speaker 1: just a tiny bit in there. But if you do
Speaker 1: put just a tiny bit in there, you won't get
Speaker 1: as much greediness and it will make it a beautiful
Speaker 1: golden color. So you're gonna shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky, shak shaky, shaky,
Speaker 1: shaky ticket You'll thank you shaking it too much. Keep
Speaker 1: shaking because you really want to incorporate as much of
Speaker 1: that tumeric as you can. Uh. And then you're gonna
Speaker 1: just strain that over ice, which will also help get
Speaker 1: out any of the greeniness. Top it with a club
Speaker 1: soda or if you want to sweeten it, do a
Speaker 1: light gingerile. Super easy. It makes you look like you're
Speaker 1: like a fancy mixologist, and really you're just you're just
Speaker 1: working out a habit. It's a great it's a great,
Speaker 1: easy drink. It also shares a little bit of d
Speaker 1: n a of course, of the bee's knees without doing
Speaker 1: the gin and also adding that bubbly component to it,
Speaker 1: so yummy nummies in our tummies. If you want to
Speaker 1: do the non alcoholic version and do a little mock
Speaker 1: tail here, I would skip the vodka and the lemon
Speaker 1: juice and just do a low sugar lemonade, add that
Speaker 1: honey syrup to it in the same amount, So at
Speaker 1: that point you're gonna do like I would say, two
Speaker 1: to three ounces of lemonade, still do the three quarter
Speaker 1: of an ounce of honey syrup, add that little sprinkle
Speaker 1: of tumeric, shake a shake, shake, and then still top
Speaker 1: it with club soda urgent rail and it's just a
Speaker 1: pretty golden, very yummy beautiful. I always like a drink
Speaker 1: that's is pretty to look at, it is as it
Speaker 1: is to sip. This has a really nice color to it,
Speaker 1: that is the golden Hind. I feel like I should
Speaker 1: also mention that if you are curious what the Golden
Speaker 1: Hind looked like. There are an number of replicas of
Speaker 1: it that you can go visit that are kind of
Speaker 1: like museum pieces in England in various locations, and you
Speaker 1: can see pictures of those online. Absolutely beautiful. Some of
Speaker 1: them are actually like sea worthy, like could go out
Speaker 1: of ports if they were not sitting there waiting for visitors. Lovely,
Speaker 1: the Golden High, The Golden High. You can think of
Speaker 1: piracy and red Deer while you drink it, uh, and
Speaker 1: as you drink it, please know that we appreciate you
Speaker 1: uh spending this time with us, sharing our cocktail mania
Speaker 1: and our love of piracy, or at least our love
Speaker 1: of discussing piracy. We hope that you will come back
Speaker 1: and do this again next week with us, because we
Speaker 1: have more pirates a common Thanks so much. Criminalia is
