This week as part of Karen’s “back to school” themed month, she has the selected the 1995 film “The Addiction” for our viewing pleasure. Join Greg and Karen as they discuss the film while enjoying a “Black & White Cocktail”. Karen found the recipe below on foodnetwork.com.

- Add the cream and vodka. Cover and shake vigorously, or stir, until combined and chilled, about 30 seconds.
- Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
