American Saints: Episode 22 (Myth-busting the legends of Abraham Lincoln & Ronald Reagan)

In this final episode of Season 2 we imbibe a juicy obscure vintage cocktail called the National Guard 7th Regiment Punch. We learn about the history of this "foxy wine" based concoction and how it links to Stephanie's story. Please note that we depart from our regular scandalous program to again close the season by myth-busting American legends.
