This week on Twist Happy Hour, we’re shaking up more than just cocktails. Keryn and Kate kick things off with the Rosemary Reverie, a herbaceous gin drink that’s anything but ordinary, before diving headfirst into a conversation about constitutional rights, habeas corpus, and what’s really at stake when those protections start to wobble.

From Elle Woods misquoting legal terms (you’ll never hear “habeas corpus” the same way again) to how immigration policies are reshaping the U.S., this episode blends serious political conversation with laughs, personal stories, and a few eyebrow-raising sound bites.

🍸 Here’s what we’re unpacking in this episode:
• Keryn’s Rosemary Reverie cocktail and her attempts not to stain everything
• What habeas corpus actually is—and why it matters
• How suspending constitutional rights sets a dangerous precedent
• Personal immigration stories and how history still shapes today’s policies
• The truth about international students and what they bring to U.S. schools
• Why no one in politics seems to be thinking more than one step ahead
• And how maybe we should all just “go shoot on location” in Europe

We’re stirring up cocktails and conversation about a topic that might hit your wallet: tariffs.

Keryn and Kate kick off the episode with a Lavender Bees Knees and Empress Gin, then pivot to the rising costs of wine, hidden fees from online shopping, getting your news on tariffs from TikTok and the complex ripple effects of global trade.

From unexpected delivery bills to the reality of bringing manufacturing back to the U.S., this episode dives deep into how international policy decisions trickle down to everyday life. The duo also discusses why long-term planning—not quick fixes—is essential if we want to create lasting change for future generations. So pour yourself something strong and join the conversation.
