MSNBC host and cocktail enthusiast Rachel Maddow inspired the improved pina colada in our latest Slate video, but there are things she won't do with liquor. For one, she doesn't want to chase her whiskey with a shot of pickle juice. Take a listen to her thoughts on the pickleback trend that has been gradually expanding in recent months. It's part of the Proustian questionnaire we gave her when we talked with her about cocktails while recording Episode 45.

She had some pretty interesting answers to the rest of the questionnaire, and we talked with her about other cocktail topics that are not included in the Episode. (You'll enjoy her answer on food in heaven.) The additional material with Rachel is in a special, unreleased episode of the Sporkful. If you're a Sporkful supporter, you'll get this and other exclusive content, plus a certifiably awesome Sporkful t-shirt. It's quick and easy to give to Sporkful, which helps us reach new levels of awesome. Details on how to support us are here. Thanks to all who have or will donate - we can't do it without you! /mark
