Every Thursday on the Tom Dunne Show we're joined by Oisin Davis of The Damson Diner who creates his version of a classic movie cocktail, and George Byrne who reviews the biggest movies of the week.
This week, Oisin recreates Aaron Eckhart's tiple of choice, The Mint Julep, in the classic ciggarette industry satire, 'Thank You for Smoking...
Mint Julep
