Mikki’s Margarita: 2 servings - 3oz 818 (or your choice of tequila), 1 oz Grand Marnier, 1 oz (or to your liking) agave, 1 1/4 oz (or to your liking) fresh lime juice, shake with a lot of ice and use that ice for the glasses. Lime and salt the rims to taste. Enjoy!

Two Ginger Gems is back, bigger, slightly longer, and now dropping every fortnight on Fabulous Friday at Five. It's been a huge week: the Emmys kicked off Monday with Dancing with the Stars nominated for the first time in a decade, and on Tuesday and Wednesday came the two-night Season 35 premiere which absolutely smashed the ratings, including a standout moment from Kate's favorite, Maura Higgins, that James missed because he was running between three productions at once. The American civilian edition of The Traitors also premiered on NBC and James is already hooked. Then there's the sad farewell to Dolly Parton, and James has a story about holding her hand on the Dancing with the Stars dance floor that will make your heart burst. Fall film season looks incredible: I Play Rocky, Digger with Tom Cruise, Wild Nine Horse, and Tenzing are all on the radar. Widows Bay swept the Emmys with 14 wins. Kate has strong feelings about Sydney Sweeney, Project 2025 and women in sport. And the new tarot deck makes its debut...The Wandering Star by Kat Pierce. Good news and communication, everyone. The Gems are back.

This week on Two Ginger Gems, it's still intercontinental. Kate and Mikki back in Hollywood, James in a heatwave in Derby. England beat Mexico in what was one of the best games of the tournament, Norway was stressful, and now they're facing Argentina in the semi-final with the fate of the nation on the line. James finally meets his Queen, Anne Mitchell, Dolly Rawlings from Widows, 40 years in the making, at a matinee in London. The Wes Anderson evening at the Hollywood Bowl was an absolute beautiful mess. Madonna becomes the first female US artist to have number one albums in five consecutive decades, the Rolling Stones release a new single, Line of Duty gets an urgent classic TV recommendation, and the tarot card this week is The Master. Kate thinks it means England are winning the World Cup.
