National Geographic Channel – Doomsday Preppers Sex on the Beach
For a special Valentines ep of “Doomsday Preppers,” Nat Geo asked what alcoholic beverage would Americans 21 or older most like to sip if the end was near. Sex on the Beach was the cocktail of choice, so to promote direct tune-in it sent personalized letters with the cocktail recipe, a beach pail and the ingredients for the drink to select journos. Not that we’re partial to press promos involving alcoholic themes, but… we kinda are, actually. But we look on the bright side: At least we’ll be prepared for anything. Even zombies.
