Dave and Chris are joined by Rachel Khong to take the lemons life gave them and make a lemon-pod. In this episode, the Recipe Club is gifted a delicious ice cream creation from listeners Maggie and Geoffrey Litt, who were so inspired by Season 2's darling, the Margarita Sangria, that they came up with their "Lemon Darty Ice Cream Party," which came with not just a recipe, but a companion cocktail (required to be consumed prior to starting) and strict addenda for the cooks to follow.

Chris is joined by Rachel Khong and John deBary to discuss watermelon. Do seeded ones taste better? How do you pick a good one? This episode’s recipe is for a delightful drink called mohabbat ka sharbat—a refreshing floral concoction of watermelon juice, rose syrup, and whole milk. Rachel had to make it in less than 20 minutes. John, completely in his wheelhouse, made a luxe version (the ice cubes he made were $4 each, and it gets crazier). Chris had to tackle the “Double Taxation” challenge by making one of the ingredients completely by hand and also fusing it with Mexican flavors.
