Cocktail Hour
May. 17th, 2020 05:59 pmGuy Gavriel Kay put out a call on Twitter a couple of days ago for a "virtual cocktail hour" starting at 4:30 ET on Saturday. We were all encouraged to post pictures of ourselves with a drink of our choice, and were encouraged to dress up nicely. Unlike Guy, I do not own a tuxedo, but I did the best that I could.
( Cleaning Up Nicely )
But what to drink? I don't like the taste of alcohol, so what sort of "mocktail" could I make? With a nudge from Cheryl Morgan, I found a mixed drink I find I like.
( A New Vice )
I discovered that this non-alcoholic (and in this case sugar-free except for the fruit) drink was quite nice and I think I'll be drinking it more often. I might even get some lime cordial that appears to be also part of the recipe. Not sure about the bitters, even though it is still considered to be nominally a "soft" drink with only a dash of them. Maybe I'll try the "full" version sometime when I'm somewhere with access to all of the ingredients and feeling slightly adventurous. I know that it's a good thing that wasn't an alcoholic drink, because if it had been, I would have been sloshed to the gills given how many of them I drank once I discovered how much I liked it.
