Happy #BoozeAndABook Day!
To celebrate, hereis a drink recipie that I think would go very well with The Dark Side of the Glass or Triptych, if that’s what you’re reading.
Don’t forget to post pictures of yourself enjoying your favourite beverage – boozy or not, as you choose! – and your favourite book on Tumblr or Twitter (or wherever!). Use hashtag #BoozeAndABook
Vampire’s Revenge
by Darlene Michaud
3/4 ounce Absolut vodka
1/2 ounce Jose Cuervo gold tequila
3/4 ounce Jagermeister liqueur
1 ounce grenadine syrup
Splash of raspberry liqueur
Maraschino cherry
Ice cubes
Shake all ingredients (except the raspberry liqueur) in a cocktail shaker with 3 or 4 ice cubes and strain into a chilled martini glass. Add a splash of raspberry liqueur on the top. Garnish with a maraschino cherry.
Midnight Kiss (From an Alien)
40ml vodka
10ml blue curacao
1 tsp lemon juice
Champagne to fill the rest of the glass.
As I dislike lemon juice, I’d add a splash of gingerale.
1/2 oz strawberry schnapps
1 oz light rum
1 oz lime juice
1 tsp powdered sugar
1 oz strawberries
Kalp, of course, uses Osaps instead of strawberries (and rather a lot of them), but as they’re not available on Earth, add a blueberry or three to the mix, and a few raspberrys, just to get the sweet-tart combination.
