A to Z Blog Challenge 2021 Cocktails For You: From the Letter F

Posted bySusanne MatthewsPosted inUncategorized

Wow! Hard to believe it’s Hump Day already. When I was working, Wednesdays were the turning point of the week. Now, that I work at home and especially since the pandemic, all the days tend to blend together.

Today’s letter F cocktail is called the French Connection, not because of ancestry, but after a movie in the 70s that featured Gene hackman as Popeye Doyle.

No one knows who invented the drink, but it’s an easy one to make, albeit a sweet drink, but ideal for sipping late at night.

In the past, I’ve often enjoyed this cocktail in the evening. The fruity notes of the cognac blend well with the sweet almond taste.

Make It Your Own

Ingredients

2 oz cognac

1 oz Amaretto

Method:

Add a large ice cube to the glass

Pour cognac over the ice

Add Amaretto

Enjoy!

I’ve given some thought to this and my French Connection romance will deal with an ancestral search that leads to interesting and humorous findings.

Join me again tomorrow as we discover the cocktail behind the letter G

Hi! I live in Eastern Ontario. I'm married with three adult children and five wonderful grandchildren. I prefer warm weather, and sunshine but winter gives me time to write. If I’m listening to music, it will be something from the 1960s or 1970s. I enjoy action movies, romantic comedies, but I draw the line at slasher flicks and horror. I love science fiction and fantasy as well. I love to read; I immerse myself in the text and, as my husband says, the house could fall down around me, and I’d never notice. My preferences are as varied as there are genres, but nothing really beats a good romance, especially one that is filled with suspense. I love historical romance too, and have read quite a few of those. If I’m watching television, you can count on it being a suspense — I’m not a fan of reality TV, sit-coms, or game shows. Writing gives me the most pleasure. I love creating characters that become real and undergo all kinds of adventures. It never ceases to amaze me how each character can take on its own unique personality; sometimes, they grow very different from the way I pictured them! Inspiration comes from all around me; imagination has no bounds. If I can think it, imagine it, I can write it!
