A to Z Challenge Blog 2021 Cocktails A to Z From the letter L

Posted bySusanne MatthewsPosted inUncategorized

Welcome to another day in this year’s challenge. I’ve enjoyed your comments and posts from others attempting the challenge this year. Here’s hoping you’re all healthy and as happy as can be given the way things are.

Going to do something a little different this morning. Remember the good old days? As Doc would say, “Marty stay away from 2020-2021!”

I’ve been a fan of Michael J Fox from his earliest television days, but my favorite movies of his are the Back to the Future ones, and The American President. He has battled adversity and is one of our Canadian shining lights.

So what do Michael J. Fox and Johnny B. Goode have to do with today and the letter L? Well, today’s cocktail is called Lady Be Good. It seemed like a natural! I love white creme de menthe.

Make it Your Own

Ingredients

2 oz Brandy
1/2 oz White Creme de Menthe
1/2 oz Sweet Vermouth

Mix It

In a mixing glass filled with ice, stir all ingredients.
Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.

Garnish with a cherry and and serve.

Enjoy!

Now, this seems like a very promising book title. Looking forward to letting the creative juices flow!

Come back tomorrow for a peek at what you’ll get from the letter M.

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!
