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

Posted bySusanne MatthewsPosted inUncategorized

Well, we’ve made it to the end of the third week.Yesterday was William Shakespeare’s birthday. I spent most of my teaching career as an English teacher and teaching Shakespeare’s plays were the highlight of my school year. While we usually focused on his tragedies, I loved the comedies. Twelfth Night was a particular favorite.

Today’s cocktail is brought to you by the letter U and one I’m sure Sir Toby would enjoy.

It’s also one that brings my grandkids to mind. My granddaughter, Eleni, was crazy about all things horse related, but she had a particular fondness for unicorns which she called hornekin. Why? I have no idea, but purple hornekin was her favorite! Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you, the Meet the Unicorn.

Make It Your Own

Ingredients

1 dash Midori Melon Liqueur
1 part Vodka

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!
