The Patriotic Cocktail

Warning: Imbibing this drink may cause you to suddenly want to buy illegal fireworks and drape everything in stars and stripes or crave hot tea and talk about the weather depending on which continent you’re on when you taste it. Drink responsibly.

1 oz grenadine

3 oz lemonade

1 oz vodka

1 oz blue curacao

Add grenadine to a glass then fill with ice. In a shaker filled with ice, shake lemonade and vodka then gently pour the mixture over the back of a spoon into the glass, creating the white layer of the drink.  This will sit on top of the grenadine. Cascade blue curacao over the back of a spoon to make the final blue layer.

About the Hosts

Molly is an American-born British author who resides near the ocean in picturesque Cornwall with her hunky British husband, bubbly daughter, and their moody Jack Russell, Milo. She knew she wanted to be an author from the day she first read A Wrinkle in Time when she was a child, and she grew up inspired by authors such as J. R. R. Tolkien, Philip Pullman, Garth Nix, and Dennis Lehane (the ultimate master of plot twists). It has always been her dream to become a published author, and it is her hope to expand into multiple genres of fiction.

Rebecca is an American author who resides in the bucolic hills of West Virginia in the heart of Appalachia with her rugged husband, two hilarious daughters, and a small congress of animals. As you can see, she's fond of pretty words and has been since preschool. This is also probably why she wanted to be an author after reading Catherine Called Birdy when she was ten. This was the book that taught her how to say cuss words in a creative manner. Rebecca has two published short stories in the science-fiction and urban fantasy genres and plans to write full-length projects in the near future. She one day hopes to be able to add "multi-genre author" to her list of career titles.
