We're back with a brand new fun-filled drunken night of fic, art and frivolity! Join us here at firewhiskeyfic on October 1, beginning at 4pm EDT! Prompts and further details will be posted a week before!
A banner to share (or save the image if you want to share elsewhere).
I am so boring, I wish I could help you (although when googling sleepy hollow images to use, I found there were several cocktail iterations that used the name, maybe one of them?) but I wish you luck on finding the perfect drink!
Yes, start making those Mules tonight! Think of it as practice for Firewhiskey Fic. To quote something from due South canon: "The Five Ps -- Proper Preparation Prevents Poor Performance."
My favorite early fall drink is microwaving some cider (2/3 of the glass?), then adding a bourbon-type booze and grating some cinnamon on top (or dunking a cinnamon stick in if I'm feeling fancy). How much bourbon should be added? Idk, how much you got?
(Bourbon+cider+cinnamon is also good iced instead! Depends on the weather.)
I have one near me but my guess is it's because of the type of alcohol? They only have beer and wine at the grocery stores, everything else is at the ABC. D:
After I replied, I thought about how I might need to explain but had to jump up. LOL Anyway, all grocery stores (including convenience stores) in Virginia can only sell beer and wine (and other malt beverages like hard seltzers and wine coolers). All "hard liquor" can only be purchased at a Virginia ABC which stands for Alcoholic Beverage Control. So your vodka, rum, gin and things like Baileys or Pennsylvania Dutch Pumpkin Cream Liqueur. I might try that one. LOL
It's also annoying because you have to buy your hard liquor at a special store that sells NONE of the things that you also need to make cocktails. GRR!
Oh seriously??? We have special liquor stores (called package stores in my neck of the woods) but they also sell plenty of mixers to go along with them. I guess they just want y'all to do shots!
I think ours have like club soda or tonic water in small bottles. Maybe stuff like grenadine. Then again, I just assume I'll have to go elsewhere so I don't really look. LOL
This is awesome! So I completely forgot to ask off that night and I work 5pm-10pm my time. LOL. BUT I'm off the next day. So my plan is to come home, drink a glass of wine, and write a wee thing before I pass out!
Bummer you have to work!!! But that does sound like a good plan. There are also definitely people who come late/stay late so hopefully you won't be lonely. :D

Date: 2022-09-10 02:08 am (UTC)This is probably why I just started mixing my vodka with other things I could get at the ABC -- like Bailey's. 🤣

Date: 2022-09-10 02:09 am (UTC)It's also why I've been out of Baileys for months. Too fucking lazy to go get more.
