RETURN OF THE SWORDSPOINT COCKTAIL?

[ellen_kushner]

I take this opportunity to inform you of the Great Books Cocktail Challenge from my public radio colleague Kurt Anderson:

FUZZY NOVEL:  STUDIO 360's Cocktail Challenge!  
Send us an original recipe for a new cocktail named after a classic work of literature.

Hmmm.... the jacket copy calls Swordspoint a "classic" . . . . and we've already got a bunch

Anyone have any ideas for a PRIVILEGE OF THE SWORD beverage?

Or is it just the Swordspoint, but with a pink plastic sword in it?

Just don't put a cherry on it.

I shall have to rush over to my local Tiki bar this afternoon (What, you mean some people don't have a local tiki bar? Tragic.) and consult the magicians.

It certainly won't be pink, or have a small plastic sword. A large one, perhaps...

On consultation with the Magicians, who didn't die off 200 years ago, it was suggested that, at least in later life, Katherine would be drinking single malt Scotch, probably a Campbelltown. As for the book- a variant on the Manhattan:
2 oz brandy, cognac or better
1/2 oz sweet vermouth
2-3 dashes Peychaud's bitters

I think she'd like that very much!

I know I would ;)
