There's just over 6 days left [as I write this] - whoo hoo - until The Cold Kiss of Death :: Spellcrackers.com book 2 :: is released. And two exciting things happened today! 1.

I'm forever getting poked by my friends & boyfriend to try various drinks that they think I will like. It's not that I don't drink, really, I just don't like drink - which I guess comes to the same thing ;-)
The only non-alcoholic cocktail I've tried is one I really loved - I think it might have been called Jamaica Juice, but I've no idea. Half orange juice, half pineapple, and a dash of grenadine. Tasty *g*

So does the book come out on the 16th? Or the 17th?

16th, but it's appeared already in some places :-) Jamaica Juice sounds great!

Oh, Cocktails, there's something that goes well with a good book.

My favourites are a Harvey Wallbanger - part Vodka, part Galliano, top up with (preferably fresh) Orange juice.

And the Brazilian favourite, the Caipirinha.
* 5.0 cl (1⅔ fl oz) cachaça
* ½ Fresh Lime cut into 4 wedges
* 4 teaspoons Muscovado sugar

Though there is a local variant in a town called Foz of a Batida/Caipirinha that is:
lime, sugar,ice, cachaca and white rum/vodka.
An all together lethal concoction for any unsuspecting tourist.

Great recipie, and the Foz of A Batida/Caipirinha sounds [lethally] fab *g*

nomnomnom - I sometimes have that without the grenadine :-) Does that qualify as a White Russian? *makes note to check*

Black Russian = 5 parts Vodka, 2 parts Kahlua
Tall black Russian = As above except topped off with Coke Cola.

A White Russian is the same as the Tall black Russian except you use Milk, Cream or Bailey's to top it off.

Midori Sour.

And the book depository is shipping preorders already? I am heading over right now to get it. I liked the first one, want to read what happens next.
