Ooooooh! Can I please get: 'Pink Lady' for Iranda or Nocturna, 'Amber Moon' for Aaron and 'Blood Orange' for Dread Wing?

[strongheartmaid.livejournal.com]

sure and ugh.. I wouldn't drink an "Amber Moon" if you paid me

The ingredients to an "Amber Moon"
3 US fluid ounces (89 ml) whiskey or vodka
1 raw egg
Tabasco sauce, to taste

[lovelykitta.livejournal.com]

Oh damn. Going from the name I thought it had bourbon in it.

[strongheartmaid.livejournal.com]

ditto
but looking up the drink, yeah, I could see the drink working for Aaron:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amber_Moon
key words: hair of the dog" hangover remedy. - since we both have Aaron as weak against alcohol

Pink Lady - Iranda

[strongheartmaid.livejournal.com]

Iranda ran a finger over the rim of her glass absently, her thoughts distant that night. One of the people aboard the vessel thought she might enjoy the drink but, she let out a small sigh. She wasn't sure if it was because of the fact that it was reference to her since she did wear a pink dress [which was getting to be impractical for life here. There was yet another tear from where it got caught in those sliding doors] or the fact well, it was reportedly a "girly drink".

She sighed again and picked it up. She sipped the drink slowly, almost wincing at the sweetness. Oh, definitely not her kind of drink, but, she couldn't afford to be rude.

Nice!

Re: Pink Lady - Iranda

[strongheartmaid.livejournal.com]

thanks :)

Amber Moon - Aaron, Joshua

[strongheartmaid.livejournal.com]

Joshua winced sympathetically as Aaron dropped into his chair, a soft moan escaping him. Well, he had warned Aaron earlier that he never should try to outdrink the chief rivethead but did he listen, nope. No, not at all - and here Aaron was suffering, a mere three hours before his impending wedding.

"The things I do for you," Joshua said with a sigh as he rummaged about the kitchen, looking for the tabasco sauce, his good vodka and an egg. He remembered his father telling him about the "amber moon" [and him thinking it had something to do with being a dragonator until he saw his father making a drink and informing Joshua that *this* was an amber moon] and he *hoped* it was just the thing that would get Aaron somewhat sober.

"Here," he said after he mixed the drink and shoved it in front of Aaron.

"Wuz zat?" Aaron slurred.

"Less talking, more drinking," Joshua said. "And let's hope "hair of the dog" hangover cures work or Iranda's going to have both our asses."

[Amber Moon: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amber_Moon - the page]

[lovelykitta.livejournal.com]

Hahahahahah! Let me guess, stag party gone wrong?

Blood and Sand - Dread Wing

[strongheartmaid.livejournal.com]

AN: Of course, I can't find anything for what a "Blood Orange" is so I decided to make it a "Blood and Sand" instead: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_and_Sand_(cocktail)

Dread settled back on his throne, a deep red drink in his hand. He brought the drink up to his mouth, his golden eyes closing as the slight hint of cherries assaulted his senses before it was whisked away by the pleasant burn of the scotch as it made its way down his throat. A pleased sigh escaped him and he opened his eyes. He gestured to the nearest serving girl to refill his drink for him before he got back to business.

He could only hope that this drink would get him pleasantly drunk enough so it would make life easier when dealing with some of these elder mutants who really needed to retire or make hearing the reports of how they lost [yet again] to the accursed Dragon Flyz.

"Mother Night, I need another drink," he groaned to himself.

Re: Blood and Sand - Dread Wing

[lovelykitta.livejournal.com]

Nice one!

Also, I found a recipe for a Blood Orange margarita at least: http://whiteonricecouple.com/recipes/blood-orange-margarita/

[lovelykitta.livejournal.com]

Can I please get: Blue Lagoon for Nocturna and a Sake Bomb for either Z'neth or Dark Wing?

[strongheartmaid.livejournal.com]

sure :)

and heh - the Sake Bomb might be interesting for Dark Wing ::ponders::

Sake Bomb - Dark Wing/Attor

[strongheartmaid.livejournal.com]

Attor had his eyes closed, a mug of beer [if that's what it could be called - he didn't know why he remembered the human drink but he did] set in front of him. He heard some movement, as if something was being set on top. He opened his golden eyes slowly and saw a pair of wooden sticks and a small shot glass of something settled on them.

Oh, by the Celestial Dragon, what was Fryte planning now? "Fryte.." he began, a small warning tone to his voice.

Fryte merely smirked before bringing his hands down onto the table, the force of the blow flipping the shot glass and emptying the contents into the mug.

Attor fixed Fryte with a glare before sipping his drink. There was an unfamiliar taste to the beer now and he wasn't quite sure..

"Slowly," a soft female voice said, a musical accent to her voice. "You want to savour the taste of the sake."

He gave a half laugh and purposely slowed down for her. "Better?" he asked, sipping the sake slowly.

"Much," she said, moving to sit next to him. She gently laid her head on his shoulder and let out a gentle sigh.

"So, the introduction to the sake was for..?" he asked, stroking her long hair.

"San-san-kudo," she answered, smiling. "It's part of a wedding ceremony for my mother's people."

"Ah," he said. "So, we both drink, yes?"

She nodded and curled up closer...

Attor shook his head. That memory.. He slammed the rest of his drink and stood up slowly, stalking out. Damn the Dragon Flyz for stealing his mate away from him. He would get her back.

[lovelykitta.livejournal.com]

....Now I'm more curious as to how Fryte knew how to prepare that....

Blue Lagoon - Nocturna, Fryte

[strongheartmaid.livejournal.com]

Nocturna stared at the drink, poking the glass with a wary finger. "It's ..blue.." she said slowly, looking at her drinking companion. "Why is it blue?"

"One of the ingredients is blue?" Fryte offered, holding up the bottle of said blue ingredient.

"Do I even want to know where you found that?" she asked, shuddering a little. Surely it came from Gangryn's lab - it was the only explanation for it.

Fryte picked up the bottle again, silently examining it as if to tease forth the memory of when and where he retrieved it. "A raid, not that long ago," he offered with a shrug. "It's safe, Nocturna. What would I gain out of poisoning you?"

Nocturna said nothing and just sipped her drink, her eyes widening at the unexpected taste before a soft contented sigh escaped her.

[lovelykitta.livejournal.com]

Ooooooh!

[lovelykitta.livejournal.com]

Just to mix it up a little, and to leave Ry some good choices, can I get either a Roy Rogers or a Pisco Sour for Peak?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Rogers_%28cocktail%29

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pisco_Sour#Different_variations

[strongheartmaid.livejournal.com]

Sure :)

Roy Rogers - Peak, Z'neth

[strongheartmaid.livejournal.com]

AN: pre-series, Peak's not a dragonator yet.

Peak entered the kitchen, rubbing the sleep from his eyes when he spotted his favorite sibling sitting at the table, nursing something. "I thought you said you weren't supposed to drink?" Peak asked as he unceremoniously dropped into the chair next to him.

Z'neth looked up from the depths of the glass he was studying. "I did. Why?"

"So, why are you drinking that?" Peak huffed. He didn't want to snitch on his big brother but Papa said that Z'neth shouldn't be drinking after what happened the last time.

Z'neth smirked a little and pushed the drink over to his little brother. "Take a whiff."

Peak dutifully took a small whiff of his brother's drink and blinked in surprise at the smell. "That smells like Coke."

"That's because it is, Phillip," he said, ruffling his little brother's hair. "It's a Roy Rogers. Want one?"

Peak nodded rapidly, pleased that Big Z was letting him have a big boy drink.

Z'neth rose from his seat and grabbed the bottle of Coke and grenadine and settled down to make his little brother a glass.

Peak took the finished glass from his big brother and sipped it slowly.

Re: Roy Rogers - Peak, Z'neth

[lovelykitta.livejournal.com]

Cute, but how old is Peak in this?

[lovelykitta.livejournal.com]

To poke some life back into this one, can I please get "Paradise" for Aaron/Iranda?

[strongheartmaid.livejournal.com]

Sure!

Paradise - Aaron/Iranda

[strongheartmaid.livejournal.com]

Iranda stared at her husband of less than a year and let out a wearied sigh. The mantra of "I love my husband" was the only thing that was keeping her from throttling him. He knew he couldn't handle alcohol so why he had the brilliant idea of drinking was beyond her. "Aaron," she said, trying and failing to keep the snap out of it.

He glanced at her, a dopey smile on his face. "Iranda."

She pointed at the drink, an eyebrow arching.

"It's called Paradise," he said. "I felt it ..fitting.."

"Oh?" Iranda asked, curious despite her best intentions to remain annoyed with her husband.

"I.. may have found a true paradise."

Ooooooh?
