Hi Friends! We here at Library Love Fest are working on implementing a new blog feature and we need your help with a critical element: naming our mascot. Isn't he dapper??
The new feature will be called Books, Booze and _____________, and with his help we will bring you new books to enjoy whilst sipping on some delicious drinks (of the adult variety). To keep with the alliteration, we are looking for B names only, but feel free to explore your creative side. Contest ends at 5pm on Thursday, April 28. The winner will receive a copy of How To Booze by Jordan Kaye, but just so you are all winners, here is an awesome old school recipe for punch from the South Carolina Historical Society (disclaimer: LLF is not responsible for any and all actions taken while imbibing in said punch).
"The necessary ingredients are two bottles of brandy, one bottle of Jamaica Rum, one half-bottle of Curacoa [sic] Cordial, one quart-bottle green tea (not strong), the juice of one dozen lemons, two and a half to three pounds of sugar.
Dissolve the sugar in the tea, and add the lemon juice, then pour the other ingredients in indiscriminately. A large lump of ice should be placed in the punch-bowl, but not until just before serving, as a melting of the ice weakens and harms the flavor of the punch.
That familiar motto seen at all railroad crossings, "Stop, Look, Listen" is very appropriate to a bowl of this punch, as it is pleasant to the taste, but very insidious in its effects."
ENJOY!
