Good call on the Raspberry Cordial. What about Joie – from the Kushiel series: “Joie, a type of clear cordial similar to ice wine, is drunk on the Longest Night. D’Angelines consume small glasses of it and say to each other, ‘Joy to you on the Longest Night.'” and also described as, “a clear, heady liquor distilled from a white mountain flower. It tastes like champagne but is roughly as powerful as vodka.”
Absolutely! I got another vote for that on Twitter this morning, and it sounds wonderful! :D
Cardamom Tea, from Saladin Ahmed’s Throne of the Crescent Moon!
Oh, that sounds amazing! I LOVE cardamom!
Moloko Plus from A Clockwork Orange
I was re-reading Dune last night – what about Spice Beer?
Or for that matter, WATER OF LIFE
