This Week’s Recipe: Grenadine

Inspiration: As I’ve written about before, I’ve got a stupid allergy to sulfur, and it pops up in the strangest places. The newest substance to contain this bright yellow chemical element — grenadine!

Since it called for in many drinks, I’d resigned myself to a series of disappointing Malibu Sunrises, Bomb Pops, and Cherry Bombs…

…Until, surprise, surprise, a book came to the rescue!

In Tequila Mockingbird, it had a recipe for grenadine! Which is dead simple to concoct and lasts for ages.

(BTW – these literary punny drinks are a lot of fun to make and drink. Plus, the book gives additional recipes for mocktails and some interesting recipes for accompanying nibbles — all still literarily themed. Tequila Mockingbird would make a great gift to someone who loves reading and the occasional libation!)

Christie: This reminds me of Miss Marple (as portrayed by Geraldine McEwan) from the television when she made her own sweet sherry. And while I won’t give out bottles of grenadine as presents, it still reminds me of our beloved sleuth!
