Wonderland Challenge 2020

Drink Me

         PROMPT: Create a new drink from your imagination, appealing or not to readers.

         

         

         

         Me create a new drink? I must confess I've never considered this before. I do enjoy the fun names given to various cocktail-type beverages. During a memorable sojourn in Cuba, I discovered a delicious concoction known as Sex On the Beach. Now, I wish to taste its cousin, Sex In a Snowbank. What crossed the mind of the creator of Fuzzy Navel? Is there a real Harvey Wallbanger?

         Since this segment of the challenge is titled Down the Rabbit Hole, I think it's only fitting to create a drink in its honour and as its namesake. It has to be dark and disorienting. Perhaps, it should be based on dark rum. Adding a bit of sediment type stuff would make it more lifelike.

         Okay, here is Down the Rabbit Hole, a drink designed not for the faint of heart. Its ingredients are: dark rum, chocolate liqueur, chocolate sprinkles, with a sprig of mini white marshmallows.

         I am not a mixologist nor a drink wizard. I suspect that would require a certain amount of eye-hand coordination and basic balance. Yes, I am tipsy even before imbibing. I slosh and stumble at the best of times.

         To properly prepare my drink creation, I propose attending a swanky hotel with a suitably mellow bar and a handsome bartender ensconced therein. The lighting will be subdued, no disco ball-crystal chandelier- stab-the-eyes brightness. Maybe this establishment will be known to its laid back clientele as the Wonderland. We all crave a watering hole we can disappear in.
