I have been taking notes from this thread, and have two or three things that I intend to try out (including the pie crust). Thanks to everyone for the good ideas.
My favorite cocktail is something that I made up myself. However, I expect that it probably exists already under a different name. It consists of:
- one part blueberry vodka
- one part cranberry juice
- two parts pink lemonade
- (optional) a splash of blueberry liquor
I just added the last ingredient last night. It seemed to go well. The whole thing can be served with ice, particularly on a hot day.
I have been slow posting this because I am a bit concerned that my name for it might be politically incorrect. The first two ingredients and the optional blueberry liquor to me are pretty obvious “New England” specialties, and that is where we live. The pink lemonade to me is sort of southern. The entire drink is refreshing, but has a bit of a “sweet” taste to it. The obvious name for the drink is therefore “New England Sweety”.
