Six Drinks to Rule Them All ...

[frabjousdave]

For our upcoming Hobbit Party, I want to concoct six drinks to share with guests throughout the day. I'd like to link them to each of the three Lord of the Rings movies, which we'll be screening downstairs while the rest of the party goes on upstairs and in the game room. Here's what I'm thinking so far:

I would think Entmoot would be a type of punch, because it must serve a group. I would think some variation on Rhine Wine Punch might be about right:

4 oz brandy
4 oz maraschino liqueur
3 quarts Rhine wine (it's a sweet German white)
1 quart sparkling water
1/2 pound fine grain sugar
2 Tablespoons tea leaves
Ice
Fruit garnish

I think the instructions are pretty obvious; the cookbook I'm working from has you tie up the tea leaves in cheesecloth and soak in the cold mixture for 10 minutes. One might point out that 2 or 3 teabags might do the trick just as well.

That is an awesome suggestion. It's now at the top of my shopping list.

OK, now I'm REALLY jealous. *pouts*

I'm trying to coordinate a viewing with some people here; once you get a drinks menu planned, would you share the recipes? Not that they'll be nearly as good without your mad skillz... ;)

[frabjousdave]

Of course I shall. Maybe we should set up web cams. :)

[tellitslant]

Hahaha! I'm almost tempted. ;)

[frabjousdave]

"Almost?" That means you're already tempted, just not yet committed. :)

For the Eye of Sauron any orange cocktail with a red cherry in it should work wonders!

I was thinking of adding something very like that, with a sliver of a pupil drawn on, to the soulpatch. :)

I have no suggestions, but I would be willing to drink all of them. For Frodo!

Goddam! If I lived closer I'd be BEGGING for an invite! Of course, after the party you'd have to pour me in a bucket and toss me out the back door...
