OOC: Blompasmic

[sythyry]

[I am completely at a loss about how to translate the 'Blompasmic', which is some sort of a cocktail currently popular in Kismirth. Can you describe it? Here's all I actually know about it: (1) It is alcoholic. (2) Tourists drink them in great numbers. (3) They taste reasonably good. Earth-equivalent recipes appreciated. Thanks!]

May I humbly suggest some variation of the Hurricane? The history of drink as a fruity solution to a practical problem very much aligns it squarely with Kismirth's nature, and gives plenty of opportunity for localisation.

That was going to be my suggestion too. :)

Two others that might come into play: the Mai Tai, and the Long Island Iced Tea. But given the setting, the Hurricane seems to fit best. And it can be modified in so very many fruity ways!

And apparently, having known nothing about a Hurricane, I accidentally mix one. *blush*

Isn't that how new cocktails happen, though? Someone mixes a few things, discovers they taste nice and puts a stupid name on it.

I now await the Kismirth version of Spring Break...

Some mixture of the following.

Crushed Ice
Cherry Schnapps
Limeaid
Coconut Rum

Given that Kismirth's culture is largely derived from Veshrame, how about a Sidecar cocktail (essentially a brandy margarita) made from Ulvark aged in the Quick Quarter, and lemons and oranges grown within the internal farm space?

Another possibility: a brandy alexander again made from Ulvark, but with a dark choclate liquor in place of the creme de cacoa, because I but mushroom+honery+dark choclate would be awesome

Third possibility: a completely non-alcholic cocktail, like a Shirley Temple or a Roy Rogers that exists solely for people to blame their transffection trysts on ("Honey, I swear I'm not traff! I just blacked out from too many Blompasmics and woke up in bed with the Orren!")
