Fans of Bridgerton recently learned that season two will become
a reality on March 25th of this year. If you happen to be such a fan, the wait
will no doubt seem interminable. To ease the pain, let me introduce you to this
delightful companion book, The Regency Book
of Drinks, Quaffs, Quips, Tipples, and Tales from Grosvenor Square by Lady Thornwood a.k.a. author Amy Finley. It is a
charming and beautifully illustrated book on proper cocktails, all with a
Bridgerton leaning.
I chose to make the cocktail known as “Sordid Tale,” and was not disappointed.
It’s a pimped out Bloody Mary made extra special via the addition of olive
juice. I employed the use of alcohol in mine. Yum! Yum!
Sordid Tale
For 2
16 oz. tomato juice
2 oz. hot sauce
1 oz. Worcestershire sauce
1 - 2 t. prepared horseradish
1 - 2 oz. tamari
1 - 2 oz. green
olive or capers brine
Mix in a small pitcher, adjusting ingredients to taste. Serve over 1-inch ice
cubes in highball glasses, garnished with a lemon wedge and several green olives
impaled on a skewer. If one’s m’lady is grieved to the point that spirits are
required, add 2 ounces gin to each glass.
Disclaimer: I received a complimentary copy of The Regency Book of Drinks from Abrams Books as a part of the Abrams Dinner Party Program for 2021-22.
Fascinating concoction! Don’t know as I’d like it but I’d give it a try.
