Whether you're an author or not, you've heard it before: All authors drink.
But what do they drink?
The
Sour Green Apple Martini
By
Anne Lange
A
few years ago, during a business trip, myself and a couple of colleagues
decided to hit a Vodka bar. We had
nothing better to do ;)
Let’s just say it was one of the best nights, because I
was introduced to the vodka martini. Never had one before. I didn’t know what I
was missing. You know, they go down…reaaaaalllll easy. And you can have one anywhere. They’re
fantastic by the pool, as a pre-dinner drink, with friends. They’re an all season
drink. Just so versatile. :)
At this Vodka Bar we had martinis of various flavors,
appetizers and mini sandwiches that had vodka in their somewhere and then some
pierogies in a divine cherry vodka sauce. And of course we finished it off with
some martini shooters.
Then we went to a jazz bar and had more martinis. There, I had my first sour green apple martini.
OMG. I fell in love. I can’t really tell
you how many I had. I’ll just say, the next day was little rough. Okay, more
than a little rough. But it was well worth it.
This fabulous little drink can be gone in seconds, it’s that good.
Which, I guess accounts for the rough following day.
There are plenty of ways to make this little baby, so I
thought I’d share three of the variations with you.

A new League Series (Book 1)
Can an injured ex ball player
convince the woman he wakes up married to in Las Vegas to take a second chance
on him?
After spending the last four months drowning his sorrows over the end of
his baseball career, Jack Bishop finds himself winging through the blue skies
to Las Vegas, not so ready to spend the weekend with some woman his best friend
set him up with. He expects a paid escort. What he gets is the woman he
walked away from ten years ago to pursue his passion, and she’s not very happy
to see him.
Devyn Tate believes she’s quite capable of finding somebody to take her
out to dinner. She’s no longer looking for a lifelong promise. She has a commitment
only to her battery-operated toy to fulfill that particular need. Yet her
friends have managed to talk her into spending the weekend in Las Vegas, on a
blind date of all things. They promise the guy is trustworthy. They insist that
she should have fun. Unfortunately, fun is not what she envisions when she
discovers Jack Bishop lying on the floor of her suite in nothing but his
underwear that’s on backward, and she has a wedding ring on her finger.
