Drink Me. Just as Alice found herself in outrageous adventures after falling down the rabbit hole and drinking the magical tonic, so shall we.
Alice: [drinks from bottle] Mmm… tastes like cherry tart.
[shrinks down]
Alice: Grapefruit.
[shrinks down]
Alice: Pineapple.
[shrinks down]
Alice: Roast turkey.
[now at minimum size]
Alice: Goodness! What did I do?
Doorknob: You almost went out like a candle!
Alice: Why, look! I’m just the right size!
Doorknob: No use. I forgot to tell you. I’m locked!
Alice: Oh no!
Doorknob: But of course, you’ve got the key, so…
Alice: What key?
Doorknob: Now, don’t tell me you’ve left it up there!
Wanderlush Diary, the newest travel blog on Wanderlust & Lipstick, is dedicated to sipping, toasting, and wassailing around the globe. Beth calls it liquid travels. With an unquenchable thirst for cultural clues, examining the local ‘potion’ and the rituals around it bring enlightenment and more often than not, a tasty treat as well.
Sharing a drink, or a cup of tea as Alice tries to do with the Mad Hatter, is a simple, inexpensive way to facilitate a friendship internationally. Despite apparent cultural barriers, it can unlock a moment of human connection in the form of a shared laugh or maybe even an impromptu dance.
Mad Hatter: Do you care for tea?
Alice: Why, yes. I’m very fond of tea.
March Hare: If you don’t care for tea, you could at least make polite conversation!
To prepare you for the weekend, each Thursday, the Wanderlush Diary will include cocktail/mocktail recipes, watering hole recommends, tippling tales, and reviews of my favorite beverage products.
Raising my pink bubbly-filled flute to salute our many down-the-rabbit-hole spirited Wanderlush Diary adventures to come.
In honor of Alice’s animal affinity, stay tuned to discover baah-licious Goat Bubbles.
Alice: When I get home I shall write a book about this place… If I ever do get home.
