Subject: QOTD for Thursday, May 19, 2022. From “A Breath of Snow and Ashes” written by Diana Gabaldon


Chapter 6
Ambush


Roger leaned forward and sniffed at his offspring’s red-stained lips.
“Cherry Bounce, at a guess. There’s a vat of it, round by the barn.”

“Holy God!” She’d never drunk Cherry Bounce, but Mrs Bug had told her how to make it: “Tak’ the juice of a bushel o’ cherries, dissolve twenty-four pound o’ sugar over it, then ye put it into a forty-gallon cask and fill it up wi’ whisky,”

“He’s all right.” Roger patted her arm. “Is that Germain over there?”

“It is.” She leaned over to check, but Germain was peacefully asleep, also smiling. “That Cherry Bounce must be good stuff.”

Roger laughed.

“It’s terrible. Like industrial-strength cough syrup. I will say it makes ye very cheerful, though”




I can’t remember if it was here or at Outlandish Voices but a few people made Cherry Bounce. Did you ever try it?

[> [> I love cherries but the thought of industrial strength cough medicine gags me. But a Cherry Bounce party does sound like it would be a blast, until everybody fell asleep 😵‍💫 -- Kathy in PA, Thu, May 19 2022, 7:19:17
