When I went to RadCon his year, I had a memorable
experience…or fifty. But we’re only here to talk about one: Sci-Fi and Fantasy
Drinks. It was a late-night panel on the first day. Now the description was
pretty vague, but everyone thought they were going to give us drink recipes.
That’s the only explanation I can come to for why, when I showed up, it was
standing room only.
Here’s the memorable part. In walks the one lone panelist.
He gets up to the front and says, ‘I have a Ph.D.’ And half the room stood up
and walked out. But I stayed. It was fascinating. He talked about how wines and
brandies and ales were made, and then applied that to blood wine and dwarven
ale. It made me happy.
And it reignited my passion to write about liquor. So, here
comes the question part: what liquors do you feel are under-represented in
fiction? Who knows—it could make it into a future project.

The panel ruled, truly, but It wouldn't have been any worse if he'd passed out samples. eh?
