The Cocktail

For purposes of argument, let's say The Scarlet Widow was able to eliminate her no-good, lying, cheating, double-dealing scumbag of a husband without in any way casting suspicion on herself. That would be cause for celebration, wouldn't it?

So if she wanted to mix herself a drink to celebrate, it should be something special and unique, don't you think?

What ingredients do you think should go into a Scarlet Widow cocktail? The only requirement is that one ingredient must be red, and sufficiently prominent in the mix to make the cocktail itself red.

All the other stuff -- what kind of glass, ice or no ice, shaken or stirred, cherry or olive or twist of lemon or lime, tiki umbrellas, any other accoutrements -- is up to you. Let your imagination run wild.

There will be some sort of recognition, we just haven't figured out what. Feel free to add what you think an appropriate prize should be.

The selection of the winning entry will be totally up to the Widow herself, and you know how unpredictable she can be.
