Here’s my piece for the Love Wins edition of @oursidezine! This was a lovely zine and I’m very honoured to have been involved. 🌈💚

Lavender has historically been associated with LGBTQ+ identities, so I wanted to pay homage to that with this piece. I was also inspired by the tradition of “Boston marriages” and felt that aesthetic would suit the ineffable wives. Living in a cottage with your wife sure sounds nice. 💜

 Yes, you remember well 

I think the emphasis may be on the fact that it’s not purple. But above all, not to contradict Sherlock, but the bridesmaids are in lavender, and therefore the flower pinned to the lapel of the two … friends, the one in lilac is only Janine. 

Lilac is a pale purple with a pink tinge, lavender a pale purple with a blue tinge. Lilac is a color that widows wore, a tribute to the Sherlock’s dead heterosexuality (or born dead, like Rachel in ASIP), I dare say

The Hour 99

gins: I feel like we should make a cocktail in honor of A Hundred Hours, with like… a pear cider base hbbo: ooh! yes! gins: and, like, lavender hbbo: and bitters gins: and St. Germain

So, inspired by A hundred hours, @havingbeenbreathedout and I present:

The Hour 99 makes 2 cocktails

2 oz. Armagnac (can substitute calvados, but Armagnac is both better and more narratively appropriate) 2 oz. lemon juice 2 oz. lavender-ginger syrup (recipe below) 1 oz. St. Germain 4 dashes orange bitters 1 bottle pear cider, chilled lemon zest strips for garnish

Combine everything except for the pear cider and the lemon zest in a shaker full of ice; shake well. Split between two tumblers (TUMBLERS), each containing 3 ice cubes and strips of lemon zest (3 small strips, or one long fancy strip if that’s how you roll). Top off with pear cider (you’ll probably have some cider left over).

Lavender-Ginger Syrup makes about 1 ½ cups

1 cup sugar 1 cup water ¼ cup dried lavender flowers ¼ cup dehydrated ginger (not crystallized/candied)

Heat sugar and water in a small saucepan, stirring until sugar is completely dissolved. Add lavender and ginger; stir well. Simmer for 1-2 minutes, then remove from the heat and let sit for half an hour. Strain out the lavender and ginger and transfer the cooled syrup into an appropriate storage container (we use a small cruet, for easy pouring). Store in the refrigerator.

Additional Notes: There will be a companion drink to this, to be posted in, uh… about eleven weeks. Watch this space!
