I have been making chocolate covered cherries this week and so have two jars of cherry juice left over. Being reluctant to pour it out I am mixing it with ginger ale and vodka. Not a bad little holiday drink and a lovely pinkish/reddish color. Now I just need a name for my drink. I looked on the internet to see if such a drink already had a name and couldn't find it. Sounds like a task for the Muggles. Please help me name my drink.
I like all of the suggestions. Just came from a recital, so music
is in my brain —
For a party group, “We wish you a Cherry Christmas”, or for an intimate drink with someone special, “Cherry Christmas, Darling”.

Ashore and enjoying a libation. Last week I was on the right path but gave up too soon. Very frustrating. This one came together for me, so a nice way to head into Christmas.

How is that I got the MGWCC Week 3 in about five minutes and have no idea where to start with the WSJ?
Frustration is setting in.

That sounds pretty tasty! ...and an awful lot like a Shirley Temple - if Shirley had a drinking problem
I'm trying to think of a family-friendly antonym of virgin. Best I can come up with (well anyway it rhymes) is a Whirly Shirley.
I like it! After all rhyming is a big thing with this group.
No rhyming. "Cherry Magdalene"?

From a mug-winning muggle in the vast uplands of northern Delaware, unfortunately still ensconced with Isaac until the right rabbit appears.
I knew we had someone from the first state.

Done. One of those times I found the right rabbit hole early but didn’t follow all the way through. Then went back to it days later and figured it out. If I learned a lesson I could save myself time

I was getting very worried that I may be left on the ship this week, but just took a glance before heading to bed and it jumped right out at me. Thanks Isaac, see you later!

Not seeing it at all and I have to go away Sunday so it will be three weeks of no solving. Maybe I had better rethink my META talents.
