🕷️ Children of Time – Book Club Meetup! 🕷️

📅 When: Sunday, June 1, 2025 at 4 PM ET

Let’s dive into Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky next Sunday afternoon! It’s one of the most fascinating, cerebral sci-fi novels of the last decade. I can’t wait to discuss uplifted spiders, forgotten gods, and the survival of civilization(s) with you. 🕸️🧠

To set the mood, I’ve created a themed cocktail and mocktail for y'all to enjoy during our gathering. Recipes below! 🍸✨

🍸 Themed Cocktail: Thread of Time

A subtle, citrusy drink with just a touch of complexity—like a sentient, evolutionary leap in a glass.

Ingredients:

• 2 oz Gin (or Vodka for a smoother base)

• ¾ oz Lime Juice

• ½ oz Honey Syrup (1:1 honey + warm water — I used hot honey for a kick)

• ½ oz Apple Juice

• A few dashes of bitters

• Optional: Lime peel twist

Instructions:
Shake all ingredients with ice.
Strain into a chilled coupe or over ice.
Garnish if you’re feeling fancy.

🥂 Themed Mocktail: Uplifted

A non-alcoholic version that still captures the vibe—bright, thoughtful, and slightly sweet.

Ingredients:

• 2 oz Apple Juice

• ¾ oz Lime Juice

• ½ oz Honey Syrup

• Sparkling Water to top

• Optional: Mint or basil for depth

Instructions:
Shake juice and honey syrup with ice.
Strain over ice, top with sparkling water, and add herbs if desired.

Let me know if you try the drinks—and see you all on June 1st! 💬📖🧪
