Writer seeking recs: I need a drink that would have been served hundreds of years ago at pubs of yore that could still be feasibly served today (or still is served today). Should ideally have a name that sounds oldish, too. Does not have to be specifically English or even from UK area. #amwriting

How do you start? You make words appear on a page, as many and as often as you can. 👩🏼‍💻 #amwriting #writingcommunity #writerssky
