Ooh, and I was thinking of a flavor, something with cherry, and something with an underlying bitterness, could even be just a good cherry with a souring agent (or pomegranate which would temper the sweetness of the cherry)...or you could toss in a bit of capsicum and make it hot headed and sour hearted...
and you could call it Queen of Hearts...
I know I'm looking for a good, bitter, cherry, something that makes you think of picking them early in the spring...when they have just the tiniest bit of spring's sweetness and the bright sour pop of winter, still holding fast...
(and not that icky candy/cough syrup flavor)
Seems a very Red Queen type of flavor! =D
P.S. If it hasn't come through, Alice in Wonderland is one of my most treasured stories, so...I truly love anything with that spirit.
