Last week’s challenge: “Rise of the Phoenix<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.”<\/em><\/p>\n

This week?<\/p>\n

Below you’ll find a list of 20 cocktails.<\/p>\n

I love cocktails because they have great names. Evocative in their own fun way. So, you’ll choose a random cocktail from the table and use that as the title of your story. Use a d20 or a random number generator\u00a0or<\/em>, if none of those are really fizzing your gin, go ahead and use one that’s not on the list.<\/p>\n

You’ve got 1500 words this time.<\/p>\n

Due by June 20th, noon EST.<\/p>\n

Post at your online space. Link to it in the comments below.<\/p>\n

(Feel free to add “the” to any of the below titles.)<\/p>\n
