My friend [livejournal.com profile] chanaleh is getting married next weekend, and so, this past weekend, she threw a bachelorette party. Well, [livejournal.com profile] ablock, aka Pup, threw it for her, and, as there was a sign on the door stating, "What happens at Pup's, STAYS at Pup's," I won't mention too many details. Except I'll reassure folks that nothing blackmail-able happened, even adjusting for the fact that a goodly number of the people there are leaders in the Boston progressive Jewish community.

Among the purposes of the party, however, was flirting, and [livejournal.com profile] gilana contacted me to design a theme drink for the party that would help this.

In the Society for Creative Anachronism, there exists a tradition called the "cloved orange". One takes an orange, and sticks cloves all in it. One then takes this orange and presents it to someone. The person may politely decline to take the orange, or may take the orange and remove a clove with their hand, in which case you kiss their hand, or may pull a clove out with their teeth, in which case you kiss them on the mouth.

So the cloved orange is a symbol of flirtatiousness, and I was assigned to create a drink based on this idea.
