In God We Trust (2010)
““A Bloody Charlie? How the hell do you make a Bloody Charlie?”
“You mean you don’t serve Bloody Charlies here?”
Flick rummaged under the bar and finally found his Bartender’s Guide.
“Forget it. You will not find it listed in that rag.”
I could see that Flick’s professional curiosity was piqued.
“Do you mean a Bloody Mary?”
“No, I said a Bloody Charlie. Charlie, as in Charlie Company. If I recall rightly, Flick, you were in the Artillery. ‘C’ for Charlie.”
“Well, all right, how do you make a Blo...ody Charlie?” He sounded skeptical.
“Okay. If you have the makings, I’ll be glad to whip us up a couple.”
“This I have to see.”
“Okay. I will need vodka, which I see you have, tomato juice, Worcestershire sauce, and perhaps a bit of salt. And one other special ingredient.”
Flick set the tomato juice, the vodka, the Worcestershire, and a salt shaker on the bar next to two tall glasses. I waited for him to bite.
“Now I suppose you’re gonna tell me I need one a them fancy French liqueurs, or something.”MoreLess
