Suffering from Droughtlander? Well, dinnae fash yersel, as Jamie would say, this Outlander Fairy Pool Cocktail is just the thing to get you through.
Alright guys, I have a confession to make…
I’m suffering from serious Droughtlander.
What is Droughtlander you might ask? Welp, it’s what happens to you when you go without Outlander for too long. It’s real and it’s serious.
I finished the 8th book three weeks ago and I find myself getting sad that there’s no more Jamie and Claire to look forward to every day.
When you suffer from Droughtlander, you find yourself feeling lonely, and sad, and longing for better days.
Suddenly the world doesn’t seem as magical or as exciting as it once did.
Life is just better with Jamie and Claire.
Their love and adventures make us feel like it’s ours, like we’re right there living it with them.
I miss that feeling…
Since I’m heading to Scotland next month, the idea did cross my mind to attempt a little walking through the stones of my own.
Luckily, the second part of the first season is premiering tomorrow and that might just be enough Jamie and Claire to tie me over.
However, 6 plus months between two halves of the same season just isn’t right.
You know who does that kind of stuff… meanie-heads.
There, I said it, big fat meanie-heads make us wait (on the edge of our seat mind you) for the resolution of that mid season cliffhanger.
Not that I don’t know how it ends, but still. Okay, I’ll stop whining.
Speaking of Scotland, I’m so excited, I’ve been dreaming of this trip for years and reading the Outlander series only made my anticipation grow!
One of the things I’m most excited to explore is the Isle of Skye and the fairy pools as well as the white sand and gorgeous turquoise waters. The fairy pools and gorgeous beaches are actually what inspired today’s cocktail.
This Fairy Pool Cocktail is the perfect thing to get you amped up for the return of Outlander tomorrow night. It’s a fun tequila and citrus drink (I know, nothing really relative to Scotland), but it’s pretty like Scotland’s waters… so that’s something, right? And if this doesn’t quite do it for you, there’s always my Sassenach Sangria too <— that stuff is GOOOOOD!

Atta Girl Amy says
I may be the only woman in the world who hasn’t read the Outlander series, but it’s on the list. And so is this cocktail! Cheers
Jessica says
I love Claire. I love everything she brings to the story, how she brings her love of medicine and of helping others. And the intense LOVE she has for Jaime. *sigh.* I’ve missed this story. Time to start over!
Mike says
Unfortunately I haven`t read.
Tess says
My favorite character so far is Jamie. I can’t wait to read the books!
Staci says
Love Jaime and his innocence.
Shana says
Jamie is my favorite by far!
Deb in Hawaii says
People keep telling me to both read the books and watch the series–this would push me to do it. 😉 Love the color on the cocktail.
Tiffany says
Love the Outlander series and books, have not read the most recent yet, want refresh my memory on the others first. Jamie is my fav.
Amy @ Ms. Toody Goo Shoes says
Well, it’s got to be Claire…no, Jamie! That’s a tough question! I’ve not read any of the books, but I do love the series, and it’s making me want to read the books. By the way, I happen to know the “meanie-head” for real – he is my old boss! I used to schedule tv programs at a major network, and he is now over at Starz!
Holly says
I have to pick just ONE character that I love? 😛 I love Jamie because he reminds me of my own husband in so many ways.. I also love Claire for how strong she is. In the books though, I would have to say that I love Ian.. I’ve loved watching him grow up, and seeing the man he has become. Ahh, like I said, it is hard to pick one character! 🙂
Also, I’m going to try this recipe tonight for the premier! Looks delicious! And I already have all the ingredients!
Rebecca says
Ian is mine… totally crushing on him! I do love Jamie and Claire though – such an amazing love story they have.
Linda Romer says
Hello Rebecca, I haven’t read the Outlander series yet but I would like to. Thank you
Happy Easter!
Tiphanie W. says
My favorite character is Jamie! I started reading Outlander when it first came out (my gosh, I was young back then!), and Jamie was my first book boyfriend! He made me swoon. I love the series and can’t wait for the TV series to come back on Starz tomorrow!
April @ illstyle says
Two of my close friends have told me I “must” read the series. Now you make 3… and your fairy pool cocktail pretty much seals the deal that I am in. ha!
Lisa at Mabey She Made It says
Confession: I’ve never watched the series!
Patricia says
Haven”t read the latest and I am dying to start bingeing on the TV series. Need to put Claire and Jamie back in my life.
Rebecca says
I know, right!
