I recently saw some links on Pinterest for drinks inspired by Downton Abbey characters. The recipes were a bit too highfalutin for a midwest girl like me. So I wondered: if the Downton girls went to a martini bar here in the States in the modern day, what would they order? Here's what I think.
Lady Mary - Traditional Martini. No need to modernize the martini for Mary. She's all about tradition.
Lady Edith - Lemon Drop Martini. She's a little bit of a sour puss sometimes, but she can also be quite sweet when she wants to be.
Lady Sybil - Peaches and Cream Martini. Sybil is sweet and beautiful, just like this martini. And since we know how much she loves those Irish lads, she'd ask for it with a bit of Bailey's Irish Cream.
Anna Bates - Nuts and Berries Martini. She's a strong lady, tough like a nut shell. But she's also very sweet and kind. So this martini fits her perfectly.
Daisy Mason - Shirley Temple. Because she just "wouldn't feel right" about consuming alcohol.
O'Brien - Guinness, straight from the bottle. C'mon, what else is she going to drink? She isn't frilly, she's Irish and she's bitter.
Thomas (because he's kind of one of the girls) - blood orange juice and vodka. Slightly sinister, but always dignified.
