Time for a bit of xmas decadence. Co-op closes in an hour or two, what should I go buy and mix up for a little treat.

Sloe Royale… 1 part sloe gin to 4 parts champagne/prosseco. Watch out though, it is a massive accelerant!

White Russian.

Vodka.
Kahlua.
Milk.
Ice.

Only Dr Feelgood mix milk and alcohol

Shakey Pete’s ginger brew. Mmmmmm

Not sycophantic, but nice to have you back. (Are you Edward Snowden?)

However…

Co-op

yet…

Kahlua.

No good. 4 tins of Tuna, WAS £74.99, NOW £4, yes.

Kahluna, I doubt it.

That’s rich coming from someone who’s suggestion involved milk

Mojito

espresso martini +1 ( I like the Nigella version that uses butterscotch schnapps as well as vodka)

champagne coocktail, I make mine with ameretto, bitters and champers…

Nice one lapierrelady – I’ve just dug out the 9 year old sloe gin and we’re now drinking Sloe Royales.

Very nice!

Caipirinha

Cachaça
Lime
Sugar
Ice

Done.

White Russian
Whisky sour
Lynchburg lemonade
Negroni

You’ll have to have look up a mix for them as I don’t know

Big beard…if you want to be fancy, garnish with a frozen raspberry.Last year 4 of us drank all the champagne laid in for New Year’s Eve on the 30th this way…cracking night!

Prawn

Due to everyone else panic buying, looks like we are on G&T

+1 White Russian. Anything else is heresy

G&Ts are great.

This is a bit more Christmassy:

Equal parts Baileys, Grand Marnier and Kahlua. Shaken over ice.

I’m switching between Dr pepper cocktails and black russian

1 part Bailey’s

1 part Jack Daniels

No idea what it’s called but got myself very messy on them a few Xmases back.

Edit: Jack the Knife according to Google. We didn’t know about the recipe when we mad them it’s all that was left in the cupboard.

For the film and the drink

**** me G&T is dangerous, on number 2 already

1/2 pint of beer (your choice)

Enjoy.

That or a Long Island iced tea.

Crunchie nut cornflake cake:

Mead
Frangelico
Creme de Cacao
Milk
Ice

Long Island iced tea is really for those days where you don’t want to wake up until next week 🙂

Also a big fan of dark rum and pineapple. I am odd though.

Rusty nail.
+1 G&T.
Beer (preferably Belgian).

My take on a Mai Tai

1 part White Bacardi rum
1 part Gold Bacardi rum
1/2 part of Cointreau orange liqueur
1/2 part of Amaretto Disaronno liqueur
1/2 part Grenadine
Juice of a lime
Lots of fresh pineapple juice
Plenty of ice

Best made by the jug full, only thing that doesn’t give me a hangover.

Long Island Ice Tea, all day long.

Mmmmm

Strangely popular on here

Capirinha or Margaritas are staples at BigJohn Towers. I took a bottle of Cachaca up to the lakes last weekend on our annual long weekend (8 blokes) . Didn’t bring much of the bottle back as we were all doing shots. Until the YHA warden shouted at us for playing music too loud and drinking in the dorm.

A classic Martini is hard to beat. Gin & Ice, basically.

In the spirit of research…

I predict I will be asleep in about an hour.

Black or white russian, even feels appropriately festive.

Or, snapping turtle- peach schnapps, blue curacao, orange juice and double fat cream- pour the cream carefully onto the top then give it a gentle stir to break it up into blobs, then drink through a straw. It’s like an alcoholic lava lamp.

When you want to go to sleep you need to warm the milk and do 50/50 with the Kahlua, it’ll knock you right out.

Some of these sound bloody awful. French 75, 1 gin, half simple syrup, half lemon juice, topped up with champagne. Hits you like the eponymous artillery shell.

Gin & Ice, basically.

Whisper the word vermouth to it and bow in the direction of France.

Man I could really do with a nice white Russian as a night cap…

*Checks cupboard*

Vodka – Nope
Kahlua – nope

just milk for me then 🙁

*ding ding*

Round 2.

Still drinking….

Try vodka and grapefruit juice (ok not much of a cocktail more a spirit and mixer) very drinkable

I like Martinis and a negroni too

Old fashioned is my current favourite. Agastora bitters, sugar, orange zest, whisky, ice.
Mojoto, black russian, LIIT also good.

Like the man said – Old Fashioned. The rest are girl’s drinks.
