Espresso Martinis

I have only had one and I no longer give a shit about ANYTHING!

You're welcome.

One for you too or are you sticking with the spirits?

RJnomore1 · 17/04/2020 22:08

Sorry foxtrot that’s meant for @PyongyangKipperbang

Redshoeblueshoe · 17/04/2020 22:09

I'm on red wine and twiglets too 🍷

stclair · 17/04/2020 22:10

I’ve had gin and red wine (no, not together!) but no snacks. I need snacks .....

I have to add I made my own kahlua after discovering espresso martinis at a Christmas do, then realised I was too mean to buy tia Maria but had a spare bottle of vodka, a lot of sugar and coffee. There’s a recipe on the bbc for this. The fact I drove to ikea to buy the bottles to store it in, then bought the martini glasses etc. did make me think I was a tad obsessed. Class drink - be wary tomorrow may be....interesting....

PyongyangKipperbang · 17/04/2020 22:14

I have had three large ones, FNAAAAR (anyone else remember Finbaar Saunders?!) and I think I am going to lay off them now as I am really very warm indeed :o

Johnny Thank goodness. I mean, who has 'left over' chocolate Grin

Angliski · 17/04/2020 22:15

I raise you a Pink gin, rose lemonade and RHUBARB crumble and custard.

Batshittery · 17/04/2020 22:16

Finbar Saunders and his double entendres Grin

Sounds like a posh version of Vodka red bull.

Everything is better with caffeine and booze. Together. With spicy wotsits.

PyongyangKipperbang · 17/04/2020 22:17

Bloke walked into my pub and asked for a Double Entendre

So I gave him one

Aldi 15% Zinfandel - wondered where the hell last night went, now I've read the label, I understand!

BiddyPop · 17/04/2020 22:19

We started with a half bottle of Moët (only good bubbles I could find 2 weeks ago) to celebrate a letter coming this morning (our mortgage is paid off!!!) and followed with the single glass of white wine left in the open bottle so emptied a fresh bottle of white also.

helpfulperson · 17/04/2020 22:19

@Not2bObvious well that's tomorrow's craft hour sorted.

PyongyangKipperbang · 17/04/2020 22:20

Just went to the loo and realised there was no loo roll.

Did that crab walk with my jeans around my knees to get some more.

Nearly at Tesco now.

I went with the only available stuff tonight - Amaretto and Cherry Pepsi max. It's kinda like a bakewell. I don't hate it.

YorkshirePud1 · 17/04/2020 22:20

Ah I'm jealous. This lockdown would be so much better if I could have alcohol. It's probably a good job I'm pregnant though actually - not sure my liver would survive it. Enjoy! GrinWine

PyongyangKipperbang · 17/04/2020 22:22

AMaretto and apple juice is exactly like a bakewell tart, but I can only manage a very small one as they are quite sickly.

Dollywilde · 17/04/2020 22:22

I’m just going to sit in a corner with @YorkshirePud1 and @FoxtrotSkarloey, bloody pregnancy! I feel like I could cope pretty well with lockdown if I wasn’t doing it sober Angry

Obviously I’m delighted to be pregnant but, yknow, talk about timing for sobriety....

WeyKorker · 17/04/2020 22:23

I have delivery due the 25th and I am now adding espresso martini ingredients though.

WeyKorker · 17/04/2020 22:24

It is a little bit sickly to be honest. but by the third I seem not to care anymore.

WeyKorker · 17/04/2020 22:25

Is anyone else doing terrible front room karaoke though?

mypoorfurbaby · 17/04/2020 22:25

My Rum stores have been seriously depleted the last 3 weeks.
Pre outbreak I could honestly say I drank around 20units a year now I'm a drink a night.
