Just for fun. Dd and I are slowly working our way through some popular ones but our favourite so far has got to be the humble spicy margarita.
Also do you have any superb recipes for them? This evening we made mint juleps and caipirinha and both we okay.
i bought good quality spirits, not cheap ones but there is definitely an art to mixology!!

Moscow Mule

Also, we aren’t raging alcoholics 😂 just something we have discovered we quite enjoy, she doesn’t have the funds to buy all the different boozes when she’s at uni so we have agreed to do testing at home!

Spicy margarita here too! Also love a Vesper Martini, a pornstar martini (although v sweet), and an amaretto sour. Not really a cocktail but I got massively into limoncello spritz in italy last year too

French martini..really easy to get right and tastes like heaven.

inlandriverview · 10/07/2024 19:21

Pina colada!

TheChosenTwo · 10/07/2024 19:22

We have found mojitos are really hard to get spot on but we had fun trying 😂

Cosmopolitan or French martini

Sillystrumpet · 10/07/2024 19:22

Love an espresso Martini, and also a passion fruit one as second in line. On holiday a pina colada.

PrincessHoneysuckle · 10/07/2024 19:23

Mojito if done well or a Margarita

TheChosenTwo · 10/07/2024 19:23

I like a pornstar martini but they can be quite cloying after one. Will add it to the list though!
and French martini is a good one to have a go at, dh likes those.

Negroni every time

Muffin101 · 10/07/2024 19:24

I think I’m rather boring really, either a passionfruit martini or a mojito!

TheChosenTwo · 10/07/2024 19:24

My favourite cocktail ever was a blackforest martini, never seen one anywhere other than at a hotel we stayed at but my god it was absolutely divine.

TheChosenTwo · 10/07/2024 19:24

TheChosenTwo · 10/07/2024 19:25

Oh dh loves a French 75 too! Not one I like though and not sure dd would like it, but we could certainly give it a go. We have all the stuff.
