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!!

Mojito or strawberry daquari (sorry spelling) must have crushed ice though. 🧊

I did once have the most delicious Bloody Mary, never had once as good since, I can still remember the savoury salty tang. Lovely! One to have a go at for sure.

We’ve made granita before, i think we could have a go and add some booze. We did mint and lemon, it was so refreshing. Similar vibes to a frozen daiquiri but less sweet.

Vesper martini for me. Any kind of martini, in fact.

StripedPiggy · 10/07/2024 22:07

I don’t like sweet, sickly drinks, but I do enjoy a classic cocktail. A proper Martini or a Negroni for me, please.

Agree with all of these but adding:

I absolutely love the frozen strawberry daiquiris!! Never heard of an applejack rabbit though?

Nesbi · 10/07/2024 22:40

Partial to a Paper Plane and a Clover Club, but more often I drink dry Martinis (5:1 with a twist) or Negronis.

TheChosenTwo · 10/07/2024 23:10

What’s in a paper plane @Nesbi ?
