Butterscotch schnapps and peach juice. Although, it's pretty difficult to find peach juice in England. :(

Anyway, for something you can get in England, Malibu and Pineapple, topped with lemonade (or as I call it, cheats Pina Colada)

Nothing too sugary, You'll feel great at first but you'll crash and be at home and asleep by 10.

Something with fruit juice in it, Or ask a few friends to pitch in for a nice bottle of Cava/Prosecco. Somthing cold and bubbly!

Takitezee · 13/08/2011 18:58

Tequila and lime.

monkeyfacegrace · 13/08/2011 19:01

Ameretto and coke

cjbartlett · 13/08/2011 19:02

Gin and tonic

Respect though! That is one hell of a day!

fedupofnamechanging · 13/08/2011 19:02

Peanut, try Lidl or Aldi for peach juice. Think they import it from Germany. At a push Waitrose do a peach pulp thing (sure it would taste fine with alcohol in)

Gastonladybird · 13/08/2011 19:02

Rum and coke

Carrotsandcelery · 13/08/2011 19:03

HowlingBitch you are probably right - I just keep a steady flow going until bedtime and then sleep off the crash. Grin

seasidesister · 13/08/2011 19:05

Diamond White should do it.

DontCallMePeanut · 13/08/2011 19:06

Ooh, thanks for the heads up, Karma. No waitrose nearby, so will try Lidl. I really should have brought some back from Cyprus this year.

PerAr6ua · 13/08/2011 19:06

Sidecar - equal parts brandy, triple sec and lime juice. Basically a brandy margarita. Served short over ice, lots of vitamin c, om nom nom...

cocoachannel · 13/08/2011 19:08

I need a mojito now.

Anyone know anywhere in SW London that delivers them Grin Wine!?

lubeybooby · 13/08/2011 19:08

Any spirit with diet coke keeps me going - wine or beer flattens me

scottishmummy · 13/08/2011 19:21

WorzselMummage · 13/08/2011 19:24

A massive glass of wed wine :)

KenDoddsDadsDog · 13/08/2011 19:27

KenDoddsDadsDog · 13/08/2011 19:28
