To be drinking ribena and amaretto?

SPsWantsCliffInHerStocking · 02/01/2014 21:09

I'm in the last stage of food poisoning (I hope!)

I haven't eaten and wanted a drink. I thought coke would upset me more so thought dilute and amaretto.

Surprisingly it is lovely or it could be because I have a cold and my senses are all messed up.

Will I regret this or will it enhance 2014?

That sounds so vile. I don't know whether I have a shitlload of respect for you or whether I want to poke you with a stick for being so gross.

Is it a bit like cake?

Bleuch. Ick. Ack. Uck.

SPsWantsCliffInHerStocking · 02/01/2014 21:13

Nothing like cake. It's like a fruit pastel taste. I can't judge due to having a cold though. It could be vile Grin

Every time I read the word Amaretto, I start singing 'Show me the way to Amarillo'.

Now I can't stop

I love Ribena with vodka, haven't tried it with amaretto though.

Proper Ribena cordial or just squash?

SPsWantsCliffInHerStocking · 02/01/2014 21:20

It does taste delish but as I said, my sense can't be trusted currently.

I've had a cup already.

It's not a bit like cheesecake and almond biccie base.

That's nice.

How much are you diluting the blackcurrant juice?

LamaDrama · 02/01/2014 21:21

Get well soon SP Thanks

Recipe for Amaretto here

SPsWantsCliffInHerStocking · 02/01/2014 21:21

Cold I refuse to suffer alone Grin

SPsWantsCliffInHerStocking · 02/01/2014 21:23

Tbf I there is more amaretto in it than juice Grin

I did half cup of Ribena. I made it stronger than I usually do other wise it would be slightly flavoured water Grin

I've just been tricked into reading a Cliff Richard article. Bad LamaDrama!

LamaDrama · 02/01/2014 21:31

Did you look at the recipe I linked x

SPsWantsCliffInHerStocking · 02/01/2014 21:32

I did but I didn't want to ruin it for others Grin

IamGrimalkin · 02/01/2014 21:33

I could just drink some ribena!

IamGrimalkin · 02/01/2014 21:33

Ribena*

Allalonenow · 02/01/2014 21:35

Hope you are feeling better soon SP, if that is what you drink when you are feeling poorly, you must have a cast iron constitution.

SPsWantsCliffInHerStocking · 02/01/2014 21:36

I also have black currant and apple dilute so might spice things up and try that
