can't beat a mojito... a couple of teaspoons of sugar in a glass, juice of one lime, mix it up a bit to dissolve the sugar, a big handful of mint, bash it around a bit to bruise the mint, add a nice healthy splash of light rum, top up with soda water, and more mint/lime juice/sugar to taste. Serve with heaps of crushed ice and lime wedges. Heaven!

Ooooh White Russian.

Can't really tell you quantities as I'm always trollied by the time I decide to make them, so..

Vodka
Kahlua
Milk
Lots and lots of ice

Ooooooooooh..... delicious.

Mudslide!!!

Tia Maria
Baileys
Vodka

Similarly to BroccoliSpears, these tend to get made when we're already half-cut (for some unknown reason accompanied by shouts of 'Mudslaaaad!' in a psuedo-redneck accent... I blame my brother, he started doing it and now it's stuck...) so I can't give exact quantities, fairly equal measure of each. Deadly but delicious!

Blue Lagoon - Blue Curacao, vodka and lemonade in a tall glass - really lovely and refreshing.

Golden Dreams - galliano, cointreau or triple sec (an orange-flavoured liqueur basically), orange juice and cream shaken together in a martini glass. Heaven if you're in the mood for something creamy... yum...

I used to have recipe for a Christmas cocktail that was so lovely we made it all year round, but I've lost it... t'was in the Sainsbos magazine, as far as I recall it was basically Cointreau and a tiny drop of grenadine in the bottom of a sugar-frosted martini glass (pink sugar if you're being girly/festive/poncy) and topped up with champagne (or cava in our case!).

that Galway Grey sounds lush also... roll on the 24th May when I can drink again!

Sorry, I've just realised that this is tonight and consequently far too late to be of any use if you haven't already got the ingredients in...
