French Martini here please, please

lulubellaboozle · 25/01/2013 20:51

A twinkle is vodka, elderflower liqueur and topped up with champagne! If you fancy something hardcore though I made skittles vodka at Christmas and that blows your socks off!!

48howdidthathappen · 25/01/2013 20:53

A Twinkle sounds good Lulu I don't mind if I do

VoiceofUnreason · 25/01/2013 20:54

Excellent Woo Woo. I may avail myself of a bit of my homemade sloe gin (three year vintage) in due course also.

lulubellaboozle · 25/01/2013 20:56

We may have a collectively shit dating history but boy we know how to drink Hmm

48howdidthathappen · 25/01/2013 20:56

Are you sharing? Voice

KinNora · 25/01/2013 20:58

Of course, Scooby (that sounds dead sophisticated).

Lulu, god, I really want one of those now.

KinNora · 25/01/2013 21:00

I thought about asking if Voice was hogging his slow gin, 48, but then realised it might taste like gin, in which case, I don't want any

lulubellaboozle · 25/01/2013 21:00

Me too, but I've actually got a cup of tea and some mint areo minis. I need a cocktail bar night out soon!

KinNora · 25/01/2013 21:00

Sloe gin. Bastard phone.

VoiceofUnreason · 25/01/2013 21:00

48 unfortunately there was almost no sloe harvest last year, so I couldn't make any for Xmas as usual. I always give some away to friends. I have a small amount of some I made three years ago to get me thru until next year. I could auction a tot off to the highest bidder?

TweedSlacks · 25/01/2013 21:00

+1 Skittles Vodka Please ( make it a large one , one the rocks )

lulubellaboozle · 25/01/2013 21:01

Someone put the music on, I fancy a boogie!

VoiceofUnreason · 25/01/2013 21:01

Kin its nothing like normal gin, although that's the principal ingredient. Coz I don't like straight gin. But sloe gin.....very warming for the winter.

KinNora · 25/01/2013 21:02

Even that sounds good, Lulu, I've got to wash my hair because I've volunteered to work tomorrow. I was supposed to be going for lunch and cocktails. Sad, sad,sad face.

lulubellaboozle · 25/01/2013 21:04
  • it's raining men!! Hallelujah
KinNora · 25/01/2013 21:04

Tweed, 'Skittles vodka' - is that as good as it sounds ? Bloody hell at this rate I'm going to end up getting shit-faced the next time I go out.

You've talked me into it, Voice, cheers me dear

OhWesternWind · 25/01/2013 21:05

Oh a twinkle sounds lovely. Where do you get elderflower liqueur?

scoobydooagain · 25/01/2013 21:05

Sophisticated that's me all over ! On a dating related theme, I've told last Saturday lunch time man, thanks but no thanks and tomorrow Saturday night time man is cooking me dinner and then we are going to the cinema.

lulubellaboozle · 25/01/2013 21:08

western I've only had a twinkle in a bar so don't know where you get the elderflower liqueur but they are gorgeous!!

Skittles vodka is good but strong, online instructions on mixmydrink.com, if anyone fancies having a go!

48howdidthathappen · 25/01/2013 21:14

I have a bottle of Bombay Sapphire Gin someone gave me for christmas. Going crack it open and have a sample.

voice Lets hope for a bumper harvest this year.

Home made elder flower cordial is yum.

lulubellaboozle · 25/01/2013 21:16

Scooby home cooked dinner and cinema sounds good! What's he like?

KinNora · 25/01/2013 21:20

OWW and Lulu, they sell elderflower liqueur in Waitrose, think it's called something like St. Germain ( comes in a very pretty bottle too, if you'll excuse me sounding like a right girly )

scoobydooagain · 25/01/2013 21:22

He's nice and looks like Ian Brown, so I like that!

48howdidthathappen · 25/01/2013 21:26

Any ideas what to do with Sambuca. Got a bottle of that hanging around.
