Haven't seen that one. How herbal? How sweet?

We're not big drinkers in the Beebleborx household, but SWMBO found a really neat recipe on the web the other day. She's making Tequila Slammer marshmallows for a party we're attending next week. She made some samples up yesterday. Yum.

Without naming any names, I've seen similarly timed posts in the Single Malt Thread and thought the same

Herbal, but DRY. A little sweet. Perfect.

Day off, made myself a Bloody Mary for breakfast. Because I can. After trying all different recipes, with horseradish and without, here's my tried and tested - 

 

Large tumbler glass, loads of ice

Generous serve of Polish vodka from the freezer

Healthy dash of Worcestershire sauce

Couple of twists of cracked pepper

Pinch of Murray River pink salt

3-4 drops Tabasco

Squirt of lemon juice

Fill with tomato juice, stir with a celery stick.

 

Bada bing bada boom. One way ticket to delicious town, population - YOU!

Not a cocktail, but damn nice anyway.

 

another hot day in melbourne, not even sun down. but hey theres limes and mint in the garden. so why not a mojito ! ... or two

 

http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/mojito_85338

 

 

I've not followed their recipe to the letter, possibly gone 1/3rd the lot.

 

30ml bacardi rum

2.5 spoons of sugar

half a lemon quartered

6 mint leaves.

 

squeezed the limes into a cocktail mixer, added the sugar and mint leaves, ground the leaves in the mixer with the end of a knife so nicely bruised. added the bacardi and given a good shake. after that into the glass, and added soda water. alternatively instead of the spoons of sugar and soda water can also just use lemonade I found 

 

....ah very refreshing ! especially after a couple of them hehe

Sounds noice. Your photo, :)al? Pool looks inviting.
