    Actually, all of what I've said in the thread previously only constitutes to about 15% of the alcohol I consume. the other 85% being Guinness.

    mmmmm you guys are making me thirsty....

    coke floats are great! Also nice is....a large blue label vodka, topped up with american cream soda, then a massive dollop of vanilla ice-cream... yum

    crushing ice used to be a pain, but when I bought my fridge freezer, I got a fancy one with an ice machine in it with a 'crushed' setting. perfect!

    Also liking Sailor Jerry's rum....straight...over ice....smooooooooooooooooth

    Now I do like a proper dry gin martini with a twist. A lot. Life always look better after a martini.

    For a change though I can strongly recommend a smokey martini:
    as a nomal (dry) martini (i.e., vermouth used just to wet the ice then poured away, don't let it adulterate the spirit) but 2 parts vodka to 1 part laphroaig rather than 3 pts gin or vodka.

    Now we're talking...

    Congratulations. I seem to have picked up my missus drink allowance while she is pregnant :D And she doesn't mind a lurid cocktail here and there - Miss Martini, or raspberry daquari anyone?

    I've come to the conclusion that adding creme de cassis to just about anything is a good idea.

    Even for a thinking man's snake-bite and black: peroni, aspells and c de c. Just don't operate heavy machinery...

    a straight single of a good single malt. Either Talisker, JW Black Label or at a push Glenfiddich

    I have taken to JW Blue Label, but it's not exactly easy to get hold of.
