Silly Cocktail Recipes

Still in here in front of the roaring fire smoking my pipe I thought to myself wouldn't my fellow incognito racers enjoy a few handy tips on how to quench ones thirst after a hard day at it.

Well of course you would, so here we go

Tall glass can of draught Guinness, take glass tilt to an angle of 45 degrees pull the trigger on the sleek smooth stem of lovely blackness, tilt towards glass and oh so gently pour maintaining a constant stream of liquid brown heaven, easing and turn upright as you reach the rim - very important that step

Allow this ambrosia to settle to a majestic black with creamy white head, admire then consume.

Now then at some point in the evening you might find you need something a little more continental well I have just the thing, you'll need...

Ingredients

* 2 tsp sugar or sugar water
* ½ a fresh lime chopped into quarters
* 6-8 fresh mint leaves
* Crushed ice
* 2-10 measures of rum
* Soda to top if you really must!

I give you the Mojito - enjoy

One measure of Kahlua, double of fresh orange.

Terry's Chocolate Orange in a glass, the wife loves it

Oh for the love of everything, this is a cake stop thread surely....

OOooo the 'trolls' are about....

Always wanted to say that

Lets see.... cocktail:

Half a glass of Coke,

a little bit of lemonade

1 dollop or vanilla icecream on top.

Some call this a float of some contraption, but I have a book that dates back into my childhood that has dubbed this a 'Supercool!'

Actually the best way to pour draught Guinness from a can is to tip it straight into a vertical glass and let it settle. :P

Alternately, place the glass over the opened can and invert... one smooth pour and you get the perfect head

pernod and diet lilt, drink of the gods.

A bit hard going for the start of the evening but a lambrini and lime with 2 olives and twist is a great way to get things started.

ride_whenever

one huge martini glass
one large scoop of lime sorbet

Oh yes, available from any booze buster near your local council estate.

Advacar and Cherryaid highball. add a dash of cherry ice cream topping to add a real sweetness to things.

Ceasar - a Canadian abberation.

Basically a bloody mary, but with CLAM juice.

Seriously.

Not as bad as it sounds, but I'd recommend being quite drunk first, so you are more relaxed during the convulsions.

A twist of lemming with you Mallard Fizz?

My dear fellow, you have forgottent he slow pour!! Said Guinness must be poured until 3inches from the top then left to sit before finishing!

My personal, all-time favourite cocktail.

The zombie:

* 1 part white rum (Havana 3)
* 1 part golden rum (Mount Gay Eclipse)
* 1 part dark rum (Havana 7)
* 1 part apricot brandy (Calvados will also do)
* 1 part pineapple juice
* 1 part papaya juice
* ½ part 151-proof rum (Woods Old Navy)
* Dash of grenadine or other syrup

Classic rum and coke:

Highball glass, 50ml measure of your favourite mixing rum (Mount Gay for me, hey i'm not loaded). Squeezed lime and ice in bottom, top up with coke. Should be about half and half when you include the ice and lime. Squeeze another lime in the top.

White Russian (Nicky style):

* Double shot of Grey Goose Vodkka over ice
* Single shot of Kahlua
* Fill the rest with half milk and half cream

I like rum! (note the rows are two deep. how I never got a discount in that shop i'll never know. tight bastard!)

Absinthe, water and sugar is good, best for hot days though.

Otherwise I like a dry Manhattan:

whisky or bourbon (bourbon is more for perfect or sweet manhattans)
dry vermouth (or sweet for a sweet manhattan, sweet + dry for a perfect)
bitters

Also campari and lemonade, drink of the gods.

Every time I contemplate a cocktail menu I come back to a dry gin martini with a twist. Two of those and the world swiftly becomes a better place.

Some of you need to get yourself booked into you Doc sharpish as drinking sweet alcopops will have your mojo withering and turning black in no time at all

Jedster, MM are on the money, the only Cocktail is Martini and all else are going down the leg side and should be left well alone

If you aren't a burd you need an urgent transfusion of oomph with a long course of get a grip to put you right

The only possible exception to the Martini only rule is getting your mates to dump in/on their own furniture.

When I was at college, a friend "invented" something he called "Cuthy's Revenge" which was Pernod, Blue Curacao and a dash of blackcurrant, no ice.

Take any glass, the bigger the better. Add a generous splash of blue curacao, an equal amount of pernod, watch it turn piss-green then add the dash of blackcurrant. If it is good blackcurrant with no added water the magic will happen. The result is dichromatic (I think that is the correct word).

Look through the bulk of the drink at a light source and it is a deep green. Tip the glass and look through a small amount at the edge and it is red. (Or was it the other way round? Someone will have to try it for us.)

Believe it or not, he based his Chemistry thesis on dichromatic liquids and turned up to his viva interview with a miniature of curacao, a pernod and some black. He passed too!

As for what it tastes like? I have absolutely no idea. To my shame, I was messing around with double gin and pernods myself at the time.

Mojito's are my go to cocktail...

a little later on the old fashioned is the way to go.

No cherry though the ice has to be muddled with cherry

Yikes!!! I think by anti-brain melt filters prevented me from registering Georgee's little recipe. Surely she is a girl. I'd have thought mixing one of those let alone drinking it is apt to strip all testosterone from your body. It's a threat to the survival of the species. Something should be done [/quote]

BTW - a little tweak on the martini theme. Swap one or two of the gin (or vodka) measures for a peaty whisky, laphroig being the obvious choice. Voila! A smokey martini.
Nice...

That presupposes that peaty whisky is, in fact, nice. Peer pressure prevents anyone from pointing out that it tastes like soil.

ooooh cocktails..

For the getting drunk badly and quickly, the Special Brew & K Cider Snakebite (for that real Trampagne feeling try tenents super and white lightening).

I agree with GregT, the martini the pinnacle of cocktail goodness.

A variant for Mrs Blu3cat is the Miss Martini.

4 parts good clean tasting vodka
some frozen raspberrys (saves adding ice)
1 part Chambord
1 Part Double Cream

blend till smooth and strain as you serve to remove the pips from the raspberries.

jedster

Now AT you say that like its a bad thing :?

Actually, I prefer speyside myself but in this specific combination (say 2pts gn or vodka to 1 pt laphroig) you just get a nice smokey tatse rather than the full dirt eating/TCP experience

I sometimes like a "reverse Martini" - a glass of chilled Noilly Prat with a dash of gin.

Gah, what is this forum? An alcoholic mother's meeting? I thought cycling was male-dominated...

Honestly. Real men don't drink cocktails. :roll:

But I've got a good one for you:

Whisky
A glass
Just a touch of water if you're feeling fancy.

My version of a good cocktail = single malt + touch of water to bring out the nose
