One thing missing from a few of the cocktails is the lurid colours and unbrellas at the very least. They all seem to be a bit "adult"
ie when making margaritas use Blue Curaçao instead of triple sec / cointreau for a smashing blue-green margarita. Serve with an umbrella for sophistication"Bed is for sleepy people.

Oh for goodness sake.
The perfect cocktail recipe for home consumption:
1) go to fridge
2) get bottle of stella
3) remove top (I find a wiggle bottle-opener gives best results)
4) drink!
Anything else is just far too much trouble.0 -

Bah i'm gasping for a pint now!
One of my favourite tipples was discovered by accident when we ran out of both tonic and lemonade.
Lots of ice and gin straight from the freezer. That's it. The gin goes kinda gloopy but I think it tastes better frozen.0 -

Well, not when I'm at home. More like Stella ArtComatose then! And I go for far more sophisticated cocktails when I'm out. Exotic concoctions like 'Pint of Marston's Pedigree'.0 -

This is just not good enough. It should be 'Beer's a cocktail, right?'
Bugg***, I've just turned into a pedant. Must be time for another couple of pint's of cocktail's

I like rum!
You're speaking my language!
Rum's pretty much the only alcohol I drink. I don't care if it's white, golden, dark, spiced, whatever. If it's rum, it's all good.
My current stocks are quite limited; some Bacardi, Appleton, generic Guyanese rum, Woods 100, some Captain Morgan and a bottle of Havana Club 7yo. Woods 100 is a bit rough though.

The Ching, as appropriated from lab. It seems fidly but once you have a stock of the (extremely fungible) bits its quick to make.
50ml of Tanqueray
25ml of Taylors Velvet Falernum (Spiced rum cordial of shocking under exposure)
125ml pressed apple Juice
This is the good bit - 1 barspoon/2.5ml vanilla sugar - stick some vanilla pods in a jar of sugar
Twist of ginger root
1/8 of an unwaxed lime, rolled.
Ice at the end - this is important as it stops the parts from mixing properly if it goes in at the begining.
