    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

    I like rum!

    You're speaking my language! :D

    You speak fluent Burd then?

    Great Mrs T's been banging on about something to do with the washing machine for hours now and all I can work out is somehow HER washing machine is busted and it's my problem.

    Can I get you on the phone to her and you speako da lingo with her and tell her to ram it?

    Pah! Rum is for pirates. Pirates are blokes! Bow down to my crushing logic!

    I was pondering a quick poll as to whether lime (my preference) or lemon is the choice of the forum g&ters

    Normally lime for me, but apparently it's cucumber with Hendricks (good) and grapefruit with Tanqueray (not so good) if doing things properly!

    The Royal Bombay Sapphire was tooooo fruit juice like, better just have another to be sure to be sure ;-)

    then it's on to the ...

    Bombay Sapphire Collins
    fresh lemon juice, caster sugar, Bombay gin, fill with ice and stir, fill with more ice and top up with soda water, garnish with a lemon wedge.
    Rule #5 // Harden The Feck Up.
    Rule #9 // If you are out riding in bad weather, it means you are a badass. Period.
    Rule #12 // The correct number of bikes to own is n+1.
    Rule #42 // A bike race shall never be preceded with a swim and/or followed by a run.

    I have a case or two of those small cans of Schweppes tonic, a fresh bottle of Bombay Sapphire, and I'm just off to the shops to stock up on lime. I also have a healthy supply of vintage Cava, some in the fridge :-)

    (not that this matters, I'm off to a party where the host lays on a couple of kegs of ale)

    Happy New Year all..... :D

    I know but I'm stuck at work, there's no offies by me and I can't be arsed to go to tesco.

    I've got beer, some weird schnaps from a dodgy cypriot winery, vodka, scotch, tequila and some coconut rum to keep me going.

    I might have to pick some up at the weekend though.

    Now what you need to do is put all that in a cocktail shaker, give a good tug, then serve over lots of ice cause is gonna taste like petrol :wink:

    How about a soup based cocktail?

    Winter fuel filler!

    Oxtail, vegatable and chickn mix with croutons, salt, pepper and complimentary cheese sprinkle?!

    Or you could have a Martini:

    3 parts gin to one part Vermouth - add a cocktail onion for a Gibson or add an Olive for a perfect Martini. Add Olive storage juice for a Dirty Martini.....

    Mmmmm Martini - glad I am working from home today!

    Check the back of the bottle

    If it's for lighting BBQs you shouldn't be drinking it....ok, maybe a single.
