Cocktail anyone?

eh ? whats all that lot? * anya*

Is baileys a liqueer

I'm so enjoying this thread, I'm going to practice over the festive period, so keep them coming. ???hiccup, ?

A liqueur is one sort of alcohol with a flavouring and/or an addition (Baileys with coffee and cream, Tia Maria with coffee) which is already in it when you buy it)

A cocktail is a mixture of several alcoholic drinks, sometimes with other things added (fruit syrups, chopped fruit, cucumber, mint leaves, little umbrellas stuck into the top, and so on) which is mixed on the spot by someone who has the recipe (or who makes it up as he goes along, with varying degrees of success)

The result of several different cocktails is usually a splitting headache and a rebellious stomach.

Singapore sling. Lovely, but you've got to like cherry brandy!

Has anyone bought Cool Swan? I like it much better than Bailey's. It's MB are with white chocolate and cream. It's lovely added to double cream and whipped for a special pudding. I will be doing this on Christmas Day!

Where did MB are come from? I'm sure I typed made!

Anyone tried a slug of Bailey's in hot chocolate? Very warming

Coffee + Baileys + DDs = a big stain on s pale carpet that never comes out

Singapore Sling! Lovely sipped in Raffles on a special birthday (memories, memories .....)

a not s - no, I haven't been taste-testing!

can you mix liquers to make a cocktail and somebody said baileys is a liquer is that true. I thought that mixing drinks was jus pouring lots of different stuff together. I now know its a cocktail sooo confusing. Why don't they put cocktial in a bottle ready mixed

ethel You can mix it up as much as you want, but be prepared for it to be yeuggghhh. The famous ones taste good and are copied for that reason.

The slow comfortable screw against the wall has an interesting name. It has -
1 1/2 shots vodka
1/2 shot sloe gin liqueur
1/2 shot Southern Comfort liquueur
3 1/2 shots freshly squeezed orange juice (must be for your 5 a day)
1/4 shot Galliano l'Autentico liqueur

Shake first four ingredients with ice and strain into glass. Float Galliano on top.

Then try to walk in a straight line.
I think it must have got its name because you wouldn't refuse a SCSATW after a few of these.

Elegran !
Thus speaks the voice of experience???

Loopylou I have never actually sampled the drink, but my son mentioned it once, and was rather shocked when I laughed - seemed to think I was above even knowing about such matters.

elegran Im shocked

I'm ROFL Elegran
(and I haven't had even so much as a sherry yet today [grin)
