Cocktails

Pina colada for me, but I do also love pimms or sangria on a hot day

Pass me a Cosmopolitan please - yummy!!

In Greece I had "a long slow comfortable screw against the wall". Yes, this really is a cocktail. Yummy!

What an excellent post, teetime! My bro has a restaurant with excellent cocktails, I shall go there after work on GE day!

Mojito, Pina colada, strawberry daiquiri- lovely memories of cocktails on the beach (mainly ice!) in Barbados for my 60th birthday. Can I go again please?

White Lady, ( preferred tipple of Sir Thomas Beecham), or a " Bonnie Lass" made by a Geordie friend. It's vodka, 43 liquor, tropical fruit juice, lemon juice & grenadine.

pina colada for me but anything that doesn't have gin in is ok!

A properly made Singapore sling which has Benedictine in it.

Rossini (like a Bellini but with strawberry instead of peach.) Or a Grasshopper (effectively alcoholic mint chocolate cream.)

Just have the Singapore Sling and ignore Raffles - overrated place. For me - a top shelf Margherita please, on the rocks. Preferably in Nashville!

A Porn Star every time - vanilla vodka, passion fruit and a champagne chaser on the side

I'm not a cocktail fan, but I like a dry martini myself. I had a Singapore sling once at a hotel in Singapore (not the Raffles), but you wouldn't want to drink too many of those!! Phew!

Mojito or classic dry martini for me.

A barman recently gave me his secret ingredient -- Funkin mixers !!! They are ready mixed, you just add the relevant alcohol and ice -- shake and it's done. A few are available from Waitrose, others online.

Pina colada please.

I wish I knew what was in the cocktail I had at the hotel on Burgh Island. I think it was the barman's own concoction, it was yum !

My favourite cocktail ever was a Sea Breeze (cranberry, grapefruit and vodka)
DS had moved to America, and it was our first visit to him in Virginia after nearly a year. He took us to New York for the weekend and as soon as we got to our hotel in mid-town Manhattan, he and MrA announced that they were off up the Empire State Building.
I was so entranced with New York I announced I was not going anywhere till I had had a cocktail in the hotel bar.
We then went up the Empire State Building and got to the top just as dusk was falling, and stayed there watching the sky turn from pink to dark blue and the city light up. Unforgettable.

Sweet tea is a favorite summertime drink and it gets just a little bit better when we add a shot of liquor to the mix.
The cocktails are extremely simple and are best with a freshly brewed, then chilled iced tea.

Ooh! Definitely a mojito please ?

Just throw the shells on the floor Auntieflo!

Oh heck, just checked, the Long Bar is shut for refurbishment.

Our WI had an Italian mixologist recently demonstrating cocktails and passing round the results, delicious! I particularly liked the Aperol spritz!

Do we get the peanuts with the Singapore Sling?

Mojito please, after joining Jalima 1108 in a Singapore Sling.

Long Island Ice Tea please.

Three different chocolate liqueurs with strawberries and little mini pipettes that inject the liqueur.

Not exactly a cocktail but my favourite all the same !

I'd love a margarita. Perfect for a summer evening.
