Recipe for your favourite tipple(s)

[fifty5]

How do you fix your favourite drink, or drinks?

Could be trivial:
Open bottle of claret, pour into glass.

More detailed:
Take a pint glass,
Cut a slice of lemon and put into glass,
Add 4 or 5 large ice cubes,
Pour in 3 to 7 oz of gin (depending on mood and degree of thirst)
Top up with tonic water
(Both gin and tonic kept refrigerated).

Or something in between:
Mix brandy and Baileys (or Ballycastle from Aldi) in a tumbler.
Adjust proportions (b:B) from 1:1 to 5:1 according to how soon you want to fall over...
(Smallish ones at 1:1 are suitable for the 'candy is dandy' scenario - they don't taste as strong as they are!)

A worthwhile 10001.
Have a beer.

Me? Like you said, open bottle of red wine or port and pour into glass.
Sit back and relax, watch the world go by.

And when for what?

Sat in the sun, beer is best.

After a hard day's work, a G & T.

Ready for bed, a Bally Fortress (b&B)

My fav?

You chill a big glass mug

In the blender
Add Vanilla ice cream (Not bryers or the good stuff, but any old stre variety will work fine)
Add hersheys chocolate suyrp
Add rootbeer schanps
Vodka and
Enough milk to start the liquifying

Blend on puree, adding milk, suyrp and vodka to taste.

Jamocha rootbeer float. YUM!

(Yes, I know it's weak, very weak, but it's the way I like it )

Winter drink:

Or for a cold...

Put as much sugar as you like in tea or coffee (the max) into a heat-proof glass
Soak with lemon juice
Drown in whisky
Top up with boiling water.

For a cold:
Take drink and something (traditionally a hat) to bed, place hat at bed foot.
Drink until you see 2 hats (or whatever)
Sleep.

Doesn't cure the cold, but you don't care!

Hmm, not sure if it's an official cocktail or anything like that. But I know one restaurant which has it on the menu as a 'Southern Blonde'.

It's basically a large glass of strong tea with a measure of southern comfort and a layer of whipped cream. (Although I usually don't have whipped cream at home.)

I only drink this on special occasions as a treat, though. I usually just drink tea and water.

When you really need to fall down or forget that something hurts...

Fill a pint glass half-way or so with Guinness.
Dump in a shot of Jameson.
Fill a shot glass with Bailey's.
Drop the shot in the glass and chug...
You have maybe 10 seconds til the Bailey's starts to curdle.
Tastes like YooHoo.

I Irish Car Bombs!

ohmigod...
i just love these but if you have a small stomach, forget it.
gatta drink fast but hell if it isnt worth it!
