ElvisThePelvis Posted July 4, 2016 Report Share Posted July 4, 2016 Over the years I cannot count the amount I times I have returned home dying for a beer, glass of wine, anything, to find nothing suitable ( I tend not to have supplies for 'school nights') and having to concoct something... (Pub is closed on Mondays) I'm sure that I am not alone, I think we should share our makeshift cocktails.. Tonight I am mostly drinking sloe gin and blackberry vodka over ice with lime flavoured sparkling water. Other triumphs include: Sherry and ginger beer Tequila, Ribena and sparkling water Gun, Elderflower presse and lime sparkling water. Fails include - Port and cider ( to be fair I was wasted when I came up with than one) Brandy and milk (suggested by the Internet) I look forward to the recipes of others...

Danger-Mouse Posted July 4, 2016 Report Share Posted July 4, 2016 Red wine and ginger beer. This one came about with a bottle of wine that had been opened but not finished and had become somewhat unpalatable overnight. Works with white wine too. Hot milk with rum and a spoonful of honey. Great cold remedy. That`s my excuse and I`m sticking to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fatcatsplat Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 In Spain a week or so ago, red wine and cola - Really quite refreshing like an odd sangria. Jagermeister and Tizer Southern Comfort and lime cordial - Really rather jolly Port and Guinness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitebridges Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 It's good to go somewhere different and drink and eat for that matter what the locals drink FCS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatcatsplat Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 Whitebridges - That's exactly what it was - We were in Bilbao eating excellent pintxos or tapas (cos' it's basque innit!) and inbetween the lovely Rioja and Gin and Tonics, we found some locals drinking the Kailmotxo (the tx is a ch sound), so when in Rome!!

7daysinaweek Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 Aperol is my fave tipple, started drinking it a bout five years ago in italy, kept noticing all the itialians drink it morning noon and night. was immeadiately hooked on its taste, very bitter sweet and a beautiful golden color. it is mixed with proseco or white wine with a large slice of orange and refered to as spritz. asda has started to stock it a couple of years ago and was in town the other night and noticed all the trendy bars now stock it. yum, yum!
