    The cocktail thread

    A thread for amateur mixologists to share ideas 🙂

    Came up with this tonight:

    50ml London dry gin
    25ml buttermilk
    1tsp approx golden syrup
    Half an egg white
    Nutmeg
    Cinnamon

    Dry shake wet ingredients and egg white for around 15 seconds then add ice to your shaker and shake for another 15.

    Strain into a frozen martini or coupe glass, then sprinkle with nutmeg and cinnamon.

    Reminds me of the best bits of an egg custard tart with a boozy kick.

    I have zero experience in creating drinks but I was encouraged to come up with a cocktail for a charity "do";

    1 part dark rum
    1 part light/white rum
    2 parts pineapple juice
    1 part orange juice

    Shake & serve over ice

    Lace over grenadine and blue Curacao.

    I'm not sure how I came up with that mix, but it didn't taste half bad, very similar to a candy dummy you'd buy when on your hols at Blackpool,,,, it also won the charity comp!

    Has anyone tried a pint of Guinness with a measure or two of Tia Maria?

    I had never heard of it until it was mentioned by someone recently but I was reminded of it again today.

    It's meant to be lovely.

    I've had that a few times. It's very nice and very easy to drink.

    Once done a similar thing but with port instead of Tia Maria. It goes down a treat (too well in fact), but it gave me the worst hangover I've ever had.

    Half pint of Guinness.

    Two shots of Irish Whiskey.

    Drop a shot of Baileys into it and neck it asap as it curdles.

    The "Irish car bomb".

    Not quite a cocktail but I've had some fun with those in my time. Separates the men from the boys on football team nights out.

    I think that gets a mention further down the page on the link I posted earlier.

    I had several of them a few years ago the worst head the next day I can ever remember. All a distant memory now though, bevvy really has lost it’s appeal to me and certainly the big sessions,had no more than six pints in the last eight months, changed days I tell you.

    Isn't that a Black Velvet?

    Edit: just googled it and Black Velvet is Guinness and champagne.

    At the time I was told it was called a depth charge, but I'm not sure that's right either.

    I disagree. A well made Bloody Mary is a thing to die for.

    A well made Old Fashioned is divine, ditto a mojito.

    Generally prefer the more "fruity" end of the cocktail range, to avoid some multiple booze varieties petrol-substitute thing that I sometime read on a cocktail menu and get a shiver just thinking about it.

    In general though, mine's a pint

    Ever tried a treacle mate? A old fashioned variant, with Dark Jamaican Rum instead of Bourbon, and a splash of fresh apple juice. Absolutely Devine.

    Let a fresh jalapeño (stab it with a fork a couple of times first) steep in the coconut milk for an hour beforehand. You’re welcome.

    I remember explaining gently to an American girl that her plans to go to Dublin and ask for an "Irish car bomb" in the bars would quite possibly not end well and she had no idea why that might be

    Sounds vile and the probable state of your guts and head the morning after is unimaginable

    50ml gin
    125ml pineapple juice
    1tsp sriracha hot sauce

    Shake vigorously over ice, strain into a glass with ice. Garnish with fresh pineapple.

    So simple but really, really delicious.

    I was with an American acquaintance (someone I met at a conference) in a bar in Dublin a few years back and he asked for a Black and Tan (not really a cocktail per se, but a mixing of light and dark beers) - as soon as I heard the word "...and..." I tried to stop him but the word "tan" isn't very long. It was like a movie-scene moment - everyone around the bar turned utterly silent and looked at him.

    Safe to say the pint he got instead (after being told politely that his request wasn't welcome) was downed quickly and he moved on (I stayed put, as the folk around the bar made it quite clear my face/reaction were a picture, and ended up having a great night).

    Cocktail of choice is a well made Long Island Iced Tea (though some people just dump alcohol into them), a mojito or a caipirinha.
