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.

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.

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

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.

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.
