Toast 16,137 Posted August 26, 2023 I tried an Alexander's Sister tonight. Gin, crème de menthe, cream, sugar syrup It was OK, but somewhat marred, I thought, by the suggested nutmeg garnish. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toast 16,137 Posted August 27, 2023 A L'Ancienne Du Bois Brandy, walnut liqueur, cocktail cherries, maple syrup, orange bitters Wow, this is nice. I didn't have the specified bitters so used orange bitters, and my own home-made nocello (walnut liqueur). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toast 16,137 Posted September 1, 2023 Last night I indulged in a very naughty International Incident Baileys, vodka, amaretto, Kahlua, Frangelico A little heavy on the Baileys; another time I would halve that to match the others. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What do you think the afore mentioned Theakston's Old Peculier is? But if there is a problem with beer I will delete it, I wouldn't want to anoy the fourm's self appointed peeler. Would this meet with your approval? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toast 16,137 Posted September 1, 2023 Your beers are most welcome, Paddy. The thread is about what it says in the title. No exclusions. Meanwhile today I happened upon a reasonably priced bottle of crème de mure (blackberry liqueur). I've always preferred this to cassis in a kir, so I snapped it up. Have just enjoyed a delicious Bramble Gin, lemon juice, sugar syrup, crème de mure and loads of ice. Beautiful. This one but it was only £13.99 in a local independent off-licence. Bargain! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
