Title: Mojitos, Margeritas or summat else? Post by: kerry red on Saturday, February 16, 2013, 09:07:26 Having a bit of a hoolie today and fancy doing some cocktails
Mojitos seem to be a favourite, but not really being a cocktail drinker, any suggestion? Title: Re: Mojitos, Margeritas or summat else? Post by: Amir on Saturday, February 16, 2013, 09:55:34 Mojitos can be beautiful, the only problem is most people fuck them up. Frozen margeritas or daiquiris are good, especially with fruit. Other than that I'm partial to a grumpy old man from time to time.

Tricky to make well but when pulled off....superb :) Title: Re: Mojitos, Margeritas or summat else? Post by: kerry red on Saturday, February 16, 2013, 12:06:06 Well, I've gone for mojitos. Seen recipes for both Bacardi and Vodka and have plumped for vodka
Got me fresh mint, limes ready to squeeze and soda water. If it all goes tits up I've got a huge supply of Cidre Title: Re: Mojitos, Margeritas or summat else? Post by: Amir on Saturday, February 16, 2013, 12:17:59 Tricky to make well but when pulled off....superb :) The first time I tried one we'd blagged our way into a party on top of a multi-storey(note to Adver, keep that for a Miles goal scoring related headline) car park in Soho. Don't think I've had one quite as good since. The biggest sacrilege is putting the mint through the blender. Why in God's name would you do that?!?!?! Title: Re: Mojitos, Margeritas or summat else? Post by: kerry red on Saturday, February 16, 2013, 12:21:20 Tricky to make well but when pulled off....superb :) Certainly superb when pulled off - but I don't want to spill anything Title: Re: Mojitos, Margeritas or summat else?

Had mojitos in Cuba with proper Cuban rum. They were ace. Title: Re: Mojitos, Margeritas or summat else? Post by: SuggWillSugg MBE on Saturday, February 16, 2013, 13:06:42 I had a lovely cocktail last night,
White Ace and blackcurrent squash. Yummy. Title: Re: Mojitos, Margeritas or summat else? Post by: kerry red on Saturday, February 16, 2013, 13:14:28 Not a great fan of bacardi though.
Apparently I am now in a head to head challenge with a margarita maker Let battle commence!! Hope cocktails go down well with my Indian fest! Title: Re: Mojitos, Margeritas or summat else? Post by: Not that Nice If I'm Honest on Saturday, February 16, 2013, 13:26:18 Get a chilled glass, open a can of Stella, pour gently down the side

Don't think I've had one quite as good since. The biggest sacrilege is putting the mint through the blender. Why in God's name would you do that?!?!?! Disagree, using Vodka!!! Mojitos should be used with rum, dark, light or golden with pure cane dark sugar. Otherwise they'd be called Mojitoski's...... Title: Re: Mojitos, Margeritas or summat else? Post by: Samdy Gray on Saturday, February 16, 2013, 15:41:12 Not a great fan of bacardi though. Other brands are available. Should've got some Havana Club.

No. Tesco's chilled ready meal department.Title: Re: Mojitos, Margeritas or summat else? Post by: Peter Gibbons on Saturday, February 16, 2013, 16:45:25 I never really considered it a cocktail but apparently an Irish Coffee does count. Lovely on a cold day.
Title: Re: Mojitos, Margeritas or summat else? Post by: Samdy Gray on Saturday, February 16, 2013, 16:50:12 Fuck sake, I really want to get lashed on mojitos now.
Title: Re: Mojitos, Margeritas or summat else? Post by: Honkytonk on Saturday, February 16, 2013, 23:58:13 A mojito without rum is not a mojito. Smash mint stalks (that's where most of the mint juices are) with equal amounts of granulated and dark cane sugar. Then stick in 1 squeezed lime, crushed ice, then Havana Club rum and soda over the top. Give a quick stir, then top with mint leaves. Fucking amazing.

Post by: leefer on Sunday, February 17, 2013, 11:41:59 Went to Bath yesterday and had a snifter at the Couer De Lyon pub....not been there before...proper olde pub.....with a nice selection of Red Wines :D
And a tinker box of a cafe next door that does a nice line in grub. Title: Re: Mojitos, Margeritas or summat else? Post by: kerry red on Sunday, February 17, 2013, 12:14:56 The mixture of mojitos, margaritas and Cidre went down well last night.
Complemented my lamb curry with spinach and marsala mash a treat! Next time it's Long Island Ice Tea - sounds feckin' deadly Title: Re: Mojitos, Margeritas or summat else?

Brings back a few memories. |
