Did some Espresso Martinis (inspired by Brockles) for after-dinner* cocktails on Friday night. Very nice.



*That's 'tea' to any professional Geordies on here btw ;)

Lush! :D

That espresso martini recipe looks great.

Whiskey sour (done properly) is another favourite of mine. I might have to crash your next cocktail do! ;)

I've probably mentioned it before but the best Whiskey Sour I ever had was at the Hard Rock Cafe in Amsterdam. Wasn't on the menu but the bartender made it anyway. Was a little too under the influence of a variety of substances to see how he made it, which was a shame. Always wanted to mix one up with egg white myself to make it smoother.

No, I'd actually had one a while ago, then Brock mentioned them on here so I looked them up. There's a few recipes but that one looked the nicest. Creme de Cacao (despite the name) isn't a creamy liquer though. It's the clear, white chocolate (i.e. vanilla) flavoured stuff that Bols etc. make. You could do a version where you replaced it with something like Baileys which would be more like a White Russian though but I think I preferred the sound of that version. It was sweet enough but not too sickly.
I did sort of invent my own cocktail that was similar which is basically just White Creme de Cacao x 1 shot, Vanilla Stoli x 1.5 Shots and half a shot of sugar syrup shaken with ice, poured into a Martini glass and topped with grated white chocolate. One for the ladies like but it's always gone down a storm. I doubt it, or at least something very similar, hasn't been tried before though. Also did a similar one using raspberry Absolut instead of the vanilla Stoli. Works just as well as white chocolate/vanilla goes with raspberry anyway.

Had an excellent one in Berlin recently, at some kind of cocktail waiter training bar of all places :unsure:, and there was egg white involved. Not sure they'd know how to make it again as there's no actual menu or anything, you're just encouraged to test them by asking them for cocktail x, y or z on spec. All very Berlin really.

As for tonight, I'm making an indent into a €5 bottle of ouzo. Weekend trips to Germany do strange things to me and my luggage.
How did we get from the Blue Lamp Disco to cracking up in San Francisco?

Had loads of Kirin in the Forth yesterday washed down with Glenmorangie.  By far the best lager I've ever had, once you've had you'll think all other beers are shit.

anyone ever had half a guinness with a shot of gin in it? Fucking lovely, lush end-of-night drink.
