...with a Generous Spoonful of Marmalade.

Uhmm...marmalade? Sounds intriguing. Any particular brand?

 

[Holdfast]

Gigolo Martini ~ Vanilla Vodka Shaken with Passion Fruit Syrup, Passion Fruit Puree and Finished with Prosecco. Served with half a passion fruit with ignited spirit within ~ first time I tried it I complained to Son (he works at the restaraunt) that 'someone had set fire to my fruit' and I wonder why he cringes when I go in

Or Marmalade Martini ~ Gin, Cointreau and Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice Shaken with a Generous Spoonful of Marmalade. I have mine with vodka, I'm not a gin lover.

All available at happy hour for a mear £4! Bargain~atious

Those sound pretty weird. Or they would, if I hadn't just googled what Canadave was on about with this:

I don't drink a lot of cocktails, but if I had to go with one, it'd easily be the Caesar. They're great in the summer.

I mean, Bloody Marys aren't awful, and I've even had a Bull Shot and not exactly disliked it... but a Bloody Mary with clams in it?

Brandy & soda water or Southern Comfort & soda water.

Can I just say 'orange'

Really tasty thou ~ and one of your '5-a-day' ~ it has fruit in it

Not a big cocktail-guy. I usually order a White Russian whenever I'm tired of beer.. Happy to check out this thread for recommendations, though..

first time I tried it I complained to Son (he works at the restaraunt) that 'someone had set fire to my fruit' and I wonder why he cringes when I go in

"Will you please set fire to my passion fruit" has to be the awesomest pick-up line ever.

but a Bloody Mary with clams in it?

I wikied Clamato. No way it is real.

I'm sure you do, but what cocktails do you like?

(oh, come on, the joke was begging to be made. I'm actually surprised the thread has got this far without references to Orgasms, Sex on the Beach or having Long Slow Comfortable Screws against the Wall with Satin Pillows... but I'm proud of you all for resisting the tempation to go for the cheap gags!)

The best thing about it is that the article I found explaining the Caesar/the clamato component cited Linguine con le vongole as justification for its creation. See what you Italians are responsible for? Mussolini pales in comparison to this.

Oh they really are delicious, and yes I just googled a Caesar too and would decline.

Once, when in a mean mood, this total a'hole of a chap came in to the bar at 11.30 am, with a group of 'friends' and asked for a 'Bloody, make it hot'. Half a bottle of tabasco later he was asking for iced water.

Why don't people realise that it is those that you order from that are in charge

I will try it. But if it fails I will blame you Iggi

We're obviously too mature

Or haven't had sex for a while...

That's a cocktail by the way

I assumed that might come with the day-shift...(or later shift for North American brethren). Or could just be avoiding shame

Best cocktail additional ingredients: Tabasco. Angostura bitters.

Wow, that's vicious!

(you should probably have added more horseradish too)

I did get the celery to stick up his nose

I suspect he's lucky that no other orifice was explored.

Angostura bitters.

^ a work of demented genius indeed.

 

[lurok]

^not quite as demented as mauby. Which does taste neat like licking bark (which it effectively is). But a great cocktail ingredient.

 

[Avon]

I do like a Gorilla's Tit.

and an extra spicy Bloody Mary.

and an olive-packed martini thing.

and something rainbow colored and fruity.

 

[Starbreaker]

Tequila sunrise and/or Bahama mama

 

[PKTrekGirl]

I do not drink fru-fru drinks, and so I have a pretty small repertoire:

1. Gin & Tonic in warm months

2. Scotch/rocks in cool months (must be single malt or for more 'everyday' use, Johnny Walker Black or better)

3. Margaritas with Mexican food.

4. The occasional vodka & OJ.

In addition to the above, I drink wine when in a beer or wine only environment. I hardly ever drink beer.

We disclaim all responsibility for what was the work of a mentally unstable Canadian who had too much pot in Piazza San Marco. What's next? Bolognese sauce martini? Parmigiana Cuba Libre? Will the madness ever stop?

My brother loves Caesars. I think they're vile.

Heh, don't knock it until you've tried it. I never used to understand the appeal, but I had one once and I love 'em. The clam flavour really isn't as strong as you think it might be.
