Strawberry Jam Cocktail anyone?

I was in a restaurant tonight and they had a strawberry jam mojito

Quite appropriate for AH I thought!

What's your favourite cocktail? Mine's a classic mojito!

Cookie_Monster

Appletini, easy on the tini

MadsL

Bourbon. On the rocks. Hold the rocks. Leave the bottle.

Cocktail doesn't contain actual jam, can't express how disappointed I am

I know

I was also disappointed, I didn't have one. I had a 22oz steak so I was kinda full!

MadsL

Actually.

Lies. I do enjoy a good cocktail.

Here's one I think I invented.

Cherry Whisky Sour

Good double shot rye whiskey. 1/3 glass
Good quality sour mix 2/3 glass
Splash of the syrup in the jar of marachino cherries
Garnish with cherry on cocktail stick.

I also like Pina Coladas (and getting caught in the rain!)

That's a lot of meat. I'm impressed.


but yeah, Sex on the beach is about my favourite cocktail, if it wasn't for it's remarkable ability to remove all memory I have of the nights.

I can handle a lot of meat :cool:

Not really, I didn't even make a dent in the flippin thing. I don't really know what possessed me to order it. I hope they had a dog out the back and it didn't go in the bin

I find them rather sickening.

There's a steak challenge of a 60oz steak in a place in Newbridge, I take it you aren't interested in that then?

Funny, Pina Coladas do the same to me..bought it bottled whilst on holiday in Santa Ponsa a few years back (cos of that feckin song) and it's just rotten, tried making it nicer by adding vodka and orange and various other crap to it but to be fair I think it was a lost cause.

edit: then again, they might be nice actually made up properly. We could have been sold gone off milk for all I know

They had one of those challenges in the place I was in, a 50oz porterhouse steak, you got your name on a plaque!

Pre made cocktail stuff is never gonna be good. Proper pina coladas are amazing!

Free 72oz steak in Amarillo, Texas if you can finish it.

Meanwhile I recommend the original cocktail; absinthe topped up with champagne, go easy though.

Forget the cocktails, lets talk about steak.

I like steak.

scudzilla

How long before threads incorporating Jam in the title are worthy of infractions, same as YORE MA and COOL STORY BRO?

How do you like your steak cooked? I had mine medium rare. It was perfick tonight. Some places make it too medium. I like it bloody but slightly warm in the middle.

OldGoat

Martini.

Chill a large cocktail glass.
Chill all the gin, stir don't shake.
Add chilled gin to chilled glass.
Let the gin see a bottle of vermouth way off in the distance.
Twist of lemon peel.

Tried a white russian for the first time recently. Think I'll be trying another soon... Once I've found a cocktail bar in Donegal..

Mr Benevolent

Daiquiri or pina colada.

Ihatecuddles-old

Anything with vodka and grenadine!

I made a lovely one before. Vodka, orange juice, peach shnapps, grenadine, champagne and some coconut stuff I got in America.

I honestly couldn't give a shite about cocktails but the steak talk is giving me a semi. Where was this 50 oz porterhouse challenge?

Rabies

Those drinks are a little over priced for what they are.

Eponymous

I got a taste for caipirinhas when I was at a party in Germany a few years ago. I think it's the drunkest I've ever been in my 40+ years on the planet, but I couldn't stop drinking them.

Also a big fan of Margueritas despite not liking tequila and Lynchburg Lemonade despite not liking any kind of whisky.

Oh, and Long Island Iced tea too...

Alabama Slammer's are mine

But when I make it, I treble the Southern Comfort, double the gin and add a dash of red grenadine. Then fall down (after 3 or three).

My big problem with cocktails, and why I rarely drink them. Alcohol is expensive enough in this country!

I'm guessing you might have had a couple (or 2) already today!

Surprised me a little when I spotted it out of the corner of my eye after having been working in another tab for a while..

AH answer......strawberry jam? I prefer marmalade.

Seriously, I like a Tom Collins from time to time. A little boring but nice for a change.

herisson

Margaritas are my favourite. Nom.

rainbow kirby

Not a cocktail fan in general, I'd prefer a good beer. A standard mojito is quite nice though.

They're in dollars so not quite as bad. I had a glass of wine the other evening, got the bill and it was 15.50 was really lovely wine though.

The Mint bar in Dublin is mad money for cocktails, the Morgan is the same but the atmosphere in the place is cracking.

Long Island Iced Tea

Frozen strawberry daiquiri.... Om nom nom.

When I was in New Orleans I had a cocktail called The Hand Grenade, which is supposedly really strong but I had two and I was grand. Comes in a really cool container though. I want one now

Das Kitty

Tom Collins made with a good gin and freshly squeezed lemon juice.

Divine.

The trick with Margaritas is to not let aything made by Jose Cuervo into the glass. With the exception of their Tradicional and Reserva Familia brands, all their tequilas are made with only 51% agave, with the rest being cheap sugar alcohol, basically cheap hooch. That's why people get sick shooting tequila.

I realise that this will be difficult in Ireland but try for a brand with 100% agave, especially if doing shots. Patron is expensive but well worth it, and you won't get sick on it.

You can say that again. Margarita. MARGARITA. Margarita. Absolutely divine especially when I make them myself. Yum.

Good quality tequila. Half a bottle.
Cointreau. About 2/8ths of the bottle.
Maybe 10 limes, another 10 or more tangerines (I like it zesty) and a strawberries just to mix it up a little.
Ice.

Blend and serve. It takes like unicorn pee. Magical.

TPD

That reminds me - the blended margaritas in Tia Margaritas is San Francisco - delicious. Blender full of ice - shots of tequila poured over this (with the bottle still pouring while each measure is being tipped in), triple sec added (same deal with the generous measures), a ****load of limes squeezed in. Turn it on, pour it out, get fecking hammered after two. No salt for me though.

Without the jam yes please!

Is almost as over rated as a Cosmopolitan

Alabama Slammer - especially the one in Captain America's.

Mysteriouschic

Appletini or sex on the beach

super_furry

Elderflower Collins for drinking, Long Island Iced Tea to go from zero to party in five minutes.
