    The tequila sunrise, as per Blisterman...
    How about a Tequila Sunrise. Very nice and makes you feel like you're on some tropical beach.

    You take a shot of tequila, add some Orange Juice, and pour in some grenadine syrup. The grenadine should sink to the bottom and create a cool gradient look.

    Grenadine sryup's quite hard to find, but you can get it in the bigger off licences, and a bottle lasts for ages.

    12th February 2006

    tSubh Dearg nominated Champagne as DOTW, so here it is. However, she never pointed out a brand (other than a little-known bottle of loveliness from her local offlicence that's so lovely she's not sharing the name lest the price go up :D )

    So I've gone with my special occasion brand of preference, Veuve Cliquot. It's not Krug, but then again there's not much that is. Incidentally, the force behind this drinkie is a woman - Madame Cliquot picked up the reins of the estate when her husband died prematurely in the early 1800s and created a tour de force ([/unintentional French punnage]).

    If you have a different champagne you prefer, post it on the DOTW nominations thread - same for red and white wines...

    I had some of that last week. My friend won a bottle for being the best dancer in a club. Pretty nice.

    This week's DOTW is Crimson Gin.

    Championed by Steveland, who's a big fan (see here) this is one of the Cork brand of gins from Irish Distillers.

    I can actually find very little about it on the internet, so am not entirely sure what makes it 'Crimson'. Comments/reviews welcome!

    Nomination

    With St. Patrick's day upon us, and before someone nominates a green beer, I want to nominate an Irish Stout. More specifically, O'Hara's, from the Carlow brewing Co.

    oharastout.jpg

    It has quickly become my favourite Irish stout. Er, that's all.

    Covonia Mentholated Expectorant

    cov149e.jpg

    Costs about £2.50 for a 150ml bottle. Alcohol content is 7.5%.

    It tastes like Sambuca/Liquorice. Certainly burns your throat enough. I'm not sure drinking it in 33ml shot measures would be healthy (or more, as it's not that strong), but you certainly won't have a cough by the end of the night!

    It's the only alcohol I've been able to touch today (or all week for that matter), fúckin flu :(

    Mikey B, why is it you frequent this board when you're drunk? Need I ask? I'm leaving your post there for humour content. Also because of the ridiculousness factor - e.g. it's such a ridiculous suggestion it's harmless. Kind of how vulgar abuse is a defense for libel.

    ... I wasn't drunk when I posted that!

    I haven't had alcohol (apart from my lovely cough mixture) in at least a week now. Reality is cold and miserable place :(

    Got the order wrong at the bar, ordered this for a friend and she wouldnt drink it. I gave her my drink and had it instead. Now I love it.

    Teachers, nice enough but never really my first choice and Finches fizzy lemon.

    Remember its still whiskey and will make legless...

    They do a grapefruit one that is equally as splendid, just drink it on the rocks.

    Do you think it might work without the bizarre cat fetish?

    On topic, I encountered Halmstad cider the other night. Specificaly, the lime and strawberry versions. They're really good, on a par with Kopparburg ciders. I recommend y'all give them a go.

    Nomination.

    Interest in the drink of the week is waning :(

    I nominate Wyborowa Polish vodka for this weeks drink of the week.

    Tesco sell it and also I buy it normally in O'Briens Sandymount, moderately high quality Polish vodka, it's the standard Polish drink really.

    This is hangover free territory, absolutely brilliant, cant recommend it enough.

    In view of the delightful sunshine outside I would like to nominate Pimms as Drink of the Week. Mixed with lemonade and garnished with strawberries and mint leaves, it's the perfect drink for enjoying the sunshine with.

    I'd like to nominate Samuel Adams as the Drink of the Week.
    If you haven't savoured this beer, you're in for a treat. It's a Lager from Boston, and is probably the best Lager, I've ever tasted.
    It's avalible in most of the better Beer off licences, such as Redmonds in Ranelagh, and O Briens.

    Seconded. A great beer. Had the pleasure of imbibing their limited edition Pale Ale while in Boston earlier this year. Even nicer...
