Candy Apple Martini

IMG_0401.jpg

I made some substitutions from the original recipe:

Sour Puss Apple

Butter Ripple Schnapps

Appleton Estates Amber Rum

Apple Juice

Marischino cherry syrup

Proportions to taste. Shake with ice.

Moral of the story: When the Liquor Store gives you Sour Apple -- make martinis!

At the moment, Irish Breakfast tea. Straight.

Oh, Hester, have you run across any recipes for a hot Pimm's drink? The only one I've found is mixing it with hot lemonaide, which didn't sound very appealing...mainly because the first thing I thought of was that it would taste like cold medicine. :ph34r:

...schooners, islands, and maroons

and buccaneers and buried gold...

Well, Pimm's actually makes a brandy-based version, Pimm's Winter (originall called Pimm's Cup #3). [The gin-based summertime version that we've been drinking is Pimm's #1].

Alas, the LCBO (government controlled and operated liquor stores here in Ontario) doesn't carry Pimm's Winter, so I haven't been able to try it. :ph34r:

Apparently, in addition to the brandy base, it's infused with citrus flavours and spices, and is intended to be mixed with hot apple juice.

I think we might be able to bodge together an approximation from Brandy, Cointreau and the usual mulling spices. :ph34r:

Drat, our state run liquor stores don't carry the winter one either. :unsure: I was lucky just to get the Pimm's #1. However, mixing #1 with spiced apple juice sounds interesting, and might work. Back to the lab....er, liquor cabinet.

It's been so cold here the last few days, I've had to drink my rum hot.

I've been enjoying dark hot chocolate with a healthy slug of rum in it.

And last night, I made a cup of "Hot Grog". In a tea mug, mix together:

1 shot Jamaican rum

1/2 shot Cointreau

2 lime wedges, lightly squeezed

Boiling water to fill cup

Warms the cockles, it does!

Port

Solitary drinking in the middle of the afternoon on a weekday -- hurray!

[beats the hell out of 'group therapy'. LOL]

(Besides, the bottle was a Xmas gift. And it's been open and in the fridge for over a week now, so I thought I'd better finish it before it goes off.)
