Hester Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 (edited) I don't drink ... wine... and I know sweet F.A. about it. But, I needed a relatively inexpensive red wine to make the gravy for my Prime Rib roast tomorrow night. So, I browsed around the liquor store and fell in love with this piratey-looking bottle: Wonder if my dinner guest will try a glass with the roast? Edited December 19, 2008 by Hester

Hester Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 Before bed, I had rum-laced eggnog. [but obviously the effects of my nightcap have worn off, or else I wouldn't be wide awake at this ungoddessly hour!] And I used Appleton Estates Reserve rum in the eggnog. As I opened the bottle, I noticed it had a strong scent of butterscotch. Mmmmm!
Red Cat Jenny Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 Whooo Hester that sounds good! Well being off fer once yesterday found me befriending some Cap'n n diet coke, a tot of Courvoussier and later a Bailey's rocks while I trimmed the tree. Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.... Her reputation was her livelihood. I'm a pirate, love. By nature and by choice! My inner voice sometimes has an accent! My wont? A delicious rip in time...

Hester Posted December 30, 2008 Posted December 30, 2008 Due to unforseen circumstances, I'm going to be cooling my heels at home on New Year's Eve, instead of tripping the light fantastic under the fairy lights. Bugger! So, now, as a consolation prize, I'm looking for the perfect champagne cocktail with which to ring in the New Year dulce domum. Here's a good collection of champagne cocktail recipes that I've been browsing for ideas: http://www.thefiftybest.com/wine/best_champagne_cocktails/ ... Still haven't picked the winner yet, though.
Hester Posted December 30, 2008 Posted December 30, 2008 Okay, I have a winner in my 2008 New Year's Eve chez moi Champagne Cocktail contest: Champagne & Litchi juice
RustyNell Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 my hubby makes a champagne cocktail he calls a Chrispy of course he named it after himself, he's so humble, but to be honest it actually suits the drink its 60% Moet and 40% RedBull. It's actually a great New Years drink, you'll stay up till the ball drops. what I'm drinking now, a tall glass of cold milk right before bed, old habits die hard. “PIRACY, n. Commerce without its folly-swaddles, just as God made it.” Ambrose Bierce

Hester Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 (edited) I recently bought a bottle of rum, and it came with a little 'bonus' bottle of liqueur attached to it: Sour Puss Apple I've been wondering what the hell to do with it. So, I started Googling cocktails recipes, and I came up with this page of really cool Postmodern Martini recipes: http://www.statlersonchurch.com/index.php?...6&Itemid=29 I'm thinking I'll go with the "Candy Apple", since I just happen to have a large bottle of Phillips Butter Ripple liqueur in the pantry. Might swap Appleton Estate amber rum for the apple vodka, though. (And that makes sense, since that's what the mini Sour Puss bottle was originally attached to.) I'll let you know how it turns out. I might even take pictures. Edited January 6, 2009 by Hester
