Ransom Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 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. ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold... You can do everything right, strictly according to procedure, on the ocean, and it'll still kill you. But if you're a good navigator, a least you'll know where you were when you died.......From The Ship Killer by Justin Scott.

Hester Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 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. 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. 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.
Ransom Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 Drat, our state run liquor stores don't carry the winter one either. 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. ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold...

Hester Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 Well, we were out of apple juice, but I did make myself a hot toddy last night with brandy, Cointreau & sliced clementines that was quite nice. Not particularly Pimm'sy, but cozy.
Red Cat Jenny Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 OOh I'd like on eof those..I'm stuck with Cranberry juice right now. Wheres the vodka and lime?

Hester Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 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!
