Tonight I are mostly drinking.....

[Cubist]

Well, a sort of modern take on it anyway.

It's a Berni Inn style liqueur coffee! Madness took me, and I put a hefty slug of Singleton Malt in a paris goblet, added two espresso cups of Lavazza Qualita Rossa and floated some double cream on the top. Joy and wonder indeed!

Takes me straight back to the days of Berni Inns, where you had to have a schooner of sherry, a rump steak done medium rare, followed by either a black forest gateau or a cheese board involving the saltiest danish blue on the planet, rounded off, of course, with a liqueur coffee of your choice.

Is there anybody out there who eschewed the rumps steak in favour of the Duck A L'Orange???????

 

[Cubist]

As an aside, putting it in coffee has really brought out a smoky finish to the malt which I hadn't really noticed before......

Prawn cocktail with that Sir?

I'm drinking Eichof Braugold.

I had a Harvey Wallbanger the other day. It was great, but the bloody Galliano bottle's too tall for the cupboard and it's too ironic for the kitchen. It's superb with raspberies thouh.

Ah ha!! The novelty shaped liqueur bottle.

Is there anybody who does NOT have a bottle of banana flavoured liqueur from the Balearics languishing in the back of the drinks cabinet? You know the one.... it either tasted good when you were absolutely wankered on the last night of the holiday so you stupidly wasted your duty free allowance on the bloody stuff, or a so-called friend brought you one back from their holiday as a pressy......

I don't have a bottle of the aforementioned liqueur and I've never tasted the stuff.

I am prepared to act as a repository for all unwanted bottles of the stuff.

I'll see if it's still there Vernon, but I have a feeling I threw it out when the sugar crystals forming in the neck of the bottle evolved and ate their way out of the cork.......

The only place to get a schooner of sherry was at the old type Yate's Wine Lodge. Long wooden tables and benches. I once took a young lady there on our first date. When she asked where I was taking her, she was quite impressed when I said a wine lodge. After a few schooners she saw the funny side of it thank god. A good night was had by all. Ah! wonderful memories.

Did you finish off with some Blue Nun, or a Watney's Party Seven?

I was a little un in the seventies, and I remeber at every party we went to we always tried to sneak a swig from the Watney's, ah happy days!

A friend of mine still drinks Snowballs, made from Warninks Advocaat.

Ahh, the Watneys Red Barrel Party 7. Staple of all teenage parties until the early 80's. As a Scout I had the requisite skill set required to open the damn tin using all available tools (Usually a screwdriver and a large blunt object)

 

[brockers]

The Irish Coffee Takes me back. It was always me who made it at the family gatherings; a skill which I took to college which I gained a reputation for. But like all things studenty it was never done in half-measures. I'd make it by the pint in Guinness glasses.

Now THAT shows my age!

Also shows a culture change, morning drinking is no longer Advocaated

As young lads (about 10yrs old) on a Saturday we'd wait for the Davenports delivery man to pull up in our street.

as he went off on foot to deliver, we'd sneak a bottle each off the lorry and go over the recreational grounds

with our trusty penknife with bottle opener.

I like the city gent on his bicycle.





Maybe he's got an Armadildo drinking problem and lost his driving licence.
