Strawberry Fizz

*Makes 4 servings

1 can (5 fluid ounces) Pet Evaporated Milk or Pet Light Evaporated Skimmed Milk
2/3 cup lemon-lime or orange soda, regular or diet
1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen strawberries
4 tsps. sugar or 1 tsp. artifical sweetener

Combine all ingredients in blender until smooth.Serve immediately.

Note: Frozen fruit makes this beverage icy cold; if using fresh fruit, I suggest serving over crushed ice.

That would make a nice cool drink on a hot day.....hope I can remember this one when summer time comes this way again

Here's another.

Easy Chocolate Pudding Milk Shake

3 cups cold skim milk
1 pakage (4 serving size) Jello Chocolate Pudding and Pie Filling

Drank rather a lot of this last night with my friend
100ml Vodka
Splash of Lime cordial
390ml Deep springs mineral water - I had Melon and Mandarin (tastes likemidooori), my friend had Crushed Berries (aliantha I presume?)

Mixed in a questoinable vessel of hers I could only describe as a VAT.

Melys llymaid!! Hwyl!

Speaking of Midori, Phoebe, here are two of my favourite midori cocktails

Midori Illusion

30 ml Midori
15 ml Cointreau
15 ml Vodka
45 ml lemon juice
15 ml lime
Shake with ice

...and...

Midori Splice

45 ml Midori
30 ml Coconut Rum
120 ml Pineapple Juice
15 ml cream
Build over ice in a tall glass

They're oldies but goodies....But I can only handle one..of each

mmm .. and some non-alchoholic beverages for the minors .. tried a milo smoothy??

its easy ..

milo
icecream
milk ''

shake and blend .. do not stir lol

12oz frozen lime juice
12oz corona
12oz tokillya
12oz 7up

let freeze over night, serve with salted rim margarita glass.

mmm sounds nice ..

sometimes i think not drinking is like missing out on lots of tasty liquidy sensations

Presumably, everybody's thought of recipes for aliantha, but I came up with this:

Freeze fresh lime juice and then crush with a little salt until it's a slushy consistency - you want to be able to just taste the salt in the finished product.
2 parts Archer's Peach schnapps
1 part Bacardi

Try to resist throwing the glass over your shoulder, as most publicans frown upon this.

And, my own recipe for Black Russians:

1 part Kahlua
1 part vodka
2 parts strong espresso, chilled

vodka
cranberry juice

my recipe

Tea, ginger and lemon, with a widdershins stir

Once upon a time last yearwe were sitting outside a Barcelona cafe and had this wonderful wonderful drink. However our Catalan friend didn't have the english to tell us what it was made from, but we sort of got the impression it was almonds. every now and again I try to remember what it was called, and sometimes i remember it was something like 'archata'.


But today I decided to really find out, because it was SO nice! And here it is, 'orxata de xufes' ( different from the american/mexican horchata apparently)



en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horchata

If you're ever in Spain, and get a chance.....! You will not regret it!

Today I sampled Root Beer for the first time.

I will NOT be sampling it ever again!

<-- not a fan of root beer. Unless it is fresh from a tapped barrel with Co2 freshly added as it is drawn.

A good birch beer is a gift of the g-ds though.

We used to buy root beer by the gallon at the local A&W. It's pretty awesome when it is freshly dispensed. Some root beers can be harsh and soapy tasting, so I wonder if Stone shouldn't try another brand?

Dad's root beer is the only root beer worth drinking, imho. And Vernor's is the only decent ginger ale.

This sounds good but where the heck do you find "vanilla ice milk"?

I think it's called "light" ice cream nowadays.

oh wow I bought some of this today



after sampling in the shop. Chilled, it's gonna be a great addition to my fridge
