On holiday with limited supplies so substituted Mermaid Gin for the Genever. I tried again with a drop of saline and a bar spoon of sugar syrup. Geweldig, gaan we nog een keer drinken! π³π±
No calvados available (currently holidaying on Mull) substituted the calvados with Cognac. It was delicious -and we will add the apple back in when we get home.
Tomorrow we are off on holiday to celebrate Mr H's 60th birthday (Mull so expect lots of comments on Whiskey cocktails!).
Stumbled on this beauty whilst trying to use up the contents of our fridge! I added a shake of aquafaba for said reason....it was very good! 10/11
Used Mezcal (by accident). I have no comparison - but it worked nicely.
Fit for a King...King Willem-Alexander to be precise!

I've made this a few times and decided to try a version. I used bramble jam, Hendricks flora Adora gin and added Rose liqueur....it was lovely πΉ
Finally a passion fruit based cocktail for those of us who have outgrown the "aesthetic" of ordering a drink that sounds like a mid-200s DVD title!
A lemony-appley sidecar... what's not to love about that! ππ
5 stars for a simple cocktail that is much more than the sum of its parts.
A classic and delicious. Improved with a drop of saline IMHO.
The classic side car got us hooked on cocktails, this fruity sour will keep us hooked!
Instead of the de Kuyper Apricot brandy liqueur I used equal measures of de Kuyper Sour Apple, Hallunke Apricot brandy (bought years ago in Halle)and Merlot Lune d'Abricot. It was delicious. Bright, Fruity and a perfect balance of sweet & dry.
On the recommendation of Loz Horner we find ourselves here and are not regretting it. We too had no pot still runs so chose a Discarded Banana Peel rum instead.
It's NYE 2025. As if we weren't feeling nostalgic enough, this cocktail reminded us of our first illicit alcoholic drink...sips of snowballs circa 1980.
Mayday, mayday, mayday!!! We need more time to drink another! Left us three sheets to the windβ!
Perfect compromise for the polarising Negroni lovers and haters!
I gave this to my friend "it tastes like old-fashioned sweets". Enough said!
Here like many others because I have a bottle of fine wine that needs finishing. I'd open a Grand Cru next time for this. Delicious!
"the Pisco Kids are on me!"
You had to be there I guess...the 80's I mean.
Brilliant composition and an excellent use of a Milky bar!
Note to self.... don't think twice about making this again!
Might be more of a chunky monkey if you have too manyππ
"oh I wish it could be Xmas every day!"πΆπ°ππ²
Lost a wonderful Scottish Friend last night. I made this in his honour...I'm sure he would approve. Rest in peace dear Murray.
Unexpectedly good! The bananas I used were so ripe I almost threw them...so glad I didn't. I will never feel the need to make banana bread again!
We were in the mood for something a little bit sweeter so I added 10ml of Monin vanilla syrup. I tried the drink before adding - and it was delicious in its original version too.
