Long Island Iced Tea from the Marriott County Hall in London. Made better because they were free!!!

a few years ago in benidorn we got completley couldnt satnd up bladdered on cocktails

we were trying to get rid of all the change we had left on the last night there
and decided to put it in a bandit
we still dont know how we did it till this day but it kept spewing pesatas out at us
we had that many we couldnt carry them all
so we decided to go through all the cocktails on the menu
we had allsorts some had sparklers in and some were delivered to the table on fire

never again i tell you will i ever drink a cocktail (makes me feel queezy just thinking about it)

My favourite is a fresh home made Pina Colada.

Quite partial to a Guiness and Tia Maria, although it in't a cocktail, it's still one of my favourite drinks.

Hubby and I are usually a "pint of beer " people, however on our recent holiday, we discovered fishbowl cocktails!! O my god how lush are they. What's your holiday tipple??

Merged to existing topic

I had forgotten about the Singapore Sling from Raffles, georgeous we bought the glasses too !!!!!!!

I had a Betty's Screaming Orgasm in Protaras at the Flintstones Bar, it was lovely.
Tia Maria, Coffee Liquer, Baileys, and Milk.
YABADABA DOOOOOOO!

In a shot glass, fill it half with baileys, and half peppermint shnapps, turn it into an orgasm by topping it with whipped cream.

Slippery Nipple if you like Sambuca, or even better still if you don't.

and of course the gin based;

Long Slow Comfortable Screw Against the Wall, if you get the chance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If anyone likes cocktails, I'm willing to tell a few!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

great thread !
one of the best for me was mexico 1999, first holiday to the carribean ( cheap and chearful, allocated on arrival holiday, pre- kids )
we were ( naively ) shocked to find the hotel was full of americans ( and it was spring break, wonder why it was so cheap !!!!! )
anyway, I was getting a bit hacked off by the fact we coudn't get to the swim up pool bar most days, so I got all our fellow brits together and declared a 'brit only' pool party and , bless him, Angel, the barman said he would try and concoct a cocktail that would look like the union jack flag !!!!!!! it did turn out purple as u'd imagine and it tasted minging, to this day I can't remember what was in it, but every day, Angel would have a 'brit special ' waiting for us to drink all day, every day !!! didn't have the heart to tell him it was eugh !!!! tell you what though, it grought all the nationalities together, as everyone was eager to try this 'brit special '!!!

I'm another fan of a real mojito, had my first one in havana at earnest hemmingways favourite haunt, delicious !!!! that was the year after mexico, much better than that 'brit special' !!!

not a cocktail, but enjoyed a few flaming sambucas in golf del sur, tenerife. They dont half warm you up if its a bit on the nippy side

Hi
Mine are White Russians. Last year my eldest son was alowed to make them in the bar that we frequented - I was on my third and realised I had to go to bed!!!!!
This year I have decded to be a bit more adventerous and try more.

I love a good cocktail but none stand out as being the 'best'. However, I have a tendency to choose one that isn't the fanciest looking or the yummiest tasting but has the most alcohol content.

Long Island Iced Tea. Made properly, even though it's got about 5/6 spirits in it, it does taste a bit like tea.

Hic..............

mine has to be a cosmopolitan from the hilton bar in manchester, or from living room manchester, its my fave 2nd best is a bellini from piccolinos is manchester its the best!!!

Only just found your mojito tips one year later!! Will have to try again.

I've been perfecting them even further since the original post! The new crushed ice maker does a grand job but if you're not careful the ice melts far too quickly, so now the rum and fizzy water live permenently in the fridge so they start off as cold as possible. And I also now use a cocktail shaker to mix the rum, lime juice and suger and mash the mint, give it all a good shake with ice cubes - which really helps mash the mint and releases the oils in the mint - then strain it into glasses over the crush iced and add a sprig of fresh mint.

Must remember to get some mint in for the weekend

SM

Mines has to be purple rains in jamaica. The only problem was if you spilled any it would stain your clothes! I just made sure every last drop went in my mouth haha!

The best cocktail I have ever had, was a Winky Woo! Yes, that's it's name!

Made up and bought for me in the exotic location of the British Legion lounge near my parents house!

I'll have to get the ingredients off my mum later when I ring her, then I'll post them on here.

I remember that HelenT, I don't know, embarassing your kids like that . My favourite is mai tai fishbowl, or sex on the beach

I think my tastiest drink ever was the Bellini I had in Odette's restaurant on primrose Hill, London, a fortnight ago. It was out of this world - proper champagne and raspberry schnaps, complete with a cherry in the bottom of the glass. Yummy
