When I EVENTUALLY make it back...

[IMGONNABE40!]

JessicaR--Thanks for the drink list. I can also personally vouch for the kick tail powers of the Mai Tai at Tchoup Chop!

Is it me, or do the drinks at the park venues seem watered down as compared to the concoctions you get at the hotels? I had a drink at Mythos which was a raspberry lemonade featuring a top shelf citrus vodka and Chambord. Sounded promising, but absolutley no punch at all. I had a similar experience with a drink I ordered at the Backwater Bar.

Wish I were across the sea tipping a few with Selina! Perhaps our meeting spot should be the Hard Rock Cafe in London! I have always wanted to visit the original.

PS for JessicaR--Thanks for the recipe for the back home fav. You cannot tell from my bio, but I'm an Island girl myself--spent my formative years in Bethpage.

JessicaR.......got everything but the triple sexc and sour mix..........mixed it together....Wow!! eyes wateruing...it's quite strong or is that just the way I have made it

IMGONNABE40...love to meet at the Hard Rock Cafe..great idea.....the inside very similar and they serve pizza's and pastas, etc etc it's quite a few years since I have been now...used to go when I worked at the DT in London.....

Both of you come and join us on RPG thread...!!!

 

[JessicaR]

OMG Selina!!! Without the sour mix it would be awful Thats the main ingredient! Dump it quick, or you may
When you get some triple sec and sour mix here are the mixing directions:
Mix ingredients together over ice in a glass. Pour into shaker and give ONE brisk shake. Pour back into glass and make sure there is a touch of fizz at the top. Garnish with lemon.


IMGONNABE40! I cant wait to get back to Tchoup Chop for another!
Ahhh another LI'er! I take the kids to the Old Bethpage Village Restoration often. I'm east...out near Smithtown.

 

[Selina]

Phew..I thought it was a bit strong!!! I've tipped it into a pint glass and added lots of coke - and some apples and grapes, and green pepper......it's an amazing flavour now!!

 

[IMGONNABE40!]

GREEN PEPPER?!

 

[Selina]

Hiya IMGONNABE40....... I was just trying to make the "sour bit".....couldn't drink the whole pint though!! Phew.......I would have been then ....

 

[TigerLilly's Mom]

Selina - shouldn't you be in bed?!!!! I think maybe you might have a headache tomorrow

 

[Kerlynne]

My favorite is Kailua & Cream. Pretty sure it has some type of Rum as well. Although I had a White Russian, and the taste was similar, but stronger. Not sure, since I'm not really a drinker, but occasionally will get a glass. Or if hubby and I are out together I'll get my White Zinfandel. Problem is I never know what to order, when I do want something. So I feel like a child because I'm clueless, that I feel foolish. LOL So I usually order the same thing over and over. Don't like anything with coconut flavor(Pina Colada) in my drinks, nor anything too dry.

Some of my friends like this shot called "Chocolate Cake" I have no idea what's in it, but you have to suck on a lemon before you take the shot, I believe. After you get the lemon juice, you take the shot, and then it tastes lick chocolate cake. Or is it shot first, then lemon?

 

[JessicaR]

Never heard of that DM, but it sounded interesting so I looked it up!

Chocolate Cake Shot

1 ounce Frangelico
1 splash Vanilla Vodka
Pour an ounce of Frangelico into a shot glass and top with a splash of vanilla vodka. Smother a lemon wedge with sugar. When drinking, first bite the lemon wedge and then shoot the drink.


Will have to try that, thanks!

 

[Selina]

JessicaR......Looking forward to trying out that one!!

Never heard of Vanilla vodka....sounds really nice.
and what's Frangelico?

 

[IMGONNABE40!]

Frangelico is a hazelnut flavored liquer from Italy.

I enjoy making a drink called the Nutty Irishman. Its made with Frangelico, Bailey's Irish Cream and some whipped cream or half and half. Sometimes I put vodka in it as well. I think I put equal parts of each item in, but usually put in "a little bit of this and a little bit of that" until it tastes just right. Once I made it in the blender with vanilla ice cream instead of the whipped cream and that was good too.

Hey--maybe we should have a virtual happy hour one of these weekends!

(By the way, I don't notice any chocolate in that chocolate cake shot! That reminds me of a chocolate martini that my sister in law makes. She uses a top shelf vodka and a chocolate liquer like Godiva or something. Pretty tasty.)

A virtual happy hour sounds fun - count me in!!!

 

[Selina]

IMGONNABE40..... ...Hiya......I do like the sound of your "Nutty Irishman"....and yes I think a virtual happy hour would be great fun........!!!!

Hi.Tigerlilly's Mom.....did you notice I went straight to bed after you told me to last night!!!

Hey.......I was on a bit of a solo virtual happy hour last night!! What with all JessicaR's cocktails. Ohhh the one I made with the apples and grapes and peppers was soooo strong!! I slept solid!

 

[TigerLilly's Mom]

Selina - the green pepper thing really grossed me out!! I'm glad you went to bed - are you feeling ok today?

Soooo, are you in for the virtual happy hour?

 

[Selina]

Tigerlilly's Mom... :yes: count me in!

So when do you think is a good night?

 

[TigerLilly's Mom]

Sundays are good - DH is watching Sunday night football - yuck - so I am always bored

 

[Selina]

Sunday night is good for me too!! Slight problem with the 5 hour time delay- so I guess 6.30pm-7.30pm your time would be 11.30pm-12.30pm my time....how does that sound?

 

[TigerLilly's Mom]

Well, yes I forgot about the time difference - the kids will be running around here getting ready for bed - but I'll try

 

[JessicaR]

Thats the best vanilla vodka...Stolichnaya, Vanilla, Vodka

We need to get you a proper bar going Selina! Also look for some
DeKuyper Sour Apple Pucker Schnapps so you can make a sour apple martini! Is just top shelf vodka and the schnapps....so delicious! Add a cherry...
