When I EVENTUALLY make it back...

Selina--It doesn't sound like there was anything VIRTUAL about your solo happy hour! I think it was the real deal! I'm glad the green pepper didn't make you sick!

Sorry, I will be on a road trip to New York City to visit family on Sunday. Although I am sure I will need a happy hour on Sunday evening (10/12) after spending the day with my mother in law, I will not be able to get my hands on a computer to join you all. Hopefully I will be able to get my hands on some alcohol. My father in law is usually pretty good about pouring me a pretty healthy tumbler of vodka. I guess its all those years of experience with DMIL!

If the virtual happy hour goes off for 10/12, I will look forward to reading all about it upon my return--especially the later postings!

Oh, and lets try not to corrupt anyone into becoming a barFLyFly if you know what I mean! Afterall, she is not yet Sweet 16.
 
Have your ID ready...21 and over please.

Sorry FlyFLy. Just could not resist the play on words of barfly and barFlyFly. Please forgive me. Go back to your good CLEAN fun on the other threads. ;)

(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.)
There isn't supposed to be any. It's the way the shot mixes with the lemon juice that is supposed to do the trick.
 
How about because of the time difference..........we start our "Happy Hour" after Sunday lunch....your time 4pm and continue till 11pm your time........and everyone can drop in?

Perhaps JessicaR can draw up a simple "menu" for the "happy hour".......e.g. starters, main course, dessert.....I think I'd like to try the Nutty Irishman for that!! JessicaR??? :listen: :D
 
Sounds great!!! We can all tell what we are drinking and hang out!!!
 
I'll do a shot at 1pm EST on Sun. at the Alchemy Bar, in all DIS'ers honor. Kick-off time for Dolphins-Jaguars game! (And ride a Dragon after every score for ya'll)
Maybe MIB9's & MsDis could make a guest appearance?
Jim
 
Hi Tonia, I'm only on for a second...in between cooking a chicken pasta for the kids.......looking forward to this.....great idea!! :p

JessicaR: Could you do a "special" non-alcoholic menu for fly fly and the DM?;)

Sorry Jim...somehow missed your post.....we'll be thinking of you too!:D
 
Sounds like fun! :p

JessicaR: Could you do a "special" non-alcoholic menu for fly fly and the DM?

Absolutely! I will write up something to start us all off...include some basic libations as well as some tasty virgin cocktails!

Jim, since we cant be there thanks for toasting us!:tongue:
 
Hi JessicaR.....:wave2:

That's really nice of you....wouldn't want fly fly or the seagull to miss out.

Maybe we could all give points out of 10 for each drink....and see which drink at the end of the night comes out on top :p

Also thanks for info on the apple vodkas and vanilla vodkas.....I'm going to "drink" store "Oddbins" at the weekend to see if they stock it! If not I'll just have to put plain vodka with an apple juice.....Mmmmmmmm looking forward to the menu now. :tongue:
 
Bumping this up for others who would like to join us!!

Selina,
I am almost done with the list and will post it for you this evening! :)
 
Thanks Jessica........that's really nice of you. Looking forward to it.

enough (depends on the banana), add another shot of pineapple juice. Decorate

Chill pineapple juice and soda. Blend first four ingredients in a blender until

creamy. (I've found a hand blender works very well since my blender won't hold all

of this liquid or you could split it into two batches.) This can be done ahead of time

and put back into the fridge until serving time. When your ready to serve, place

coconut mixture in punch bowl, add ice-cream and allow it to dissolve somewhat.

When ice-cream has dissolved almost completely, add pineapple soda. Add ice

ring and decorate the frothy top of the punch with thin orange slices.

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.

1 1/2 oz. Gin or Vodka
Splash of Olive juice
Dry Vermouth (if desired)

Directions:

Lemon Drop
_____________________________________
Citron Vodka
Sometimes this drink has a dribble of Triple Sec in it to get the citrus flavor

cranked up a bit.

Directions:
Stir over ice.
Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
Some will put a sugared piece of lemon on the side, some will sugar rim your

chilled glass and put the lemon as a garnish, and I have even seen this drink with

a lemon slice sugared and flamed on top of the glass. I prefer mine with a

sugared lemon wedge on the side. The idea is to shoot the drink and then suck

on the lemon.

1 oz Kahlua Coffee Liqueur
1/2 oz Vodka
5 oz Chocolate Ice Cream

Directions

length of time. Pour into a chilled champagne flute and serve

Sangria - The World's Best
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ingredients:
1.5 L Red wine (Cabernet Sauvignon)
1 cup Sugar
3-4 oz plain Brandy
1 large Lemon, sliced
1 large Orange, sliced
1 large Apple, cut into thin sections.
Mixing instructions:
Mix these altogether in a large container, stir, and let sit for 18-24 hours. Yes, I

know that's a LONG time, but it's well worth the wait. A much more delightful

sangria is produced when the fruit juice blends with the wine by osmmosis than by

stirring. (By the way, you should let it sit in the refridgerator during this long

interim). When you are ready to drink it 18-24 hours later, stir it up again, and add

sugar or brandy to taste, it should be fairly strong and fairly sweet, almost syrupy.

Then, cut the mixture with some sort of bubbly water, orange or lemon flavored if

possibly, but plain bubbly water is fine, until it seems to have a thinner, more wine

like consistency. Drink and enjoy.
 
Wow!!!! Thanks for going to so much trouble. I've printed all these and the previous ones off for Christmas. They are super!
Spoilt for choice.....what do you recommend for the aperitif?:D
 
::yes:: Very good post. I'm willing to partake in some of the drinks listed in the first half. They sound good!
 
Wow Jessica!!! That is a great list. I will join in too - got to get to the liquor store. What time are we starting? I'll be on between 1 -4 because DH will be watching the Patriots with his brother - so I will be BORED!

By the way - does anyone know what is in a Mai Tai? I had one last night at our local Hawiian restuarant and just about passed out!! Can't say that I loved it, but it was STRONG!!!

I think I'll do a baybreeze and copy one of the non alcoholic drinks for the kids and we can all have happy hour!!
 
Hi everyone.....that's a nice idea....join the kids in....I've already been this afternoon (to the drink store! :p)...do you know it's quite a while since I bought any drink apart from wine or sherry....I'm really amazed at all the choice! It cost me an "arm and a leg"!!! But I'm stocked for Christmas and New Year too - my sister is having a party this year - so I can take along what's left and be in charge of "cocktails"!!! :D :
 
Glad you all liked!

TigerL's Mom, If a Mai Tai is made right it doesnt taste strong, thats the scary part...they sneak up on ya! :) Here is a recipe.
The idea of having the kids join is great! My kids are all for it and want Creamsicles!

Mai Tai
1 oz. light rum
½ oz. triple sec
2 oz. pineapple juice
1 oz. dark rum
1 tsp. grenadine
Pour the first four ingredients into a glass with ice, stir. Add grenadine, a cherry, and one of those goofy paper umbrellas!

Selina,
:eek: We are all heading by you for the holidays! If you are gonna be in charge of making drinks it should be a short evening....LOL!!!

DM, let me know about your drink...is it equal parts? The kids wanna make that too!
