Mango Cocktail
Take 2 ripe mangos, and put the flesh
 in a blender. Add a generous shot
of Grand Marnier or Cointreau. Give it
a spin, and pour an inch of the resultant
mango slush into champagne glasses.
Top up with your fave Australian or
Californian champagne. You now have
a gorgeous golden drink which tastes
wonderful and packs a
punch.
Spiked Coffee
OK, alcoholic coffee is not a particularly
original idea, but I'd just like to express
my preference here. The best spiked
coffee of all is made with Bailey's and
Kahlua. A shot of each. Wow. Whipped
cream on top if you're into it. Of course
the best thing about spiked coffee is that
it gets you into such an interesting state
of mind: pissed as a parrot, and very wide
awake. Ideal for rambling conversations
that go on all night, or
long sessions
on the
net.
Mulled Wine
A great gift to mulled wine
makers is this top product called
Norfolk Punch.
This is a non-alcoholic herbal tonic
made in England, supposedly from a
recipe used by mediaeval monks; it
looks like red wine and has about 20
different herbs in it, making it
wonderfully spicy. (Investigate its
availability in your area, or check
for any similar
products.)
So rather than hunt up 20 herbs
yourself, you just pour a bottle of
Norfolk Punch into a large pot, add
about 3 times as much cheap red
wine (I like cask claret for this),
and apply a low flame till it's hot
but not boiling. Keep it to a very
gentle simmer. You also add the
juice of one orange, some chopped-up
orange peel, a few cinnamon sticks
and cloves, and a couple of generous
shots of Grand Marnier. Keep tasting
it and adding honey or sugar according
to your preferences.
Share and enjoy.
