The Official OT cocktail thread
Thanks Rick! I will write that down. Sounds tasty.
I just hate the liquid rules on the flights, as they makes it really hard to bring bottles home. Unless you send it in the checked luggage. So far, I haven't dared to take the risk to get it destroyed.
When we went back from the islands in May, I asked in New York, if it was OK to bring duty free bottles through Heathrow if we shouldn't change terminal, and that was fine they said. Sceptical, we didn't buy any, and in Heathrow they took all the liquid from the passengers Then I was glad we didn't buy any.

Just tried a great version of rum punch from "At Blanchard's Table" cookbook. slightly different, less sweet, but really good.
Equal parts:
guava juice
pineapple juice
orange juice
dark rum -recipe called for Mt Gay rum but I used Cruzan dark and added a bit more then called for-
splash of lime juice
some grenadine for color
Easy to make a few glasses or a pitcher. Excellent taste.

I made a cocktail for John last night. He had a stressful day at work and was in a crabby mood so I put it in my special St. John crab glass that I bought from Ruth.
4 ounces lillet blanc
juice of 1/2 lime
handful of raspberries
soda water and ice to the top of the glass
kind of like a raspberry lime rickey, but with lillet instead of gin.

It's like looking in your soup and finding a whole different alphabet.
