oh yes.. i absolutely love a good mojito - i had possibly the worst of my life at 93 feet east, he used bacardi, white sugar and lime cordial - why i actually paid for it and drank it is still a confusion to me...
have you ever tried a pint of guiness with a shot of port in it? absolutely lush, lush, lush - tastes quite chocolately and gets you hammered :)

Oh that does sound like a criminal Mojito! If you like port and you like a Mojito then you must try a port mojito. I know it sounds odd but it is actually a fantastic combination. You simply replace the rum for port and whehey presto. Best to be careful with this one though, as too much port can make you feel like you called Mike Tyson a pussy the next day!

you ever been to portugal? all the port you could wish for in oporto - loads of tavernas where you can sample all the varieties - didn't realise before i went there that you get white port too, that should be tippled chilled as an aperitif - very nice.

Another of my favourites is a good tequila recipe. You muddle black grapes with elderflower cordial, 25ml of lime juice & a double of tequila, shake hard. Nice & simple with a sweeter and slightly more European taste than a Margarita. Even if you not a big tequila fan this will knock your socks off!

Muddle is like to squash it all up with a rolling pin style thing, and get all the juiciness out.

Indeed but you know when you gotta drive......
No not really, but it means you can hang with the big boys, go hard and whilst everyone else is a dribbling wreck dropping kebab down their Pierre Cardin shirt, one is still able to hold elegant conversation and top the evening with a healthy salad nicoise before bed ; )

That was actually Landi who told me the olive oil trick. Problem is drinking a shot of olive oil is not a good idea if you have any gag reflex whatsoever, as Eric my flatmate can attest to after i spluttered olive oil all over him and his dressing gown. I did however feel that it worked in keeping you sober even after a few drinks though.
