Delicious drinks

[JustDave]

A delicious drink I made up at new year's (didn't bother to make a name -- though it's very likely that someone's already thought it up...there are only so many combinations!)

1/2 oz melon liqueur
1/2 oz banana liqueur
1/2 oz blue curacao
0-1 oz vodka, as desired
fill with lemonade

It is pretty sweet though. But delicious, and has an awesome neon green colour.

Another one I like is

1 oz irish cream
1 oz creme de cacao
1/2 oz butterscotch schnapps
0-1 oz vodka/rum, as desired
fill with milk

Both in tall glass-sized objects. Quantities estimated as I prefer the eyeballing method.

Ahh yes, the eyeballing method. When I cook I often eyeball many measurements. Naturally, this make my family very nervous.

I know of a very tasty and potent drink that is made with peach schnapps. Unfortunately the name of the drink is escaping me at the moment.

peach schnapps gives you the WORST hangover! (and I hate peach flavored things that aren't actual peaches! )

added to my list: Licor 43

Well I guess I know who I won't be sharing the recipe with if I remeber it? And, no I didn't forget about the limoncello recipe. It has been a busy week ...

Just discovered by accident tonight: peach schnapps and lychee juice. Yummy!!!

I just made chocolate-banana smoothies for me and my son with bananas, almond milk, a Fudgesicle, and Ovaltine. I couldn't help but think how much better it would be with some hooch in it. I'm thinking Baileys or Kahlua or both.

Ovaltine > Quik

I've heard many a person say "yuck" when Ovaltine is mentioned. I don't understand it. The stuff is delish.

 

[Ivy]

ovaltine is the shiz. chocolate malt ftw!

They're all good but I like the classic blue can one.

Synergy Organic & Raw Kombucha Tea

Synergy Organic & Raw Kombucha Tea

I just had this the other day for the first time. I don't know what to say really other than it was one of the best-tasting things I have ever had.

The heat-tickle of ginger, the fermentation bubble-texture of Champagne, the astringency of tea, the gentle bite of a dark berry skin, sweet yet with very little sugar, a scent to make my mouth water - it was as engaging to my senses as the best Trappist ales, Champagnes, and single-malt scotch whiskys.




wanting it now,
Ian

- Lime juice.
- Amaretto coffee sweetener.
- Vanilla coffee sweetener.
- Water.

You can substitute lemon for lime juice.


I like to mess with Starbucks baristas with this one...

Here are two great raspberry-flavored drinks.

Not the most representative lambic in the world, but so damn tasty:

Lindemans - Framboise

A little-known (at least in this day and age) but very delicious cocktail, the blinker:

2 ounces rye whiskey (Crown Royal works, but try to find a real majority rye Canadian)
1 ounce fresh grapefruit juice
1 teaspoon raspberry syrup (I prefer the Smucker's stuff you'd put on ice cream)

Shake well with ice in a shaker, strain, and serve cold. Add a garnish if you so desire. The sweet-and-tart flavors mix so well, and the rye gives it a slight peppery, woody bite. A great twist on the tired old whiskey sour (which I think is a fine drink, but sour mix is usually junk, and well whiskey doesn't help).

Yep, love it. I have a bottle ready to go for a birthday in a couple days. Hmm, maybe it was the Kriek.

I think the Pomme is lovely too.


cheers,
Ian

I had kombucha for the first time a few months ago. I picked it up from the local health/organic/raw foods store here, and it really was like nothing I have drunk before.

Found a drink at a coffee house up in Gettysburg PA- The Nutty Jasper

~1.5 cups coffee, ~1.5 cups chocolate milk
Four tablespoons peanut butter
About 2 cups ice

Blend until smooth

Optional: 1/2 cup peanuts, chocolate chips or peanut butter chips.
A friend made this for us last night and she put nutmeg on top; it was good.

Just made 2 batches of these this morning, had 2 cups of it... it filled me up. I recommend brewing the coffee very strong since it's diluted by the other stuff; wonder how it would do with shots of espresso instead...

That's a meal replacement right there. Sounds tasty though.

Try my strawberry-limonade. It's soo DELICIOUS!

Ingredients:
-1 small lime
-1 8 oz. glass
-Sugar
-3 rinsed strawberries..
-1 spoon
-H20
-Ice

1.) Roll lime to release juices. Cut/squeeze into glass. Set the squeezed lime aside. Add sugar about 2/3s of the amount of lime juice in glass, eyeball it. Place squeezed lime back into glass again, using the spoon, mush the lime with its flesh faced downwards into the sugar, mush 5 times to release the oils from the skin (this gives it a flagrant smell!).

2.) Add strawberries/mush with spoon into the sugar/lime mix. Add water about 3 times the height of the sugar/lime in the glass. Stir until sugar dissolves. Add ice. Enjoy..
