cocktails
ok so i need to make some cocktails tomorrow evening. i have:

12 bottles of pink champagne, sparkling vodka, lemon/mango/blackcurrant absolut, grey goose, jack daniels, bombay sapphire, limencello, baileys, blue bols and x-rated (pink vodka-based liqueur). any ideas?

alt q: my last flatmate borrowed my flat for new years eve and smashed all 12 crystal champagne flutes. said nothing. replaced them with cheap thick tat. have you ever broken anything/had anything broken at a houseparty?

alt alt q: do you have a middle name? is it desirable or gay to give your child more than one name?
( rachelswipe with a fork, Fri 19 Nov 2010, 15:16, 194 replies, latest was 15 years ago)

You leant someone your flat for a party?
Are you mental?

Was the last housemate the one who abused your spare-room carpet? If so, then the crystal flutes is the least of your worries.

I have two middle names.
As does my brother and sister, and does my mother and her two brothers. In my father's side of the family there are a couple of names that must be passed on by the eldest son, which my brother has. One is 'Maxwell' and this stems from an alliance between our clan and the Maxwells several hundred years ago.

Mixe the champaign with lychee juice (rubicon), that you can get at most supermarkets and forign corner shops these days. It's seriously nice.
I guess it would work with other flavours of rubicon, such as Watermeloon, Passion Fruit and Mango. I'm not talking about the fizzy rubicon. Trust me on this, well nice.

Watermelon Rubicon and vodka is excellent.

For years and years I've wondered why you can't buy Watermellon Juice... that it would be perfect for juicing, and taste so nice.
And then last week TGB googled it and found that Rubicon does it, and then I went across the road and they seem to sale it everywhere !

why the fruit with the highest juice content imaginable was not widely available in cartons.

1. Take one bottle of Blue WKD, and empty into a pint glass. Top up with port.
2. Drink.
3. Go directly to bed. You won't be capable of speech or co-ordination within 10 minutes so it'll be the safest place for you.

Sorry Swipe, 2 things I can never remember, how to mix cocktails and how to play card games.

If you got me drunk and played me at poker, you'd probably walk away with the deeds to my house.

Middle names have always seemed a bit pointless to me, probably because I dislike my own.

At the moment I have about a litre of Gordon's.
I only rarely get to taste Hendricks :( And it's the only gin I will actually take with tonic.

I've never drunk it. £30 for a bottle seems a bit steep
But then I rarely keep alcohol in the house as I reckon I could easily become a functioning alcoholic.
( Colonel Dracula Two manky hookers and a racist dwarf, Fri 19 Nov 2010, 15:58, Reply)

Same, never bought a bottle.
I had a beautiful night where I'd been flirting with this boy for about 2 months. He bought over a bottle of Hendricks to the party we were at, and I gave him a head massage (no, really, as in top head) because he'd told me it aroused him. We then spent a beautiful night together on the floor of my friend's living room.

I didn't take his virginity as I had principles and think you should lose it to someone special. But I think that's where my love of gin comes from.
