Drinks

There's more to life than alcohol, obviously, but this is a site for people eating. I love Coca Cola, Orange Juice or a cup of tea, but not with food. So much of this section is about alcohol.

I won't discuss wine here - I'm not qualified although I know what I like, so these are mainly going to be classic cocktail recipes

This is why there's Bourbon

OK, so this is simple again - like a Martini: Sweet Vermouth, Bourbon (just my way - Canadian or other whiskies lay as strong a claim and Angostura Bitters

You need this for a lot of cocktails. Or you can apparently make desserts with it.

Why wolud you make dessers when, well, cocktails?

It doesn’t do to be too puritanical,

whether about photography or recipes.

You know how I feel about this. It's not quite a Religion but . . .

OK, so this is simple: Vermouth, Gin and . . . ummm . . . nothing else

A bit different from what we had at school.

Parma violets for grown-ups.

I know a little bit about wine,

but mostly what I’ve learnt is that you don’t need to know much.
