Strange Drinks

[Desperate Dan]

Standing at the bar earlier tonight and the fellow next to me orders a Kaliber Shandy!!
Anybody beat a stranger concoction than that?

 

[Triptych]

Whilst on my google hunt for a blackcurrant vodka recipe I came across one for garlic vodka. :blink:

 

[Steve T]

I had to order a "chinese" for someone the other day, half a lager, half a bitter in a pint glass.....

 

[Ardross]

Blossom Hill - now there is a strange concoction.

 

[PDJ]

:lol: :lol:

 

[Gearoid]

A kalibar shandy is for the non-drinker/driver so that he has a pint like everyone else in his company.

 

[an capall]

Whats a 'non drinker'?

Irn-Bru

 

[Euronymous]

My favourite tipple is a White Russian:
2 parts Vodka
1 part Kahlua
3 parts cream
over ice

Variants, which i have yet to try are:
White Trash - substitute JD for vodka
White Cuban - substitute Rum for vodka

Steve T, I have always known that as a pint of "golden". Didn't realise it had other names elsewhere.

 

[Songsheet]

I've just made a batch of blackcurrent brandy, Tryptich and I would imagine that making blackcurrant vodka would be the same method as making damson vodka (my speciality!!!!).

PM me if you want the recipe

Well the recipient was from up near you Dave, in Chester, the confused look on the guy behind the bar suggested it wasn't a regular order in the Goodwood area!

Steve, this is known as Mickey Mouse in Brum

I'm told that that name can have other meanings on certain internet sites...

Go on then Brian, why do you regard this fizzy concoction as being stranger than any other fizzy concoction?

As a sidenote, Irn Bru outsold Coca Cola by a factor of 5:1 in my mothers shop.

 

[BrianH]

It is strange in that it is very rare outside its homeland

 

[Shadow Leader]

Strangely enough, it's widely available in Gib - more so than in the UK I find!

 

[simmo]

Here's a delightful aerated drink rarely found outside it's homeland.

Kinnie.

Maltese ginger(pop).

[krizon]

Brian, you're not confusing it with 'Golden Showers' again, are you?

 

[Shadow Leader]

Oh Aunty, please!!!!! Family forum!!!! :lol:

 

[krizon]

Pray tell, young lady, what DO you mean? :brows:

 

[Shadow Leader]

Erm, the term clearly has different meanings for us then....

 

[krizon]

I've no idea what you mean, dear - why don't you tell us all what you know about it? :brows:
