I have a cocktail book, silver shaker and stuff. I love making and trying new cocktails... soooo cool. At the weekend like to make a few Martini's with stuffed olive and cocktail stick and watch movies on DVD format or MP3,AVI.... sweet.

I enjoy making cocktails. Been doing it for about 15 years now and got a lot of pleasure from it. My friends enjoy them too. I use the recipes Simon Difford publishes in his annual cocktail book. I wouldn't say I'm a pro though. I can't chuck the bottles around à la Tom Cruise and Bryan Brown.

Cool I looked that dudes name up and got this site http://www.diffordsguide.com/index.html

Yeah if you buy a cocktail book each year that is like a pro for sure. I watched a TV show which was like a pro compitition in Brazil and they were making some cool cocktails. I would not say I was a pro but I know more then the people i know for sure.

Yup that's the fella. His guide is on its 10th edition now and has over 3000 recipes. I'm going to make a Jasmine Lassi at the weekend. 1 cardamom pod, 1.5 shots vodka, 1.5 shots Bols yoghurt liqueur, 0.75 shots cold jasmine tea. Just need the pod and the tea! The guide says "best consumed with a madras". That is something I need to be involved in!

That sounds like an exotic cocktail for sure! I want to buy some Blue Curaçao but I don't know what the person who takes the secuity tab off will think.
