Name These Cocktails!
Right, I've just named one. It's called:
Vodka Fire and Ice. Ingredients: Ginger beer and vodka. That's it; really simple; really delicious if you like ginger beer and want an extra kick in it! I first tried it about 4 years ago and no-one I've spoken to since had ever heard of it apart from the people I'd already told... Not to be confused with the whisky based drink "Fire and Ice" or the brandy based "Fire on Ice" Right, now for the second one. I've just dreampt this one up in Tesco whilst not knowing exactly what I fancied tonight. I love it! 250 ml glass 1 shot vodka 1 shot cherry brandy Fill up with lemonade It would probably be better with ice, but I didn't have any! There are lots of drinks with vodka and cherry brandy around, but I haven't found this recipe yet. It's probably too simply to have a name - but then "Bloody Mary", "Screwdriver"? They are even simpler, so I fancy giving this one a name. I propose to call it "Kickback" If you like, you can have the "Nice Warm Cuddle" which I tried first: 1 measure cherry brandy Fill up with lemonade (not chilled) ![]() If you use ice you have to call it something else of course. It's quite a lot nicer than cherryade, I can tell you! You could call it a "Lemon Lola" (where they drink champagne and it looks just like cherry cola, Lo-lo-lo-lo-Lola..."). Actually, I don't like that name so another name for the iced version would be good. Remember, if you can't Google it, it doesn't exist unless I've got it saved on my hard drive

Stick some lime in with your ginger beer and vodka and you've got a Moscow Mule

A Ukrainian, perhaps?

Water, malted barley, hops and yeast.
I call it beer.

![]() I used to like Pride. I had the obligatory dodgy pint about 5 years ago. I'd love to try again, but I'm just a bit wary.

True enough. I like a nice bloody mary. Lots of spice.

He doesn't drink a lot himself, but I've had the honour a few times ![]() Right, I'm now going to ask the mods to move this thread to the Food and Drink forum which is where it belongs. I didn't realise we had one until just now, so that's where this will probably be soon... |

We make this at home.
Espresso Martini for one cocktail 50ml vodka (stoli, absolut, etc, not smirnoff or cheap brand) 50ml of espresso (made by a proper machine) 50ml Kaluha tons of crushed ice Shake in cocktail shaker, serve in cold martini glass. Simple but bliss. |

I made this once or twice and it was very nice!
Apple sourz (I used Mickey Finn's) Raspberry Absolut vodka Cointreau Top up with lemonade, in quite a large glass or you'll be on the floor in no time. I didn't measure the ingredients properly but I'd guess 50ml Apple Sourz and 25ml or less for the other two. Feel free to experiment ![]() I didn't name it but I guess it should be called something fruity. Actually, I dub this cocktail Something Fruity! |

Two drinks I've been known to make.
Vodka topped up with Stella Artois, which I'm tempted to call the Headbanger (as my head has been banging all day!) Whisky mixed with a Dandelion and Burdock alchopop (which also contains vodka). A good name for the that would be the Stomach Lining Evaporator. |
