  1. Hi Cocktail Lady,

    Good luck with your 365 days of cocktails! I am a reader of Stephanie's Year of Slow Cooking and followed her link to your site. My husband and I don't drink much but some of your cocktails look gorgeous and remind me a lot of those we had at university!

    I was just wondering if perhaps you would consider adding a rating for each cocktail giving the alcoholic units in each?

    Thanks and keep up the hard (!) work.

  2. Hello Carrie!

    Thank You for your message! Are you referring to what the alcoholic content by volume is for each cocktail?

    Thank You for your comment on my photos, some on them look so good when I make them that I almost don't want to drink them! I'm excited that you found me through Stephanie, she's a wonderful lady and great at what she does!

    I appreciate all comments and suggestions to help me improve my blog.

    Cheers!!

  3. Hello!

    Great blog! I was going to put a word in for the classic Champagne Cocktail.
    My recipe is something along these lines, but you may find a better recipe:

    Ingredients

    1 sugar cube

    2-3 drops Angostura bitters

    20ml/¾fl oz cognac/brandy

    enough champagne to fill the glass

    Preparation method

    Place the sugar cube onto a spoon and add the bitters.

    Drop the soaked sugar cube into a champagne flute and add the cognac.

    Top up the glass with champagne and serve.


    It's a fun one to sip while watching black and white films, or if you want to feel decadent while swanning round the house in your pyjamas!

    Cheers!

  4. Hi again!

    I was thinking of your comment about how hot it was/is where you are. One of the best cocktails for drinking in the heat is a Dawa (it's the Swahili word for medicine!). I passed my misspent youth drinking these on the beach in Kenya!

    INGREDIENTS

    1 part Vodka
    Ice
    1/2 a Lime
    1 tablespoon Honey

    INSTRUCTIONS
    Slice lime into wedges and place in strong tumbler. Apply pressure to the wedges with a stick (we used to get sticks of sugar cane. You need something about the thickness of a wooden spoon handle) to release the lime juice without pulping.
    Add the honey and then cover with ice. Pour vodka over the ice and muddle to mix the lime juice, honey and vodka.

    Lovely in the heat! Let me know what you think.

    Cheers!

    Ginny

    1. I appologize! I thought I had replied to you post. This cocktail sounds interesting! I have seen a couple other cocktails that have honey as one of the ingredients in them and thought it would be fun to try one. I put this one on my list and can't wait to try it! Thank You!!

  5. I see you keep midori around, you might like a midori sour. I've not had a chance to try it myself but it is my best friend's favorite cocktail.

    1oz Midori
    2oz sour mix
    Shake with ice and serve.
    Some recipes call for Sprite as well.

  6. Hi! I was wondering where you get all the different fruit purees you use? I can't seem to find them anywhere!

    1. Hi Tammy! I get all of my fruit purees at BevMo (Beverages and More). I'm not sure if you have a BevMo where you live or not. You can also order them on their website which is www.bevmo.com . I have a reader who lives on the East Coast and they do not have a BevMo, but her local big liquor store sold a couple of them. You could also check out the Finest Call website (that's the brand name of my purees) at http://www.finestcall.com/ maybe you could find out if there is a distributor in your area. I hope you are able to find them close to you!! =)

  8. Hello Sherell! Welcome! I enjoyed your other comment posts on my blog! I have not yet tried cinnamon vodka........believe it or not. I will see if I can find it in one of those little mini bottles and give it a try. I'm sure there are some good recipes out there (fingers crossed). Stay tuned! Cheers!!
