Drambuie..............Christmas has arrived!

Happy Xmas friends

 

[Worcs]

Was making Long Island Ice Tea's last night and feeling a bit rough today. I've always liked LIIT's but never realised what goes in to them; Rum, Vodka, Gin, Tequila, Triple Sec, Lime, Lemon and coke. 5 different spirits! Might stick to the Speckled Hen tonight.

Thought you would have had some sloe gin in there Ips  :thumbsup:

 

[ips]

haven't got any in fact I have never tried it. I see the guns enjoying a snifter but it doesn't get passed to lowly beaters in fact it didn't get passed when I have been loading ?

 

[Lord v]

Sloe gin is great. Lidl was doing a bottle for 6.99 that was perfectly drinkable. 

Foxdenton stuff is good if you fancy splashing out. 

 

[CharlesP]

ips you must try harder with the sloe gin, beg if you have to.

It is very much the snifter of choice for the outdoor person. I shall raise a small glass of the stuff on your behalf tomorrow. 

 

[Brand New]

Today had Jim Beam in the hip flask for us hardy beaters,also had Sloe Gin and Port at lunch. Home to a bottle of real Ale and red wine with the evening meal.

ips you cant possibly have been anywhere near a shoot and not tried Sloe Gin! Without Sloe Gin there would be no game shooting. 

 

[donna]

Will be having a small glass of my home brewed sloe gin and/or damson vodka at some stage over the festive period.  Yummy

port seems to be the drink of choice for beaters at both my shoots, maybe its a northern thing ?

 

[shortlegs]

Ips are there any blackthorn hedges on the shoots you go to ?  If there are you could pick your own sloes and make your own sloe gin or sloe vodka   :drinks:  quite easy to make if you can resist sampling the batch before it's quite ready  :laugh:

 

[ips]

um, not even sure I know what a blackthorn hedge looks like, apart from the obvious ?

we will have a butchers enroute on Monday you can point one out. ?

You may struggle with that one, we have very few as we have a shortage of cattle (you do not need them to contain spuds and veg !). I used to get mine from the Wirral when I went picking up. We have loads of Hawthorne, although I have never made gin with it !
