    Can't go wrong with the Vesper d000hg, it's divine!

    Many moons ago, I had an evening of Zombie cocktails in KL once. I left the bar, completely forgetting the evening meal I was supposed to meetup with friends, ignoring the 100 "where the f*** are you" texts and thought I was in some pinball machine - staggering around, bouncing off people and walls and eventually got to my friend's flat and collapsed unconscious in the lobby.

    Not at all embarrassing. Oh no, not at all...

    Speaking of which, another empty glass needs refilling!

    I'm a big fan of the White Russian, especially at the end of an evening. Also enjoy Long Island Ice Tea which I was introduced to many years ago at Rammstein Airbase. Frau D. had an Erdbeerinha (Strawberry Caiparinha, sp?) last night which was quite pleasant in the sun. I'm not allowed to have Zombies anymore

    Also sound interesting: MUSTARD COCKTAILS – drink dogma

    Feeling like a mangy dog is a perfect excuse for a morning cocktail as a sharpener.

    yep, duly corrected, not a good idea typing recipes whilst imbibing said cocktails.
