Damson gin (made by Biddlybee) and ginger beer with angostura bitters. Pink and delicious

Thanks to this post I'm drinking sloe gin, ginger beer & angostura bitters.
It is indeed pink and delicious.

Tempranillo, fruity. On offer at Laithwaites. I think it was part of a deal where it was down to about £6.50-ish a bottle if you bought a few. Tastes pricier than that. Not a bad drop at all.

Pinot Grigio from the Co op. Surprisingly delicious

 

[BoatieBird]

I have a bottle of my favourite Nero D'Avola for later

Happy weekend

Shortly, a nicely chilled Thatchers Rose then a Thatchers Katy - Mrs Voltz was asked to refrain from getting the usual bottle of "Any old port in a storm" for the weekend so I'm strictly on cider and maybe, some wine and possibly a splash or two of Makers Mark - but apart from that, ne'er a drop shall pass my lips

I think I prefer it to tonic. Lidl Normandy cider here, cheers all.

I might do old bean but the Rub-a-dub-dub that the trouble and strife is hankering for is more of a Vera Lynne establishment. I may have a Tin Tin and vomit

Rum.

A cheeky Prosecco..

A lovely little fair trade sauvignon blanc from Aldi but I can't be bothered to get up to look at the label

Plenty nice drinks in Moro last night. Never had orange wine before, lovely stuff. New to me and now going to be a favourite come the summer months was a negronie. Never really a gin drinker before but these are lovely. Very refreshing and very strong

Negronie: one part gin, one part vermouth rosso (red, semi-sweet), and one part Campari, garnished with orange peel.

Morgan's Spiced, honey, cinnamon, lemon, ginger and hot water. A cold isn't such a bad thing when it's an excuse for a few of these.

 

[friedaweed]

Hardys Crest two for a tenner from local con-veeniance store. They wanted 9.99 for a bog standard rioja Anyway this one's Cab, sav, shiraz, merlot. It seems they just chuck the lot in until it tastes ok

Just noticed the glass is dirteh too. Ahh well it's a jolly fine blend to be doing your hoovering to

 

[Rebelda]

Feel better Voley.

Just finished one of these:

Damson gin (made by Biddlybee) and ginger beer with angostura bitters. Pink and delicious

Glass of red now (pinotage).

 

[QueenOfGoths]

This, £1.49 at Lidl, dark smokey with a hint of sweetness. I like it!

 

[Rebelda]

Ginger beer, angostura bitters and a wedge of lime.

 

[friedaweed]

It's a nice touch!

Irish Meadow Country Cream.

Having only refound my fondness for Baileys at xmas I now intend working my way through the cheap versions.

What does everyone recommend? I shall be getting 2 bottles of Ballycastle Irish Country Cream (Aldi, £3.75 ) for St. Patricks day on Thursday.

'Pon returning from the pub - my glass shall be charged with a nicely chilled Thatchers Katy

Negronie: one part gin, one part vermouth rosso (red, semi-sweet), and one part Campari, garnished with orange peel.

Just came on here to post my negroni variation and this was the first post I saw

So the variation is to use bourbon instead of gin - it's called a Boulvardier. Except the relevation tonight is to vary the amounts, so 2 parts bourbon (Knob Creek), 1 part Martini Rosso and 1 part Aperol (instead of Campari). Works well.

Fernet Branca with Angostura orange bitters.

Waxed Bat Shiraz Cabernet Malbec. A bloody lovely drop, this. Could've very happily had a lot more than the two glasses I stick to on a week night.
