Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Florida skies

    • debkellie on January 19, 2020

      Substituted coconut rum for white rum. Refreshing, but nothing exciting.

  • White witch

    • debkellie on May 06, 2024

      A refreshing drink on an autumn evening...balance of flavours is good, maybe not my personal balance after a couple !

  • Hawaiian deluxe

    • debkellie on September 30, 2024

      Basically a riff on a pina colada. In the second one (highly quaffable) I omitted the dash of sugar syrup which improved it for my palate.

  • Jolly Roger

    • debkellie on February 18, 2024

      I subbed peach brandy for apricot brandy ... highly quaffable, great following a sunny Sunday afternoon spent bouganvillea pruning! Nice balance in the flavours. Not too sweet - guess that depends on the type of orange juiced.

  • Passion for fashion

    • debkellie on August 02, 2020

      An abundance of passionfruit coming into ripeness: one way to use some up!

  • Lobsters on South Beach

    • debkellie on December 29, 2019

      Sunday afternoon, Christmas holiday drink .. goes with the sunburn ! Very tasty and used up leftover fruits!

  • From the rafters

    • debkellie on February 06, 2022

      Soo yummy! I was a little concerned about the combination, but it really works!

  • Luigi

    • debkellie on November 14, 2021

      Exceeded expectations! Used Noilly Prat dry vermouth... great for a lazy Sunday afternoon poolside!

  • Bijou

    • debkellie on February 20, 2022

      Couldn't pick the Chartreuse.. and a bit like rocket fuel ;-)

  • Poet's dream

    • debkellie on February 16, 2025

      Dangerously more-ish! I used Martini Bianco, not extra dry

  • Mudslide

    • debkellie on March 26, 2023

      Just back from a trip to Antarctica: the glass appears reminiscent of some of the pancake ice floes we saw!! Always a good standby!

  • Fragrance

    • debkellie on May 15, 2022

      Rather like a pine/lime splice .. float some ice cream in it and it would be complete! Refreshing summer drink..

  • Chocotini

    • debkellie on February 26, 2023

      Dangerously nice !

  • One of those

    • debkellie on April 10, 2022

      Balance is wrong .. cranberry juice dominates.

  • Green Island quiet Sunday

    • debkellie on July 16, 2023

      p.289. Very refreshing .. slightly different take on a screwdriver (aka vodka & orange) ;-)

  • The glamour martini

    • debkellie on May 19, 2024

      The citrus tend to dominate initially, but mellow over a few minutes . Quite acceptable to accompany a Magic Round of football

  • October revolution

    • debkellie on May 14, 2022

      Ok, so its not October.. but it is May in Australia, and just as cold. A nice cocktail for a fireside evening. Might benefit from a chocolate rim on the glass next time

  • Barbera

    • debkellie on May 14, 2023

      A warming cocktail very fitting for a rainy Brisbane Mother's Day evening! Tasty too. Happy Mothers' Day!

  • Man in the moon

    • debkellie on November 19, 2021

      Maybe our lemons were more on the sour side... made specifically in honour of tonight's "blood moon" and partial lunar eclipse here in Southern hemisphere skies!

  • Aria classic

    • debkellie on June 12, 2022

      Subbed orange bitters for Angostura bitters.. an appropriate cocktail for a wintry Sunday afternoon, listening to ABC Classic's top 100 screen sounds..

  • Celebration cocktail

    • debkellie on March 13, 2022

      Ruins a good champagne .... disappointing

  • Pink cadillac convertible

    • debkellie on January 09, 2022

      Not to my palate ... the salt rim may be fine for tequila, but ruins Grand Marnier!

  • Acapulco bliss

    • debkellie on November 21, 2021

      Refreshingly creamy: nice balance.

  • Banshee

    • debkellie on August 15, 2021

      Very sweet (too much so for my taste) .. maybe it was the Vok liqueurs as opposed to a decent brand ....

  • Flaming Lamborghini

    • debkellie on June 04, 2023

      Not as nice as I recall from my youth! Best served in the dark!
