What's your poison?

The other night, a friend introduced me to the delights of birthday cake vodka. Mmmmm mmmm!!!! Sweet and delicious, it slipped down all too easily...

Oddly enough I couldn't find much about it on the net, although I did find this recipe. I sampled it in Revolution bar btw...

My other favourite tipples are:

- Caipirinha - my hubbie's influence, it's cool, refreshing and delicious, a perfect Summer drink. The more crushed the ice, the better.

- Pina Colada - creamy and lush, I consumed many on these on the beach in Brazil last December. The kind I had there was made with condensed milk, which might sound disgusting but in fact made it taste even more heavenly. And Rupert Holmes got it right. So much so that I insist you give this a listen/view now!! (Slightly odd video, it has to be said...)



What else? There's...

- Amaretto - totally gorge, j'adore most almond-tasting things and this little liqueur tastes good on a lot of other things like ice cream (I also love Amaretti biscuits and gateau!! Anyone want to send me some??)

Mmm, are any of you detecting a slightly kitsch-camp drinks theme here? Look, you trying to suggest I may not be into real men's drink?!?! Wanna make something of it?? Shocking as it might seem, I'm also quite partial to...

- good old-fashioned Beer. I was a relatively late convert. In my student days I starting drinking it for the street cred, but now I'm partial to a nice chilled lager...Grolsch be one of my favourites. Stella is good for getting hammered but kind of gives you a headache the next day...

So then. Slightly obvious topic but after my vodka experience I wanted to share the boozy lurve. What are your favourite tipples, ladies and gents? This Cheeser wants to hear about it, including all those guilty drinking pleasures of yours....*

Now, I do happen to know that the lovely Amanda has a tipple every Tuesday so she's probably got too many to choose from...

* And you know what? I LOVE my kitsch/camp drinks...and anyone who's got a problem with that, well...I'll strap you to a chair, blindfold you, force open your gob and then subject you to 37 screaming orgasms...**

** No, you idiots!! I'm talking about the cocktail (another one to add to my list then...)
