What is your favourite alcoholic mixed drink, and how do you make it ?

drinking three of these a day, perfect quick summer drink.

devon lemonade

one part good gin

2-3 parts sparklingwater

dash of elderflower cordial

the earthiness of the elderflower works with the botanicals of the gin much better than tonic, which can swap delicate gin flavours.

I used to drink a thing I refered to as "Sett's Bite" which was basically a 3 litre bottle of white lightening cider mixed with 4 cans of tennants super strength larger and a can of gold label barley wine. This would be around 5 litres of 9% snake bite... horrible taste but gets you oh sooo drunk.

I also liked "Summer Wines" which was vodka,port, sherry and pineapple juice 1:1:1:2 which could be used for a fruity punch if diluted with lemonade.

I don't drink anymore nowerdays...

FBI... AKA Frozen Black Irish...

And to make it... well it all depends who makes it... the best i ever had though was made by a dude called Jan Oxley who used to work for Via Vita's in Chester, Harrogate and Leeds...

Basic ingredients.. Bailey's Vodka Crushed Ice Ice Cream Half and Half of and the piste of resistance chocolate sauce in the glass (not just decoration i can assure you)

In the summer it has to be Pimms and Lemonade (1 to 3 ratio) plus lots of sliced oranges and less lemon slices. I go against the grain and opt out of cucumber slices (just not my bag at all) All mixed with lots of ice. Ummm lovely

Second choice for other times of year: heavy duty strawberry cocktail - ice, vodka, strawberry liqueur, tonic water, crushed strawberries - vary the proportions to taste!

Black Russian - 2 or 3 parts Kahlua (depending on my mood).

to 1 part vodka. I like Gray Goose, Absolute or Stolies vodka.

Pour over rocks in old fashioned glass.

Pump up the volume!

I like a Long Beach-- like a Long Island Iced Tea but you use cranberry juice instead of cola.

1 part clear vodka

1 part clear rum

1 part clear tequila

1 part clear gin

sweet and sour mix

part cranberry juice

yum!

A Green Fairy.

1 shot Absinthe

1 shot water

Juice from 1 lemon

Dash of Angostura bitters

(2tsp egg white, but I don't add this)

Shake it with ice ;)

Caramel Apple As a shot: equivalent factors of butterschotch schnapps and apple pucker As a drink, upload 7up to the shot. that is extremely sweet and good in the different case, i like captain and coke.

Cuba Libre, rum and coke and lime juice

margarita (daisy ),rum, lemon. ice, mint. The ice with the rum is mixed the juice of the lemon, adds the mint
