Fancy a Brandy Sour? I Just need Lemon Squash cordial......
...............that doesnt cost the earth:eek:
I got sick of drinking beer a while back (havent given up totally - just fancy something else) and started (suppose I never stopped) reminiscing about my time in Cyprus (1997-2000) whilst with the RAF.................and the drinks I used to consume on a (very) regular basis. BRANDY SOUR - an absolutely gorgeous refreshing drink. (To be spoken like Gordon Ramsey when he's quoting ingredients) Tall Glass Ice Shot (or 2) of Brandy Shot Lemon squash Fill to top with Soda water Add Angastoura Bittas Stir BRANDY SOUR - DONE !!!:thumbsup: I managed to get a bottle of St Remy Brandy from a workmate via Duty Free on a special at $14.95 (they generally go for $20 + otherwise) Angastoura Bittas is quite expensive- the cheapest I could find was $16.99 Soda water - $0.75 at countdown/foodtown for 1 litre So that just leaves the Lemon Squash. I have used a bottle of Lemon/Barley Cordial - close but not quite the same as what I used to get. Any ideas? Ive looked at the website for the british shop in onehunga - Vimto wouldnt do the job (or Oxo cubes :o) My folks are here in a few weeks so Im getting various ingredients together (plus making sure they bring 3 bottles of whatever spirits each on arrival) One more drink I used to like - SEX ON THE BEACH Tall glass (or a large wine glass but you'll have get an umbrella for that) Ice Shot of Vodka Shot of Peach Schnapps A few drops of Grenadine Top up with Orange Juice DONE !!!!!! Anyone know of Peach Schnapps that costs less than the Archers 1 litre that costs $35 a bottle duty free? And.....Grenadine - where can i get it - I didnt realise its non-alcoholic. But its a crucial ingredient. |

You can use lemon juice instead of lemon squash.

Use fresh lemon juice and lemonade.
Also, try bottled margarita mix. |

(powder mix you could buy attached to a brandy bottle) !!!! No wonder you were gagging - the cypriots would get mildly excited at the thought of a powder substitute...................... |
