Buffy Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 This is a combo thread transfer from Irish's Kelly's Koffee recipe and Opie's wondering what I'm saying "cheers" all the time with. SO, first, Buffy's Top Ten Heartwarming and Whistlecooling Beverages:1) Coffee-black2) Espresso3) Peet's Cafe Freddo (see a theme here?)4) Margarita (see below)5) Trader Vic's Mai Tai (with pupus!), or any Mai Tai on the beach in Maui or Kauai6) Pledge Of Allegiance Daquiri (see below)7) Martini (Skyy), dirty, up, with 2 olives8) Cosmopolitans...only when out with the girls...9) Wild Turkey, rocks, with a twist (when stuck in a Texas honky tonk or the Saddle Rack in Fremont)10) Mint Julep: only on the first Saturday in May or when in New Orleans...11) Guinness: whenever I'm in a pub in Dublin or London12) Glenmorangie: whenever I'm in Edinburgh Okay, you got two bonus items! In spite of the sign off, no I don't actually consume that much... :evil: Second, a few of Buffy's recipes: Buffy's Perfect Margarita: Sauza Hornitos or Herradura GoldGrand MarnierRose's Lime or Dr. Swami's Margarita MixRocks, half salt. Pledge of Allegiance Daquiri:Main complication is that it requires 3 blenders... In all three blenders:Rum: 2:1 mixture of Bacardi:Myers (weird, its a requirement: if you're adventurous, switch it to 3:1 an substitute Bacardi 151 for the Myers, either one adds "bite" thats not there in the white Bacardi)Roughly equal parts rum to Rose's Lime juice Ice to 2 times the height of the liquid Then: Blender 1: Strawberries, or for the adventurous (who don't mind seeds) Raspberries Blender 2: Bananas (more adventurous) or Pina ColadaBlender 3: Blueberries, (more adventurous) Blackberries or (my favorite) Loganberries and to get the full effect, a drop or two of blue food dye... Blend all well and pour layered into tall glasses.... Cheers! :) Buffy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffy Posted August 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 Buffy, I don't drink, and somehow you've given me a craving for one of those daquiris.Well, I won't encourage bad habits for anyone, but I also say "moderation in all things..." I vote for you to sell all hypography merchandise :)So you can tell now that my actual area of expertise is in...marketing! :) "It cures everything that ails you!"Buffy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffy Posted August 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 Some advice relevant to the delicious recipes in this thread, from yesterday's Leah Garchik column in the SF Chronicle: "310 pounds! ... I need to stop putting salt on my margaritas. It makes me retain water..." -- Man at Kaiser in Santa Rosa Yes, moderation in all things! :hihi: Cheers,Buffy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
