Cocktail Bar open...

8 May 2010

Reminded by BIoke's cocktail thread - what are we having tonight?
The usual wines, beers and spirits are in. No doubt we shall have some outlandish cocktail requests so I have my cocktail book here and please feel free to request your own recipes.
Volunteers for waiting staff are always welcome. The uniform is as follows:
Ladies - short black, low cut dress, white frilly pinnie (i.e. French maid stylee) with fshnet stockings and heels.
Chaps - just a bartender's apron.
Now then - who's first?

Oh, I like that idea! I wonder if it's possible to devise a cocktail in three layers of red white and blue. Something like grenadine, blue curacao and cream. Doesn't sound terribly appetising though.
Now then, Foxy and NWC. No problem with the drinks, but's what with the bacon butty and curly fries? This is a cocktail bar, not a chuffing cafe! :jagsatwork: We can provide 'nibbles', there'll be plenty of nuts (oi, steady!!) and I might be able to run to some Blinys with caviar - but bacon butties are strictly for Sunday mornings only.
Will - wanders away muttering to himself.

Obviously you've never been to a cocktail bar up North. Mild and drop of Blackcurrant is a cocktail in the dustier end of Doncaster you know. And chips are a perfectly acceptable accompaniment to the poshest high-class beverage (such as Sneck-lifter or Rigg Welter).
And bottled water? What's that about? Nowt wrong wi' tap. And if you want bubbles in it - here, have a straw, make your own bubbles.

I'll have a Mojito please Will - and would my thigh length boots be OK for the heels?

We used to play that game in a hotel bar I frequented in London.
The old German flag was a classic; red wine, advocaat and guinness.
I am retired from cocktail drinking now, but was notorious for the Purple People Eater; tall glass (pint pot will do), a gill of cider, a gill of Special Brew or LCL Special, third of a gill of pernod, third of a gill of vodka and a dash of blackcurrant cordial.
It doesn't make you look cool, but it will make all the opposite sex look more attractive (and some of your own sex, and sundry other species) and it comes with all the advantages of amnesia in a glass.

Oooh, Mojito, that would be lovely. Oh, and your thigh length boots will do fine for the uniform - and pretty much anything else!! :twisted:
So then, is that ALL you're wearing? :rascal: :rascal:

Layers is easy - if you could do the whole thing - you know - the wheel of India, the legs of the Isle of Man, the Hammer & Sickle - that would really be something!!
And what the fuck's a gill? Isn't that what fish breathe out of? dunno

;)
Ok - in edit - a third of a gill is mls and is pronounced 'Jill'. :cool:

That sounds like a good game. Devise cocktails in various national colours.
Right then - suggestions. Some of the African countries could be a nightmare. Have you SEEN their flags? Very striking, but they do have a tendency to look like an explosion in a paint factory! :shock:

I was trying to appeal to a more worldly wise and experienced audience - spirits were always sold in fractions of a gill...

I believe they still are. I'm sure it's still a legal measure. It's great when you find a pub that serves 1/3 of a gill instead of 1/4.

Seeing 125 ml of wine on offer always makes me think of the Pyrex measuring flasks we used in chemsitry at school.

Can someone watch the bar for me? Need to go and start something cooking for tomorrow.

I'm sure no gentleman ever let you do anything as down market as buying your own drinks, so when would you have ever seen the statutory weights and measures sign dangling from the optics?

9 May 2010

Tea, coffee?
Bacon or sausage sandwiches?
Will

9 May 2010

Mmmm sausage sandwich and a big mug of builder's tea, white and one please!

9 May 2010

No problem.
I'm guessing it's mostly those with childen who are up at this time on a Sunday rolleyes

Home alone with three children 5 and under today :crazy: Place your bets on how early I start drinking!
Of course, as a responsible parent in charge I won't (except perhaps a glass of red with the beef casserole I prepared last night). Mind you, as soon as Sappho walks through the door this evening a very large G&T will be called for.

I could make you Caipirinha's and you'd be on your back in no time :rascal:
Egg toasties for me please - yum yum :bounce:

Your breakfast offerings are a bit dead-swineocentric - may I have an everlasting black coffee, some watermelon and a croissant please?
Merci!
And awayman - I accept your back track ;)

Erm no... I've been awake at busy working since 4:30am. No children here. :smug:
I'll happily accept a cappucino and scrambled eggs on toast, if you'd be so kind will.
