[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 330820, member: 1991"] Try them with a dash of Angostura bitters as well. Our family's favourite drink is lemon, lime and bitters. It's very simple - a plain lemonade or even better, a homemade lemonade or lime-ade (made with limes) than add a dash of lime cordial (not the bright green stuff, but the pale yellow Rose's stuff) and finally, a dash of bitters. You serve it NOT all mixed up, so the layers are still sort of swirling and the bitters are adding a pale sunset colour to the bottom of the glass (or the top). With ice. If you want it alcoholic, you can use gin (for a gin sling) or vodka s an alternative. But if you're drinking out with a group of friends and you don't want to imbibe, then have one of these without the gin or vodka and nobody will be any the wiser. Not that it should matter. husband & I are trying to reinvent a drink we had just before Christmas when we went to see "Mama Mia!" at the casino. They sell these in plastic martini glasses that flash different colours, it's very effective and a real party atmosphere when there are a lot of these lighting up the audience. The cocktail was green. Very. And frozen. It tasted tropical and delicious. We analysed what was in it and have since improved on it. Here goes - one part Midori. One part rum with coconut (we get a brand here called Bombora, you could also use Malibu) Four parts pineapple juice Freeze this mix. It won't fully freeze, although the more pineapple juice you use in the mix, the more it will freeze. But the sugars in the pineapple juice also stop it freezing solid. Break it up with a fork, and serve. If you can't get coconut-flavoured rum, freeze the mix with either ordinary rum or vodka or maybe no other alcohol. Then serve the slushy, but then after serving, add a Tablespoonful of coconut cream. You can make these weaker or stronger, but if you freeze your drink after you make it, it automatically slows down your intake. You have to wait for the second one to freeze before you can have it!
