Easter 2008. The coldest Easter I can remember. I was living
& working in Holland at the time, but my girlfriend was still in the UK.
I’d come back to see her for the holidays. The problem was that it was freezing!
The ground was covered in snow & if it wasn’t pouring with rain, it was
blowing an arctic gale. Not the best time for a family outing.
We still had drinks cabinet full of booze from Christmas
& with a limited amount of things to do, we decided to spend the afternoon
attempting this task. Hours & hours we spent trying to come up with the
perfect recipe. It was really hard work, believe me! We finally settled on:
1.
A shot of Whiskey.
2.
A shot of Tia Maria.
3.
5 parts Ginger beer.
4.
3 parts Pineapple juice.
Topped with a twist of Lime & served in a Champagne
flute.
Admittedly, we were pretty merry by the end of the day. My
girlfriend thought our new creation tasted like the worst cocktail she’d ever
had. I thought it was a thing of beauty & it is only a matter of time
before it makes its way to only the most exclusive bars all over London.
