rusty69 Posted August 25, 2022 Report Posted August 25, 2022 Now I can see why you wanted to get that fridge/freezer working. After all, what is a cocktail without ice. 1

I am curious about how a Negroni fixes a boat demonstrating engine problems!🐵 Do you pour it in the fuel tank or directly into the air intake? Or do you just drink it while waiting for the engineer to pitch up ?😃

Hudds Lad Posted August 25, 2022 Report Posted August 25, 2022 but, but, but… isn’t a Negroni made from Sweet Vermouth, Gin & Campari in equal parts? *goes to cupboard to check books*

Ex Brummie Posted August 28, 2022 Report Posted August 28, 2022 Soda in a Negroni????? Apart from the fruit and ice, everything should be alcoholic. Hudd's Lad has it right.
LadyG Posted March 6, 2024 Author Report Posted March 6, 2024 OK, reviving this thread as nothing else seems nearer. I noticed Smirnoff Vodka Tamarind on offer so i bought a bottle. It's undrinkable, I've tried it straight on ice, and with spiced tomato cocktail, soda, lime, lemon, I can't get rid of the taste. I usually use the undrinkable bargains in curry, but I'm stumped , but that concentrates the flavours, in this instance I need to kill them.

I wonder if you could use your bottle as antifreeze?
