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 ?😃

No, you drink so much you just forget there was a problem

Engine is now sorted, not mine, obviously, the boat next door!

Now I can see why you wanted to get that fridge/freezer working. After all, what is a cocktail without ice.

I used to have a bottle of Martini Rosso, back in the day, but it's not really drinkable nowadays

Didn't Leonard Rossiter used to advertise that ol' muck, back in the 80s?

I dunno. You would have to ask Lady G. She is the cocktail expert.

 

Yes she seems to know a LOT about them...!

Anyway. Peroni is what you give your wife for indigestion. Negroni you give her for a damaged patella, and pepperoni to appease her. Hold the anchovies. 

 

Wow. Tough crowd.

Wasn't Peroni a Spanish dictator?

 

Or was that Mascarpone?

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.

of all the vodkas - I can’t drink any Smirnoff it makes me retch,

any cheap brand is better and add your own flavours, if it’s flavoured vodka your after,

Co-op vodka is very good, along with Glen’s vodka,

but you can’t beat a bottle of Stollie,

Ive done me research over the years, 

I wouldn’t drink Smirnoff if it were being given away,

 

what you really want is Ukrainian beetroot vodka, that’s the ticket !

 

I wonder if you could use your bottle as antifreeze?
