Cocktails are very fashionable at the moment. You walk into any pub and there will be signs everywhere about cocktails …..usually 2 for 1. I ,personally, have never had a cocktail …..am I missing out on something magical ? I’m not sure about that ….. Anyway …do you drink cocktails ? What’s your favourite ? What is in it ? Do you find them expensive ?

@traceyjayne Very expensive. I do like an expertly prepared negroni if I’m feeling posh but most of the concoctions seem a bit girly.

@Traceyjayne Gin, Campari and sweet Vermouth. Reminiscent of the taste of Venos expectorant but it goes well with the gathering of clouds of melancholy at a rooftop bar in Athens. .

I don’t drink, but I have had a cocktail, and thought they were delicious.

They are expensive, but yes I do like a cocktail now and then. Not really something that comes up though because I wouldn't generally go out for a cocktail on my own. I like something like a brandy alexander.

@Traceyjayne I think it's just brandy, cream, and creme de cacao, with a sprinkle of nutmeg on top. Many of these things are quite easy to make but you don't have all the ingredients - I don't have any creme de cacao and I don't even know where to get any!
