Johnny Blade - Carlsberg Special Brew, Diamond White and a single JD in the top. Named after the Sabbath tune of the same name. Like a nitro snakebite.

Couple of years ago I did a house call on a fella who had just made himself one of those (except the shot was vodka) and he kindly offered me one too, just as if you'd said, "Tea?".  I said 11am was a little early.

When I was returning to London from Leonardo Da Vinci Airport, Rome, at the end of August, I noticed that all the Duty Free Shops were promoting Limoncello Liqueur, and Melone Grappa Bottega.

 

Check here for Limoncello Liqueur:-  https://www.google.co.uk/?gws_rd=ssl#q=limoncello

Check here for Melone Grappa Bottega:- https://www.google.co.uk/?gws_rd=ssl#q=melone+grappa+bottega

I bought one bottle of each (long since finished).    I couldn't find any in Tesco's.  

Interestingly, Tesco's now have Limoncello Dessert, which can be found in their Dessert Aisle, next to Tiramisu, Cheesecake, etc. It is made in Italy for Tesco, but I expect it is available in other supermarkets.  

My mum keeps buying me bottles of Limoncello - fuck knows why. I never really know what to do with it so I just mix it with lemonade or tonic and drink it that way.

Normally I like a Lynchburg Lemonade (JD+lemonade), a Bloody Mary if I've skipped lunch, or whatever form of Martini I'm in the mood for. A TVR (Tequila, Vodka, Red Bull) or two if I'm a bit tired.

Is snakebite and black a cocktail? I like that

I was drinking them before I watched the film as it happens, but I suspect the person who introduced me to them was inspired by The Dude.

One important point about cocktails: Please only order them at cocktail bars.

My heart sinks when I'm waiting in a normal pub to order a couple of pints and the girls next to me request four different cocktails. I might as well go back to my table and order my drinks from Amazon.

English Garden.

 Gin, apple juice, elderflower cordial and a dash of lime. 

 Not entirely heterosexual but still lovely all the same.
