10%?

driving JD and coke that is

If you add coke to a JD at home its no longer 40% by volume, of liquid, though is it ? So maybe no driving ?

yeah but 33ml of JD - come on!! pour the bottle, don't tickle it

But JD isn't 100% vol on it's own! Its 40% vol. So 10% vol would mean that a quarter of the can is Jack Daniels, or 82.5ml, shirley?

fair point, still not enough though

If you cant see through it, its got too much coke in it.

Grog in a self heating can for those cold, foggy 363 days of English weather...

My fav at the moment, although it does have a strange effect on your guts!

Cinzano and Lemonade

Tia Maria and Coke.

Skittles vodka does rock though - just take out the green ones.

Jelly baby vodka.

Polo vodka.

Damson gin

mojito in a bottle please

Wont work. I know some very prominent and determined people who have tried only to be rewarded with chronic failure.

Something like a Long Island iced tea would be much more successful as you can keep all the ingredients fresh.

As in, it makes your sick purple?

I'm more concerned about the effect it has on my legs and the speach centre of my brain

what's the problem with it - too fresh or does the sugar react in the bottle?

[paulmurr]

Sleepy, wouldn't the fresh mint go brown and bitter?

[sleep envy]

that's what I'm thinking - mint and sugar in a bottle/can fermenting over time

ETA - unless they use mint extract

White Russian.
The perfect drink - no hangover, strong bones to cope with all the subsequent falling over, no one mine-sweeps it, greedy children learn vital lessons, all the girls want to stroke it and copious amounts were drunk by the Big Lobowski. Nuff said.
(Market it with a red and white straw a la Humphrey)

Mint extract is generally what the current products use but it just aint the same. You need the fresh mint and crushed ice to really make the drink work.

Sitting in Melbourne Lounge drinking a G&T (with Gordon's gin sadly not Bombay Sapphire which I had at Auckland a couple of days ago) and thinking that this mix could be done,

I know that Gordons do it a in can (not exactly premium) and we supply the packaging for the same drink in New Zealand which is in glass, which looks pretty good.

You need to read the 'what gin thread' !
