Only know the second one but would love to know the rest
Nice! No pics to show us?
I'd love to try eggnog one Christmas. The yanks make such a big deal of it.

I don't like eggnog at all. I really don't find milk mixed with raw eggs appetising.
Hmmm. I suppose the suger, spices and alcohol would help mask the taste of egg though?

I've been eyeing up this stuff. Thinking of trying some pre-made stuff to start off with, and if its any good I might consider making some of my own further down the line.

I'm waiting on some local blackberry bushes to ripen, couple of weeks i think then going to do a blackberry vodka.
Anyone ever tried a Caipirinha?
I make the best Caipirinha. Fact.
They are one of my favorite drinks.
Probably the best Cachaça i have ever tried http://www.iguanas.co.uk/shop
I am guessing this is in the wrong thread?
I take that as competition and I challenge you!
I personally use Pitu Cachaça never bought a difference brand.
And it is off topic to the original post but still on the line of alcohol and making drinks. I just don't think many people know of this drink figured I would see who else knew about it and have tried it.

I love caipirinha though I kind of such at making it. I'd be happy to drink ones made by both of the above to help you resolve your challenge though

I highly recommend they Cachaca i linked, it is made just outside of Rio at Las Iguanas own distillery & then shipped over.
Las Iguanas said:
The more expensive bottle is only £22.50 for the 1 liter bottle! Seen as you live in London you will no doubt have a Las Iguanas near you, you can buy the Cachaca and other products in the restaurant.

They are very easy;
1 whole lime cut in to 8 in a tumbler with 2 heaped bar spoons spoons of a fine white sugar, muddle the two together
add crushed ice & then pour Cachaca over to pretty much fill the glass, next mix the contents of the glass (put your hand over the top of it to minimise spillage)
Once mixed, top off with more crushed ice and voila!

Never heard of Las Iguanas I usually buy my Cachaca in Portugal when I go and bring back as much as I can. Pitu is decent stuff but I would defiantly like to try Magnifica.
Side note the only thing it seems I do different to you is I usually use brown sugar if I can.
