It's happy hour SOMEWHERE!!!

"I feel sorry for people who don't drink. 

When they wake up in the morning, 

that's as good as they're going to feel all day." 

Frank Sinatra 

Cocktails a la Capri-sun style.. Pluses... handy to have at home in your freezer.. and a damn sight cheaper than you'd pay in a bar in town... I've tried the berry one and its LUSH! in fact a little too easy to drink... *hiccup* 

Berry Daiquiri - 4 PP
Pina Colada - 7 PP
Citrus daiquiri - I'd point it at 4 PP same as the Berry one... 

I'll update this as soon as I have the correct value!

Drink sensibly!

PPPOTD - Holidays are comin'... holidays are comin' ...

Actually, it only takes one drink to get me loaded. Trouble is, I can’t remember if it’s the thirteenth or fourteenth... George Burns

It's coming... there's no stopping it and it's been there since the little people went back to school in September! Yep.. Christmas... There's tinsel in tesco and both the Coke and Guinness ad have aired on the tellybox .. it's here.. like it or lump it! And... that means PARTY time! Which in camp Doll is drinkies... hey its Ireland I'm contractually obliged with the DNA I've got! BUT lets remember how calorie laden those bottles of fun are!

I was recently sent a sample of a yummy new vodka called Gecko.. Now this is one of those flavoured Vodkas so if you're not a vodka kid or indeed are a bit of purist then .. look away... The sweet caramel flavour is YUMMY.. and those who know me as a hardened gin drinker I may have been converted! This bottle was shared at the launch of my new kitchen, yep THAT'S why I've been missing.. my house is FULL of builders and dust.. yes laydeeezzzz... BOB-el-Builder is in possession of my kitchen and living room! *keep the wolf whistles down please!* This does mean however that recipes shall commence shortly in FULL force! stay tuned! I digress..



I tried this vodka neat, and with ice and a pal tried it over ice cream.. you heard me... and its delish... market wise its being positioned as tasty alternative to Tequila/Sambuca, its a definite yes for those with a sweet tooth...

Here's the lowdown on it..

Per 35 ml shot = 3 PP

Check it out if you see it for sure!

For the rest of you... the definitive Christmas list is below.. go easy on it.. remember its empty calories.. and age means that the hangovers last ever longer... sigh.. as the ad says.. Drink Sensibly kids... Doll x
