Imma get neat whisky from now on.
I actually consider a lot of movies to be life-changing! I take them to my heart and they melt into my personality.

I don't think I have ever drunk Pimm's, maybe not being an Anglophile is leading to self-hate. I'm moving to Cardiff, not many Anglophiles there.

So I don't cook but your food creations are inspiring so...

Bottled #homebrew #3 this eve!  First partial grain brew was a Winter Warmer with malted barley(s), hops, honey, vanilla bean, cinnamon sticks & fresh ground nutmeg...  can't stand the wait to taste!

also, 2 blended concoctions and a syrup, created this weekend that turned out fantastic:

 - Frozen Pomegranate Mojito (Serves 8 )-
1 cup white rum
2 oz Pama (pomegranate liqueur)
juice if 6 limes
1/3 cup of simple sugar
20 mint leaves
 - Blend w/ ice & serve in an cocktail glass with a mint sprig

 - Caffè Ubriaco (serves 6) -
2 oz Starbucks (coffee liqueur)
2 oz Van Gogh Double Espresso Vodka
2 oz Bailey's Irish Cream
3/4 cup milk (2%)
1 cup coffee ice cream
1 tablespoon coarse ground coffee beans
 - Blend w/ ice till the consistency is like a malted milkshake, serve in an irish coffee mug, top w/ whipped cream & a chocolate covered espresso bean.

note... the garnishes are an assumption of what would look and taste great, i usually don't find myself in formal garnishing setting.

 - Cinnamon and Amaretto Syrup -
2 cups water
2 cups sugar
2 oz amaretto
5 cinnamon sticks
 - combine all ingredients (less water for thicker syrup) and bring to a boil.  Turn heat to low and let simmer for 10-15 minutes.  Let cool.  Pour over banana pancakes (Whomever is making you the real food that morning will appreciate it!)

I'm pretty sure everything Keith listed sounds like the most incredible thing ever. I might even like the coffee one even though I don't like coffee itself.

I cannot make Mojitos properly. It's annoying, don't get much taste out the limes or mint, its all water.

how much of each are you using?  also - it should at least taste like rum!

You need to muddle the mint leaves to help release the flavour. Put the mint leaves in the glass and use a spoon to crush/bruise the mint leaves.
