The grapes got their revenge on me and I missed the Tipple on Tuesday (should have missed the tipple on Monday shouldn't I!! - still, old enough to know better and young enough to do it anyway)...so, if you're thirsty this Thursday here's what I'm having:-
Poinsotta
20ml cointreau
40ml cranberry juice
sparkling wine or champers
Pour Cointreau and juice into a champagne flute and top with sparkling wine (or champers).
Now, I'd advise you to quaff this with a good ol' friend, which is what I'm going to do. My friend of a long time (she hates being referred to as an old friend) is jetting in from Sydney this arvo (see, I speak Aussie) and we're going to have a good old fashioned catch up! I can't wait. And when we have polished off the Poinsotta we will probably get into some red wine...

I picked up 'arvo' when I was travelling in Oz 20 years ago, and I have never been able to let it go, love it.
Hi Missbehaving - arvo, ambo, bottleO...they are obsessed with big O's eh? ;-)
As long as you're not getting any aggro, all's good.
WV: fishn, as in gone
Haha, lucky Louciao going fishn. My WV is telling me where you gone "inoolou", you'll be feeling flushed no doubt!
Not getting aggro or biffo, I'm a polite drunko.
too funny, sag, my aussie friend baino is off this weekend for some time with the girls. i started thinking what a hoot if it were she and you.... :)

xoxo
Oooohh, sounds like trouble ! Behave yourself twin sis, ok ?
WV : "wonsallo"... hmmm, maybe as in; after one too many drink, the bartender in the bad light with his bad teeth was looking like wonsallo sumbitch, not to be messed with... ?
Ah that's more like it! I'm going to enjoy that tonight. You like your cointreau don't you. Which is fortunate as .... so do I!!!
And here's me thinking a Poinsotta
was a plant with pretty red leaves...!
Could be a dangerous combination, Sag.....cocktails and red wine !
the biggest poinsettas I ever saw were growing wild in AUS.
have fun, you young 'uns.
shopping list: add cointreau.
haha yes like Steve I misunderstood there. I read your para at the moment and wondered why you were going to eat the Poinsetta before starting on the red wine. Thought you had gone vegetarian.
Then I read the tipple recipe and all was clear.
And I am sober, honest. It's only lunchtime.
Hope you have fun with your mate this arvo.
So how was your hangover?
kj - set your friend round and I'm sure we'll all have a great time!
Owen - you will be pleased to know that my decorum was wonderful as usual!
Selina - ok, so the duty free order will always be a large Cointreau!
Steve - ha, I wondered when that would happen. I thought that when I fisrt read the recipe too!
Villager - NOW you tell me!
Violet - I saw a huge display in a shop once, literally took up 2 floors!
RB -Of COURSE you're sober!
AWB- ooh, actually, wasn't too bad. My poor mate got what we politely refer to as 'the trots' and was slow oputta her straps!
