Tuesday Tipple

You will be thrilled to know that instead of encouraging you all to imbibe, I shall also be encouraging you to EAT something nice and nibbly to go with the Tipple.


I have a friend who works in an area concerning alcohol consumption rules and regs and I am sure she will be delighted with this innovation.


So, let's get crazy today. Let's have a.....


KAMIKAZE


ice cubes
25 ml Vodka
25 ml Cointreau
25 ml lime juice cordial (if you like a really sour drink, just use real lime juice)


Put ice in a small tumbler and pour over the Vodka, Cointreau and lime juice cordial. Stir well and have a seat - then drink up!


Have some Devilled Brazils to go with it.


225g brazil nuts
50g butter
10ml olive oil or corn oil
5 ml each dry mustard and paprika
5 ml each of celery salt and garlic salt.


Slice nuts fairly thickly (hard to slice 'em think anyway), fry gently in butter and oil for 3-4 minutes or until a pale golden colour turning them often. remove from pan, drain, and sprinkle with seasonings. Serve hot or cold 0- they're delicious either way!


And because I'm feeling mellow,  we can cruise along with Otis! (Fill me up, Bar Keep!)
