Cheers! I found a new thing. It will either be delicious or much too sweet

liquid Christmas

Doesn't matter what you do to Stone's GG wine - instant hangover for anyone over 18. Doesn't matter what you mix it with either. Have written myself off far too many times in my yoof on that shit. Made from hospital grade brandy and offcuts from the glace ginger industry. And hospital grade brandy is distilled grape stalks and seeds and only good for disinfectant. Granted it's quite good disinfectant.
EDIT for l'esprit d'escalier - think of the above as chocolate/orange flavored Handy Andy.

I quite like the Mac version as a winter warmer, but this one isn’t hitting the Terry’s spot I was hoping for.

We used to do hot chocolate powder and cointreau at a bar I worked for a terrys shot.

How do I do it? I'll test it now

[–] dumblederp@aussie.zone 3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

IIRC it was about 2 tsp choc, a dash of hot water to melt it and a shot of cointreau, possibly topped off with soy or milk. It was not a professional shot but more of a stoned bartender creation in a bar with a very limited range - Meyers Place.

But choc and orange, it's not rocket science, you're a capable person.

I could go a slug of Cointreau in hot choc, but not this weekend.

Ooo. Green ginger wine. The ultimate cold curing elixir or you're too pissed to remember that you have a cold. Cheers 🍺

I am sceptical

[–] Catfish@aussie.zone 3 points 9 months ago

Your skepticism is well founded. It tastes just like the normal version, just slightly gritty. Ho hum. Might bake with it. Back to the ciders.
