35ml Gin
50ml homemade ginger syrup
50ml freshly squeezed lemon juice
100ml London Pride ale
Whizz up the ginger syrup, lemon juice, gin and half a cup of ice in a blender. Strain through a sieve into a frozen beer stein and top up with London Pride. If you don’t have a blender, place the ginger syrup, lemon juice and gin in a cocktail shaker with ice and get you shake on. Harder work but just as tasty!
Was wondering what to do with my leftover homemade ginger syrup.
A shaky pete’s is a thing of wizardry, and you can buy ginger syrup readily enough online…
Ref mulled wine - gotta be fortified, and never boiled. With red wine, I add port, grand mariner and brandy. For mulled cider, Chuck in some Calvados.
bosstrabs Oh yeah, fucking hell. Mulled wine: the shittest thing about Christmas. Hideous stuff.
Not a bad remedy if you have a few bottles turning. I feel the same way about sangria. Not ideal, but better than wasting good wine. Both are versatile so it doesn’t really matter what you have or how you mix it.
Being the bang on trend ledge that I am, I’m also rather impartial to a Hazy Jane by Brewdog.
Living on the edge, how I roll.

Do you mean you are partial to it, you dickhead?
Smallman drinking a citrus IPA. Massive surprise at Lemony Thicket there.
That’s the one Dave!
It’s a New England IPA actually Dave. And a fairly shit one at that. The original HJ was dank AF and about 7% ABV but since they sold out, it’s 5% pisswasser
C_J Original was decent.
Current just shite supermarket piss.
No surprise to see the idiot namechecking it.

C_J This one’s far better than Hazy Jane IMO. Been around longer. Is this the one you were talking about?

A Turbo Shandy is a pretty masculine cocktail imo. Half lager, half Smirnoff ice. Bosh!
Love the stuff.
The perfect way to ease oneself into an absolute session.
Nope.

How confusing.
Give the O-G a whirl if you haven’t already. May not be identical to the original Hazy Jane, but sounds a lot closer to it than the 5% stuff…
They do a Triple Hazy as well, which is lovely, but lethal.
vinnyt77 oh I’ve given it a whirl alright 😂
Its alright. I find it struggles to hide the alcohol content.
The 2017 version was a proper artisanal product.
So it turns out we’re all fans of Hazy Jane?
Scones!
The kids have got me a bottle of Nikka in the barrel for Christmas and I have been perusing the Master of Malt website for more gear. An alladin’s cave of wonder that site.
Millsy How does Japanese whiskey compare to a Scottish single malt? Can’t say I’ve sampled one yet.
It’s a wee bit nippier apparently.
C_J Lol
C_J It’s a wee bit nippier apparently.
It’s also made by SLANTY-EYED CUNTS. LOL
