Anyone got any recipes to make drinks from Saphire Gin?
I bought my father in law a bottle and he doesn't know what to do with it.
I have no idea what drinks you can make with it.
We probably would have been better off getting him a book.

Wish I could help you, but in my years of drunken stupidity, I never drank Gin. Had a bad experience with it. Been sober 16 years.

Go to www.bombaysapphire.com
Or search gin cocktails in Google- there are gazillions of recipes. Why not copying the best ones in a nice booklet and make an extra gift out of them:)

I went to the bombay site but it's so difficult to get a recipe.
There are about 2 recipes....?
They show a visual tutorial and the music is so annoying.

My parents enjoy an occasional gin and tonic - with lime. Or a gin fizz?

I think you can make gimlets with gin rather than vodka... Those are kind of yummy...

DUDE, try a tequila gimlet.

Make sure you are at home and have the curtains drawn first.

It has a way of making clothes disintegrate.:eek::D

A bridal shower with Bacardi punch
Jello shooters full of Smirnoff
But Tequila makes her clothes fall off.." - Joe Nichols

I can't handle the taste of tequila! Heck, I don't even like spicy salsa. :)

Student wakes up in 150ft crane cab

An Austrian student woke up in the cab of a 150-foot-high crane after a night boozing with friends.

Stefan Hohenwart, 28, told police he had no idea how he got up there when they found him after construction workers called them in Graz.

Officers said he was driven home and would face no charges since he had not caused any damage.

A police spokesman said: "The construction workers turned up to start in the morning and the crane operator got quite a surprise when he went up and found the student snoring away in his cab.

"When our officers got there and get the man down he swore he had no idea how he got up there and just remembers leaving the pub and feeling very tired."

The spokesman added: "Going up 150 feet into the crane cab can be a risky undertaking at the best of times, let alone after a heavy drinking session. This man was very lucky he got up there safely."



Sounds like Tequila to me!
