Good thinking on the cocktails, I was wanting something like that for a cheap summer "help yourself to as much as you can drink" err drink.

No just bottled it up as per the coopers instructions. Done 3 batches now with no exploding bottles... yet! Had a few glasses of my 2nd batch yesterday. I didn't make it as strong and have used different lime cordial. TBH it wasn't quite as good as the first batch but then it hasn't had the...

50ml As it was only 1 litre of lime + 50ml of tequila to 22 litres of lager I didn't even take that sugar into account so just went by the instructions on the kit for sugar when bottling. I used granulated sugar throughout, not ideal I know but I'm a cheapskate so... (Anyone know anywhere to...

I decided to have a go at making some Desperados and it turned out quite well, so I'm sharing my results. It doesn't taste exactly the same but it is a reasonable copy. It certainly goes down well as I went through 40 pints in a matter of weeks! With summer coming this is a perfect time to get...

I, like probably most people on here, had a request from the other sex for a girlie drink. I decided to give the ASDA 50% High Juice White Grape and Peach a whirl. Everyone so far has said it tastes "just like white wine", well it tastes like a cross between white wine and grape juice - perfect...
