Compo 10,328 Posted December 24, 2012 Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 I wonder if you could use a crushed Jubbly? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted December 24, 2012 Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 When I first started in the pub trade a girl asked for a 'snowball'. I just got a highball glass, put in a measure of Advocaat and filled up with lemonade, finally topping off with a marachino cherry. She immediatly complained saying that it should always have orange juice (cordial) in it ! Not arguing with her I said I'd never heard of it being made that way and I simply poured a measure of squash carefully down inside the glass , she went away happy and that was the last one I ever made ( about 30 years ago) After deciding to do some this year I had a look online for recipes for them. I found 6 different ones , two said lime cordial , the other four were just with lemonade not one mention of lime orange juice/ cordial anywhere !! So one in the eye to you Gill Harrod !! I was more right than you were !! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mick2me 3,033 Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 Whats your favorite tipple? Had a run up Mansfield Road last night with some old friends from Notts. First tine for some pubs and a couple not been in since previous meet ups. The Poacher sells a good choice of beers and this one was very passable Lincoln Red - Castle Rock Brewery Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 Always was a good crawl starting at the Peacock, then criss crossing Mansfield Rd then cut through on to North Sherwood St. Then do every pub down to the Clinton Arms. I first tried Southern Comfort and lime chasers there. Brilliant. . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,507 Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 We were in Doctors Orders for an hour or so last night Mick, don't suppose you got that far up Mansfield Road did you? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
poohbear 1,360 Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 The days of pub crawls are over for me,far too expensive.I object to paying around three quid for a pint of coloured water....got better things to spend my money on. Remember 'Castella..for the price of a pint?'...it would be a ruddy expensive smoke nowadays. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 Two pints nowadays and I'd be peeing every ten minutes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Limey 242 Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 My favorite is "Hemlock Bitter" also from Castle Rock but not brewed all the time. Last sampled during a meet-up at the Poacher. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob.L 1,088 Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 We don't get out as much as we used to, but of late, we've been frequenting the Samuel Hall in Sherwood. OK, it's a Wetherspoons, but they do stock a good selection of beers from the Nottingham Brewing Company, and their Bus Depot or Dreadnought bitters are particularly nice - especially when washing down a 14oz Aberdeen Angus steak on a Tuesday. Normal price for the beers is about £2.20 a point, but if you go for the Steak Club deal, you can get two good-sized meals and two pints for less than fifteen quid. Might sound a lot, but I paid more than that for one 8oz steak on its own last week when I was in Glasgow (well, the company actually paid, but you get my drift...). http://www.nottinghambrewery.co.uk/our_beers.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bilbraborn 1,594 Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 Ages since I had a good booze-up. Odd times I have a quick pint with my eldest son, but normally sit and watch TV together with a couple of cans of whatever is on offer. We both prefer a decent Whisky these days and save up for a bottle of Chivas Regal at Christmas. I remember the big bottles of Shippos Nut Brown. Every party had them. My Dad reckoned Shippos bitter was the best local laxative going. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dgbrit 258 Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 Pepsi that's it nothing else You can buy a 36 pack of Beer cheaper Bud or Coors than a 24 pack Pepsi Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob.L 1,088 Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 Ah, Nut Brown. My dad used to send me to the off licence to get him a quart now and again. No quibbles about me only being a kid at the time, as they knew everyone locally. Weapon of choice for parties for me, though, was a Party 7. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

darkazana 1,736 Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 #11 My husbands tipple of choice too, Basfordred. In fact they are not readily available up here, in Moffat so we have to buy a stash and bring them up for our colleagues too! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
