We spent a very memorable evening in October last in Tuscan with two new good friends we met onboard. Now I don’t drink beer, wine or wiskey so I sampled thier entire cocktail menu durring the meal. I can’t remeber proportions so I will make a best geus or two over the next couple of nights
El Don Julio

Day 21 of my lock down cocktail countdown and yes Lisa Beeler Bidner I do have the El Don Julio on my list…..
the El Don Julio from the World Class Bar
I’ve used slightly less simple syrup as my mix is 2 to 1 and I’m not sure what the WCB uses.
Brandy Alexander.
40ml Cognac (as it happens this is the tail of our bottle from our stay in an RS in Sept last year), 40ml Creme de Cacao Brown and 40 ml Cream. Not forgeting a grate of nutmeg….the perfect pudding.
Day 20 of my lock down cocktail countdown and not a pre dinner cocktail but this time an after dinner cocktail. In memory of my darling mother in law, known to some as Dame Judy. This was her goto at the end of an evening in Michaels Club and I hope to drink one to her memory in July or even October if this vial virus prevails
