    Rather than buying creme de cacao use a teaspoon of chocolate syrup.

    Not heard of that one, I've heard of a brandy Alexander as drunk by Anthony Blanche in Brideshead Revisited ... 'down the little red road they go';)
  • ravylesley - roflmao.....you are definately not alone - it was my first thought too!

    Am I the only one who thought you could get rip roaringly drunk with the gin and cointreau?:rotfl:

    ....it's pancake day on Tuesday - it's obvious you must make crepes suzette with the cointreau.....use lots.....mmmmmmmm.....I love that something as simple as pancakes drenched in syrup flavoured with cointreau and bits of orange sounds so posh when you call it crepes suzette!!!!
