    cocktails!!! :D

    mix the port with Blue WKD to make a Cheeky Vimto :beer:

    and a proper Bloody Mary needs a drop of sherry

    recipe from Tabasco bottle

    2 ice cubes
    fresh tomato juice with a few drops of lemon
    celery salt
    dash of Tabasco
    Worcestershire sauce
    a few drops of sherry (sweet is ok)
    freshly ground black pepper

    add 2 measures of vodka & stir together :beer:

    Port and brandy is a really good cure for indigestion. Plus it tastes good.
    Anyone who lives within their means suffers from a lack of imagination:beer:

    Thank you all so much - love the ideas - I love bloody mary's but never realised you should add sherry. Yes both bottles have been opened so I was in some sort of hurry to use them up - so they won't go off easily? Great!!
    I love the idea of adding to beef or with mushrooms & cream - thank you all so much. I'll get stuck in tonight :O)
