    :eek: I thought we weren't supposed to mention the 'T' word (or lack of) on here.....
  • Just checked my drinks cabinet and we are out of rum, This is going to ruin New Year.
    Are you emotionally prepared to have to drink something else?

    I like Baileys but at £18 for a litre bottle or £12 for 70cl, I'm not paying that kind of money for it!

    I make my own 'Baileys' (assuming you have a drop of whisky or brandy in the house):

    2 teasp coffee granules mixed with a little boiling water to dissolve then topped up to 1 mug with cold water
    1 tin light condensed milk
    4oz single cream
    1/2 mug whisky (personally, I use brandy because I prefer it)

    Stick all the above in a bottle, shake it & store in the fridge. Shake regularly to prevent a skin forming - though we usually quaff it within a couple of days so it doesn't get much 'shaking'! :)
    Seen it all, done it all, can't remember most of it.

    That was me, I'm sorry, I was just starting to cook the dinner and it went a bit wrong. I got all emotional and rum was the only thing that helped.
    The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt.
