Crikey..

So as I promised the search for cocktail concoction kit commenced (gosh that's hard to say) today...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I thought ha I will be smart and look on the internet and it will be no hassle what so ever...
How very wrong indeed...
Search engines can be very useful but you have to watch out what you put in exactly. 
You can imagine the shock when I wanted to view a "slippery nipple" and got several images of actual slippery nipples in somewhat compromising positions...
It was indeed fun for the first 500 images-I'm still unsure of the real receipe!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
As I mentioned before it's an expensive business being a cocktail connoisseur. But good ol' Tesco did prevail with a few of the answers. 'Sexy glasses' aka those posh ones nice bars put your Cosmo in....I found out they are called Conical wine glasses...soooo will defo be able to score a few of them! :D RESULT!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The downside to my story is the actual booze is going to be costly...maybe it's the student inside me screeeeeaming not to keep spending my preciously earned pennies or I might just be tight...
Still the cheapest (nice vodka not paint stripper substitute) was around £15 for 1 Litre...and then the triple sec for a teeny weeny couldn't even make 5 Cosmos was £6

After that I just couldn't stay amongst the spirits any longer I was pining for bevvy.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
So I am still searching to be honest and will try and stretch my purse strings that little bit further..
Until I find that perfect shop-Poundland for wino's- I will keep searching.

  1. OK Kirsty, you got me and James really tempted with all this talk of cocktails! So we may have gone a bit mad with the booze in Tesco in order to have a fun Valentine's cocktail experiment!

    It's so addictive making lots of cool colours so we may have ended up a little pissed...

    But these are the main tips I can come up with: buy some grenadine (It's got no alcohol content so it's cheap- £3.something, but it makes a brilliant red colour). We were determined to work out how to make the colours separate, and eventually discovered that if you pour the grenadine in last (ie. over the orange juice and whatever booze concoction you've shaken up) it sinks to the bottom. Result!

    Still haven't figured out how to make a layer of blue though...
