Cocktail Wednesday (on Friday) yes I'm a bit slow

For the last few weeks Shay and I have been trying out cocktails that we pinned on Pinterest, just like the meals we tried out earlier in the year. I have a feeling that the cocktail hit each week is going to last longer than the meals did. We are really enjoying trying out "new to us" cocktails and enhancing our booze cupboards! Thea has also joined in with us and is planning the cocktail for next week.

This week it was my pick, and I chose Tiffany's Lemonade, purely because I liked the sound of the name and the colour of the drink.  I'm not a huge fan of lemonade but I thought the alcohol would mask the taste. It didn't.  I think if I was to make it again, I'd maybe try it with club soda instead of lemonade, as I like peach schnapps and blue curaçao, although the colour of blue curaçao looks very similar to toilet cleaner. 

I'd rate this cocktail as a 3 out of 5.

  1. This made me laugh, the colour of toilet cleaner indeed! I do think the idea of a new cocktail each week sounds fun.

  2. You're not late for last Wednesday, you're early for this Wednesday!
    This looks interesting, but your comment about loo cleaner has me laughing and gagging - no way I could drink this now.
    Given it's mango season we are getting right into the mango daiquiris at our house. Some with vodka, some with white rum, we're not fussy! With all the whole fruit in them, they've got to be good for us, surely.

    Enjoy your weekend! (is it as hot on the Sunny Coast as it is in Brissie today? Phew, I"ll be getting the blender out once the kids are home from school).

  3. It must have been a good cocktail night if Thurs disappeared. I'm really enjoying seeing what you guys come up with each week. You're certainly picking some unusual ones.

  7. The comment on the looking like toilet bowl cleaner gave me quite the giggle. Thanks. I think the idea of using club soda sounds good, I'm not much for lemonade either.

  8. Glad you tried out blue Curacao - I have a tiny bottle still from our year living in Curacao, never thought to clean the loos with it tho.x

  9. Very pretty to look at, sorry it didn't go down quite as fast as a loo flush...

  10. We might have to start calling it the Toilet Duck Cocktail ;o) Sounds like it would taste nice though, but I don't mind lemonade
