I'm having a little get together at mine tomorrow night and I need some cocktail ideas. I was thinking along the lines of drinks such as Sex on the Beach and Sea Breeze, but apart from them two I'm a bit short on ideas :S

So what's your favourite cocktail?

Non-alcoholic cocktails also welcome :)

There's one my friends and I used to drink if we could find a place thatbwould actually serve it to us. 4/5's pint of snakebite. A triple vodka and then topped up with lime. You need to keep stiring it constantly else the vodka sinks to the bottom.

There was another one called "Liquid Cocaine" involving vodka drambuie and absunth, a shot glass a half pint glass a saucer, a straw and a napkin but it takes too long to set up and you need about 2 people to help you drink it!

Sometimes here, sometimes not.

Brandy Alexanders. It's like having a brandy and chocolate milkshake. Yumtastic. You do need proper cocktail glasses to achieve the full effect though.

Anyway. You'll need *ahem*

Creme de Cacao/Bols Cacao Brown

Vanilla ice cream (you could use chocolate ice-cream but it might be a BIT sickly)

Chocolate sauce

Brandy

Put a shot glass or two of Creme de Cacao in a mixer. Add a few scoops of ice cream. Squirt over a load of chocolate sauce. Fling in some brandy (don't bother with measures, it spoils the whole thing. But do make sure you put more brandy than Creme de Cacao in!!). Whizz it all up together.

Enjoy.

It's v. potent but it really does just taste like a milkshake. Totally yummy.

Give us the motivation, we can cause a sensation!

Agree with Mark, I love Mojitos: Lots of crushed up mint and a pinch of brown sugar at the bottom of the glass, white or light Havana rum, lime juice and soda water. I also adore Sea Breezes.

We used to use ginger ale, not lemonade for long vodkas when I worked behind the bar in Glasgow.

This is the most revolting shot I have ever had.:

I've heard that Goldschlager is horrible and cuts up your throat. I've never tried it though.

I spend too much time in cocktail bars considering I can't partake in any, alcoholic or non-alcoholic, there not existing any two drinks which I can actually drink.

I've heard that Goldschlager is horrible and cuts up your throat. I've never tried it though.

That's a common myth, taken from Wikipedia:

A common rumor about Goldschläger is that the gold flakes cut the throat or stomach upon ingestion, allowing the alcohol to directly enter the bloodstream for quicker intoxication. In reality, gold is known for its softness and malleability, and given that the flakes do not have sharp edges, no such lacerations occur.

I can't say I remember how it tastes as I was quite intoxicated at the time. I think I liked it though!

      I must have missed that yesterday, sorry! Scott did make the same tongue in cheek comment on today's show about Rylan. It's a shame Rylan isn't the go to cover for Scott, I assume his commitments away from R2 prevent that. I enjoyed his last cover stint. Spoony is the go to stand in for the mid afternoon slot (he's covering again week after next while Scott's off getting married).   In that case, I think you're right!

      Not that last minute. Scott was talking about it on his own show yesterday, saying he and Rylan have a deal where they cover each other's shows but Rylan only covers Scott when he can be bothered!

      Sorry I should have been clearer, I meant daytime weekday. Weekend shows would count as a 'step up' from overnights for OJ.

      If we're counting the overnight slot, OJ Borg regularly covers weekend shows.

      The only weekday R2 DJ who would ever cover a weekend slot?!

      What I assume is a very last minute change... Scott Mills is in for Rylan today.

      Radio 1 Schedule Changes

      Radio 1 at Parklife will be presented by Vicky and Nat. Nat is currently listed to present her usual Sunday show on that weekend but I imagine that will change and someone else will be doing it instead. The Radio 1 presenters at Download will be Daniel P Carter, Jack Saunders, Alyx Holcombe and Nels Hylton.

      He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard!

      The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.

      I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly.

      Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...

      Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.
