I was thinking they may need me to house-sit while they are gone. I could keep a close eye on Don Julio for them! 😉 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare chemmo Posted August 8, 2019 #54 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Next time we drive near Surrey we will visit your bar! Come to think of it, it would be worth a drive to Surrey just to visit your bar! Seriously, thoroughly enjoying you posts. With five weeks left now until we board Equinox we can’t wait! Have packed all my ‘Queen Mother’ ingredients to take to Wales next week (if the rain, gales, thunder, lightning allow...). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare groryjm Posted August 9, 2019 Author #55 Share Posted August 9, 2019 On the penultimate night before cruising my true love made for me a Singapore Sling from the MDR The MDR lists the Singapore Sling from as Tanqueray, Cherry Herring, Benedictine, lime, pineapple, soda and bitters. This is my version…. 30ml Tanqueray 15ml Cherry Herring 15ml Benedictine 10ml lime juice 120ml pineapple juice A splash of soda A dash of Angostura Bitters Shake all bar the soda with ice and serve in a chilled Collins glass with a little ice. Add a splash and garnish with a slice of orange and a Maraschino Cherry. I usually use lemon juice and add Cointreau as well but for this one we’re sticking to Celebrity’s ingredients. 1 days 17 hours 4 mins 🍾🥂🍹🍸🍷 Cases down and nearly packed.... 1 more night then we head for the port. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie123 Posted August 9, 2019 #56 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Totally loving your posts! Have been enjoying them over my nightly vodka tonic. Boarding Equinox on the 17th and you have added to the excitement. bon voyage! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare groryjm Posted August 9, 2019 Author #57 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Now cases are down and packing has been going on all day and I will confess that one sling does not sustain. So I sneaked an extra off menu cocktail that is my current favourite - a Last Word...... This I intend to teach the Barman at Michael's Club to make for me. Unfortunately it is my own private pleasure as DW is not entirely enamoured with it and I usually make her a straight martini with 60ml Tanqueray Rangpur and 40ml Noilly Pratt as an alternative. The last Word is Equal quantities (I usually go for 50ml) Tanqueray Ten, Green Chartreuse, Luxardo Maraschino and Lime juice with a Maraschino Cherry garnish 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare groryjm Posted August 10, 2019 Author #60 Share Posted August 10, 2019 OK it must be five o'clock somewhere....... On the night before cruising my true love made for me a Last Voyage from the Ensemble Lounge The Ensemble Lounge lists the Last Voyage as Beefeater Gin, Aperol, Cointreau, Simple syrup and lime juice. This is my version…. 40ml Tanqueray Export 40ml Aperol 40ml Cointreau 80ml pineapple juice 20ml lime juice 10ml simple syrup Shake with ice and serve in a chilled martini glass. This is our personal favourite and one we discovered on Reflection a few years ago we have it at home on a regular basis with a couple of slight changes. Firstly I am not a fan of Beefeater as I find it a bit harsh and prefer Tanqueray, but more importantly on returning from Civitavecchia and the Reflection we discovered Cointreau Blood Orange and much prefer it with that. Over these past 11 of these little pictures you may have spotted the reducing numbers of X items, but did you work out the significance of the calculators? The final one is our treasured “Fish” made on Celebrity Eclipse a couple of years ago of the Spanish Coast and won by my DW in one of the Hot Glass Show raffle’s. I will now sign off this thread as it’s only a matter of hours until I load the Land Rover for the short run down to Southampton…… I will of course be continuing to record our adventures to Iceland and my obsessive cocktail habit in a “Live from” thread…… “LIVE” Iceland & Ireland on Silhouette - The Suite Life - 11th August 2019 21 hours 49 mins 🍾🥂🍹🍸🍷 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
