Here’s a drink I like, although you need a few other ingredients:
Extra Nutty Irishman:
1 oz Frangelico
1 oz Irish Mist (a liqueur)
1 oz Irish Cream (I use Carolans usually, Baileys is also good)
If you don’t feel like springing for the Irish Mist, you can make
a pretty good drink from just the Frangelico and Irish Cream.

Recipe ingredients and directions:
Nectar syrup (see formulas below)
vanilla ice cream
club soda
Pour and inch of nectar syrup into a tall glass. Add a scoop of vanilla
ice cream and club soda. Stir to mix. Serve with a scoop of ice cream on
top or whipped cream and a cherry. Club soda may be substituted with any
unsweetened carbonated drink or with carbonated water.
NECTAR SYRUP I
3 cups sugar
6 cups water
1 can sweetened condensed milk
4 tablespoons vanilla extract
4 tablespoons almond essence
2 teaspoons red food coloring
Over low heat dissolve sugar and water. Bring to a boil. Cool. Add the
condensed milk, vanilla extract, almond essence and red coloring. Stir
well. Store in refrigerator. Makes about 1-1/2 quart.
NECTAR SYRUP II
3 cups granulated sugar
1-1/2 cups water
1 tablespoon of vanilla extract
2 tablespoon almond extract
1/2 teaspoon red food coloring
Bring sugar and water to a boil over medium heat. Let mixture cook about 8
to 10 seconds. Cool. Add vanilla, almond and coloring. Makes about 1 pint.

Recipe ingredients and directions:
1 bottle cheap red wine
1 aromatic apple (eg Cox)
1 sweet satsuma or mandarin
12 cloves
1 stick cinnamon
nutmeg
sugar
fresh ginger
Pour the wine into a large, non-reactive pot. Fill the bottle again with
water and add it in. Slice the apple and satsuma straight across into
thickish slices (skin and all) and stud the apple slices with cloves,
then chuck ’em in. Throw in the cinnamon stick. Grate in some fresh
nutmeg, and add a few slices of fresh ginger. Heat up the whole shooting
match (do not boil) and leave to burble quietly on the stove. After about
half an hour taste and adjust spices, and add sugar (I usually sprinkle
sugar on to the fruit slices and then stir ’em around, gently). Leave it
sitting on a very low heat to keep warm, and serve continuously all
Christmas! (Keep adding more wine and water, and refreshing spices and
fruit). My sister uses orange juice instead of water to dilute, and it’s
just as good.

cranberry juice, sugar, cinnamon, bitters and allspice. Bring to a
simmer, stirring until sugar dissolves. Reduce heat to very low, cover
and simmer 1 1/2 hours. Strain into punch bowl or crockpot.

Recipe ingredients and directions:
For consumption (40-50 servings)
3 pieces ginger 6 small oranges
1 3" stick of cinnamon 1 gallon apple cider
8 whole cloves 1 quart pineapple juice
3-4 cardamon seeds 1/2 teaspoon salt
6 lemons
Tie spices in cheesecloth. Peel and cut lemons & oranges into thin

Recipe ingredients and directions:
Take equal amounts of Cran-x-berry juice and Apple juice. It can be
Cran-raspberry, Cran-apple, or just plain Cranberry juice; low-cal
varieties work just fine. Cheaper off-brands are fine too.
Pour them in a heavy pot. Add a handful of cinnamon sticks broken into
1-2" pieces and a bunch of cloves (whole cloves). Optionally, add some
citrus rind (i.e., lemon or orange peels). Bring to a low simmer, let it
simmer for an hour or so.
Strain out the cinnamon and cloves (and rinds) — this is important
because if you leave the cloves and cinnamon in, the liquid will get
bitter.
Serve hot. This keeps a long time in the fridge, and can be nuked or
re-heated at will. It’s great with a shot of whiskey/brandy/rum!

Mocha Malted Coffee Cooler
1 cup cold water
3/4 cup cold milk
1/4 cup light cream or whipping cream
3 tablespoons instant chocolate malted milk powder
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon instant coffee crystals
1 cup ice cubes
Whipped cream (optional)
In a blender container combine water, milk, light cream or whipping cream,
instant malted milk powder, sugar and coffee crystals. Cover and blend
until smooth. With blender running, add ice cubes, through hole in lid,
one at a time, blending until crushed. Pour into chilled glasses. If
desired, top with whipped cream.Serve immediately. Makes 4 (6 oz)
servings
NOTE: when I made this, I used regular malted milk powder (has more
malted flavor), and chocolate syrup. I could get it as chocolatey as I
wanted. I also used expresso instead of coffee crystals. Very intense on
all of the flavorings!!

Recipe ingredients and directions:
Makes 4 cups
apporx 1 1/4 pints (750 ml) water
3-4 tsp tea leaves
20-30 spearmint leaves
4 sprigs of mint
Boil the water in the kettle.
Warm the teapot. Put the tea and mint leaves in and add the
boiling water.
Leave it to brew for 2 or 3 minutes.
While brewing, warm tumblers by rinsing in hot water.
Put one sprig of mint in each tumbler.
Pour tea into each tumbler through a strainer. It is normal
to add sugar lumps to the teapot, but it can be added tot the
tumbler to taste after pouring.
Now this is the original Moroccan mint tea recipe. I drink an awful
lot of tea, lemon or mint, and this is my quick mint tea version:
Make tea as you do normally; cut some sprigs of mint from the
plant in the pot on the balcony, rinse under the tap, put into
a big mug, pour tea into mug: enjoy!
Hope I’ve been of help!

Recipe ingredients and directions:
1 1/4 cups fresh mint leaves, slightly packed (measured after washing)
3 cups vodka
2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup water (be sure to use distilled unless your tap water is very pure)
1 teaspoon glycerine
8 drops green food coloring
2 drops blue food coloring
Wash leaves in cold water. Shake or pat dry gently with paper
towels. Snip each leaf in half or thirds, discard the stems.
Measure cut mint leaves, packing slightly.
Combine mint leaves and vodka in aging container (large ceramic
crocks or glass jugs work well for this purpose). Cap and let
stand in a cool place for 2 weeks, shaking occasionally.
After initial aging, pour liqueur through a colander into a large
bowl to remove leaves. Discard leaves.
In a saucepan, combine sugar and water. Bring to a boil, stirring
constantly. Let cool. Add cooled sugar syrup to mint liqueur
base, stirring to combine. Add glycerine and food coloring; pour
into aging continer for secondary aging of 1 to three more months
(my experience is that most herbal or fruit liqueurs hit their
prime flavor after nearly a year of aging time, but taste periodically
to check progress). Makes approximately 1 quart.
Variation: If you like a slightly heavier emphasis on the mint,
adjust to taste by adding drops of mint extract (up to one teaspoon)
to the liqueur.

You can use a highball glass for this drink, but if you do, it
won’t frost. Traditionally, a silver julep cup is used.

Fill halfway with crushed ice, add 1 1/2 jiggers of bourbon. Don’t
stir. Fill rest of the way with crushed ice. Stick it in the
freezer until the glass frosts. Garnish with mint sprigs and a
straw.

10 ounces maraschino cherries — including liquid
10 cloves
1 stick cinnamon
1 teaspoon anise seed — crushed
1/4 teaspoon cardamom seeds — crushed
1 cup apple cider
1 cup sugar
8 cups water
3/4 cup instant coffee
3 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 cup brandy — 90% proof
Combine all the ingredients down to and including the 1 cup of
sugar in a large punch bowl. Cover with a loose lid and set it
aside in a warm place to ferment for 3-4 days, stirring occasionally.
(If fermentation takes place before the time to use it, refrigerate
it. If fermentation has not taken place by the time to serve it,
don’t worry – just use it as it is.) Pull the fruit and spices to
the center of the bowl.
Bring the water and powdered coffee to the boil and simmer for 5
minutes or until full-bodied.
Pour the coffee around the base of the fruit and spices and place
the bowl over a small flame or gentle heat.
In each demitasse cup put a teaspoon of sugar and 1-2 teaspoons of
heated brandy. (To heat the brandy, put the quantity needed into
a tiny saucepan or soup ladle and heat it over a gas flame. Be
careful not to ignite it.)
Pour 4 tablespoons of heated brandy over the fruits and spices in
the bowl, taking care not to mix the brandy into the liquid or it
won’t ignite. Ignite the brandy in the demitasse cups and serve
the drink to guests while your partner is igniting the punch bowl.
Turn out the lights and try to serve the ignited cafe flambe while
it is flaming.
