Nuts and nut products was the theme this last Thursday Drink Night - Castries, Frangelico, macadamia nut liqueur, orgeat, nocino, etc. Much to my dismay, none of these recipes look ‘nuts’; they all look pretty good! The prize for best drink is your very own bottle of Castries Peanut Rum Creme Liqueur.
[EDIT 2/1/10: This weeks theme will be TDN: Bubbles. Break out your Champagne, ginger beer, soda, tonic, cola, or anything else fizzy and mix original cocktails with us on Thursday Night!]
