fresh pineapple(break into a blender jug)
teaspoon of honey per ring
enough ordinary gin to cover fruit(roughly equal volumes)
blend until a frothy smoothie(i use an industrial stick blender on 2/3 top speed)
simple, quick and amazingly nice, it will be around 20% vol so a cocktail rather than a grog
for pretty and an extra touch i recon a couple of palma violets or other edible flowers would be a nice dressing
i will be back and update this once i have played with "hot and spicy" as a minor tweak but the basic was quite a pleasing surprise inspired by a SPAR loss leader on pineapples(75p for a ripe big un is hard to resist)
kit= blender, i use a pro stick blender, others may work but it is crank it to 11
mango flesh 1
crystalized ginger 1/4
cover it in gin
blend it to a frothy pulp
simple and yum

I might have to try this one when we finally get to Portugal... although I imagine it would also work with with tequila plus a dash of freshly squeezed lime juice...

i will get the details, a fallen comrade devised a tequila, coriander and lime blend(there may be a few trace ingredients)
shot glass size, oddly wonderful
tequila is ok but not my under the volcano thing
the above green slime is ace

Almost all tequila here is actually best served fast in shots with lime and salt. But over there, there are many grades and vintages and subtleties, in line with whisky.
I’m entirely happy with the salt and citrus version tho. And it picked watermelon wonderfully.
