Shake the jar vigorously.
Place the jar back into the hot water, and shake again,
repeating until the creme eggs have completely dissolved.

Sounds Ace, but as a diabetic it’s a big no for me.
I am sure others will enjoy though.

Probably the best use for cream eggs since Cadbury’s got bought by Mondelez, who promptly ruined it.
Mitch – that cocktail recipe is probably illegal and certainly immoral. People will go to Hell just for reading it.

25ml Vodka
25ml Gin
25ml Tequila
25ml Lime Juice
Coke
Mix the alcohols together along with the lime juice. Pour into a glass over ice and top up with coke.
Your Long Island Iced Tea is now ready for a long slow sip!
Mitch – Long Island Iced Tea. Is it just me, or should there be some, er, tea in the recipe? One sip and you wouldn’t care anyway!
I cannot drink alcohol – yup, really boring, I know, it’s down to the drugs I must take. Booze and Tramadol would take me off to Fairyland with no return ticket. I have found that one of the nicest fun-free cocktails is one of the simplest: lime ‘n’ soda: good pile of ice in glass, juice of at least one fresh lime, top up with soda and then chuck in a few bits of fresh mint. Those of you who can consume the falling-down-water could add a dash of favoured spirit. White rum would probably be nice?
i know tharg ive never understood the ice tea bit. yours sounds a bit like the coconut moktail.
i to have almost stopped drinking due to the pills.there is a rum based cocktail that uses lime and soda it will come to me.
its a mojito
50 ml BACARDÍ Carta Blanca Rum
4 to 6 lime wedges
8 to 10 fresh mint leaves
2 tsp caster sugar
25 ml soda water / club soda
Sprig of fresh mintthis is my favourite

The Dark and Stormy cocktail was not born from the windy blackness of London, nor was it created in a barroom catering to the alcoholic needs of woebegone writers. In fact, it has nothing to do with bad literary tropes and gothic language. The Dark and Stormy is a drink that came to be in the Caribbean waters, where rum is plentiful and so are sailors. It’s a drink that was spit out by the sea, more or less. It’s a drink with a really cool name.To make a Dark and Stormy—it has just three ingredients but lots of spice—Gosling’s Black Seal rum is the preferred brand, but really, anything dark and funky will work. Officially speaking, it is frowned upon to liven up your Dark and Stormy with lime juice, but we appreciate a layer of citrus. Just don’t swap in ginger ale for the ginger beer. That would be a crime.
A Little Background
For all its name’s melodrama, the Dark and Stormy’s history is tame. In 1806, an early Gosling family member sailed from England bound for Virginia. He didn’t make it to America—the sea was too still—so the ship headed for the nearest dock instead, which happened to be in Bermuda. There, he used his family background in spirits to create the recipe for Gosling’s aged black rum. On another part of the island after World War I, British naval officers were brewing up ginger beer to combat sea sickness. They swirled the two together in a cup, a sailor allegedly commented it looked “the color of a cloud only a fool or a dead man would sail under,” and the Dark and Stormy was christened. Many things disappear into the Bermuda Triangle. The Dark and Stormy was one thing to come out of it.Mojito oooh! Sounds really good. Sod these bloody drugs. And, seeing that recipe, I realise I forgot one main ingredient – one or two big lumps of lime on top of ice!
Many years ago, I worked backstage in a theatre in West End. At interval time, we’d all decamp to next door pub and consume what were known as “Eight-bob Specials”: large gin; large dry Vermouth; plenty of ice, lump of lime, top up with coke. Name came from price charged – eight shillings, if anyone remembers old, proper money!
Be careful with alcohol. And don’t drink more than 3 cocktails per day. According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, drinking is considered to be in the moderate or low-risk range for women at no more than three drinks in any one day and no more than seven drinks per week. For men, it is no more than four drinks a day and no more than 14 drinks per week. More information about it –https://addictionresource.com/alcohol/treatment/how-to-quit-drinking
we used to drink a sweet stout with a whole raw egg in it. I don’t know why either………
