Coop Summer Sips

A week or so ago I got an email from Coop inviting me to join a virtual cocktail making class through zoom. I subscribe to coop for deals and special events. I decided why not. It’s a Thursday, but the clincher was the elderflower liqueur ingredient. So tonight was thew night. it started at 7 and went until around 8.30. the ere were 4 recipes on the list and i got the ingredients. simon joined m. the 3 that we made were the ;peach mint julep, the strawberry lemonade mojito,. and the elderflower one. I don’t like campari, so we didn’t make that one. I preepped a lot before then and did some shopping for it. it was a lot of fun. there was no sound at first, but then that was fixed. We started wayth the julep because it had to soak for 15 minutes. we moved onto the mojito which is not simon’s favourite because he doesn’t like the herbal mint flavour. After that we went back k to the julep and finished making it. Thwe last one we did was the elderflower one which was really excellent,lent. I knew it would be be aus ei love elderflower. The surprising one was the julep. I donor’ like them much. but this peach one was good. Simon also chopped some cheed and meat and crackers for us to try sn counter the booze. It was great!~ There was a bonus recipe of iced coffee with baileys and I think i might try that one. The elderflower was the best and the julep was second best. I like my mojitos sweeter and Iuse malibu instead of plain white rum. I hop[e they do more of these. I don’t get hosed often but right now i can’t feel my findgers or legs.

Update

Surprisingly we didn’t have a hang over this morning. I guess the thunder storm at 1.30 this morning shook it out of us. I won’t say that I don’t feel tired and was a little stiff getting out of bed, but no headache.

I’m attaching the recipes for the cocktails here. We didn’t attempt the Tequila Fresca one, but we might in the future (without Campari).
