I had a thought this morning (I do have them occasionally!) while I was out with the dog. Mr EB is a big fan of coconut in all its forms - cake, Bounty bars, cookies, yoghurt, ice cream, you get the idea! I am thinking I might buy him a bottle for his birthday (September, so I have time to save) and I might fancy up the list of cocktails, print it on decent paper, put a cover on (palm trees and a tropical beach maybe) and bind it nicely. An extra present that won't cost a lot but hopefully will look quite good.
Got around to christening this at a weekend celebration, delicious! The coconut taste is strong neat ( ) but was very subtle when mixed. I did the cocktail below and everyone loved it.
June Bug
Hurricane Glass/ cocktail glass
25 ml Midori 25 ml Koko Kanu 25 ml Bols – Creme de Bananes 100 ml Pineapple Juice 25 ml Lime Juice 12.5 ml Sugar Syrup
Shake the ingredients vigorously and strain into a hurricane glass. Garnish with pineapple wedge.
I never got to do my present for Mr EB. Unfortunately, a World of Warcraft expansion came out a couple of weeks before his birthday. He really wanted it but couldn't bring himself to spend the money so I offered it as his birthday present which he gratefully accepted. I'd spent ages on the 'book' too. Hey ho, there's always Christmas, Valentine's, Anniversary...............
