Last week we gathered "again" in Iskenders' for a usual, drink, BBQ and catching up with some friends. Food was good as always, we had some tasty nibbles with really good dips from M&S, salads and good sirloin steaks, some butcher's sausages and I made some Koftes for the BBQ. I'll post my Kofte recipe later for you. But I want to concentrate on the drinks today.
We started with really good wines. But I want to tell you more about the afternoon drinks which were the highlights.
Alp's Tequila obsession is still as strong as ever and he only drinks the best. Jose Querva Special was on the table for anyone who wanted to pretend that they were serious drinkers. But I joined the ladies and convinced them that Champagne Cocktails were the drink for a not so warm "British" afternoon. There was a decent bottle of Champagne available but the interesting bottle was the mixer. A blackcurrant liqueur in a really sexy looking bottle in see through clothing. (Check the pictures)
What I made was Kir Royale maybe the most popular Champagne Cocktail - but that Blackcurrant Liqueur in a sexy dress made our drinks special. The colour was an exquisite pink and looked really good in crystal flutes. Here is how you make a Kir Royale.
