i discovered a fine cachaca shot recipe late night, courtesy of a very amusing brazilian barman...

nice cachaca (not 51)  - nice big slug in a shot glass.

spoonful of runny honey.

one cinnamon stick.

stir with cinnamon stick till all honey has dissolved and then sip...

has some clever brazilian name, but can't remember what it was.

Must raise myself from the dead at 3 am tomorrow for an early flight to Alcudia, Mallorca and the week of all-in loafing. I am taking paper and crayon to compare and contrast. The number of cocktails checked will be governed primarily by the cross-sectional area of my throat, but I will be attempting an hourly sample between lunch and midnight. Family permitting. I shall report back next week.

Time to give this kiss of life.

Anyway,

1 shot of elderflower liquer, current available from waitrose for around £10, half a shot of vodka and stir over ice the finish with some Feniman's rose lemonade.

Elderflower cordial will probably do the same thing taste wise and is also a lot cheaper, although you may need more booze to make up for it.

It's nice in champagne or cava too.
