Christmas Tree 4510 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 As regards the Schooner it's just tradition to top it up maybe in the belief you'll get a better drink. The Dog bit I'm assuming you already know. So a schooner is a half? Just seemed a bit girly this famous "tough" Geordie drink being offered in a half.

Renton 20550 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Honestly, it's completely implausible CT that you grew up in the 80s on Tyneside and could be this ignorant of the regional drink. You absolutely HAVE to be taking the piss. Was my poison of choice back in the day. Five dog and 20 Marlboro was my night out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 20550 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Five ??? Puff. This was as a teenager like, but aye, point taken. Gave up dog because the hangovers are rank. Comes out looking the same way it went in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 15190 Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Still got a bit of a throat on, which is a fine excuse for a spiced rum toddy. And another one. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 4510 Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Are there any specialist places in Newcastle where I might pick up my stuff for my Mai Tai? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 43112 Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Are there any specialist places in Newcastle where I might pick up my stuff for my Mai Tai? Try ringing around some places. Try the supermarkets first - Sainsburys is probably your best bet. It's probably worth trying Rehills cos their booze section is ridiculous. I'm going to the decent off licence over here today so will have a look for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 34235 Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Really starting to develop a liking for Newcastle Brown Ale as well. Bar man asked me if I wanted a half pint glass??? Reckoned it was tradition? Listen to Mr. Working Class there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 4510 Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Can someone just clarify this for me. Bearing in mind its for me etc etc. Instead of Orange Curacao can I use Contreau and Instead of Orgeat syrup can I use Ameretto. (Both available at my local asda) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 41474 Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Cointreau yes. Amaretto no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 20550 Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 (edited) Cocktails are shit, even in hot countries. I've tried the lot and can pretty much vouch they all taste the same - sweet and unpleasant. This is the time of year for a nice quality single malt.

I've been to Florita's in Havana and enjoyed cubre libres and mojitos there. Also enjoyed cocktails in the odd gay bar . It's all about context though. The idea of a Miami themed bar on Newcastle is naff. I'm guessing the trillion dollar remark as made up btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
