HELP, has anyone ever tried a drink called North Sea Oil; a liquorice equivalent of Pernot, Norwegian I think, a very powerful drink that looks like black oil and even leaves a slick in your glass. I'm trying to source it as a thank you to a mechanic friend.

Looking again for the after dinner coffee served at Garozzo's. Saw that it had been requested some time ago and wondered if you had any more information on it. It is absolutely wonderful. Somewhere I read that it is called Christmas in a Cup. Our waiter (in Wichita, KS) said that it had cinnamon sticks (sachet) and 3 liqueurs in it, but would give no more info. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Also, where do I find your book?

Look up
1.Kahlua (most popular) Mexico
2. Tia Maria (2nd most popular) Jamaica
3. Kamora (cheap stuff people use to save money)
4. Starbucks/Jim Beam Coffee liqueur (brand new American made)

Hope this helps
Stephen K. Cunningham

I am a student at the Art Institute of New York City. I was wondering if anyone was willing to give me any good recipes or ideas that I may use with the following indredients-

Strawberries
Curacao
Almonds
Cinnamon
You can add anything else on to it if you like

If you come up with anything please email me at Latrice1686@Yahoo.com

Stephen,
Thanks for all your help. This certainly gives me more to go on than what I had. Sounds like I'll have several recipes to delight my family.

Dear Adrienne

I was just at Garozzo's website, It looks like a really nice place, and I did see the celebs pictures.

Double Decaf usually refers to a double serving of decaf espresso, which you don't usually put nutmeg
or cinnamon in, but if you put steamed milk on top of the espresso you now have a Latte or a Cappuccino
which always has nutmeg or cinnamon or shaved chocolate or a combination of the three.
This is the most popular after dinner drink in Italy as well as France. You could have been served this plain with no alcohol or laced with just a touch of 7 or 8 different liqueurs.
The only way to be sure is to get the bartender alone and ask him or her, usually a couple of dollar tip and a kind approach will get a recipe out of a bartender. If you want say you want to share the recipe with your friend Steve that wrote the black book.

Here are some delicious after dinner drinks from my recipe book you can serve to your guests. Prior to making them heat your glasses or mugs in the microwave or by pouring in hot water for a minute.

B-52 Coffee
Keoke Coffee
Milano Coffee
Venetian Coffee

And if you find out exactly what you had please send me a note.

Stephen

Kansas City, MO...Garozzo's Ristorante-excellent food. Authentic Italian food-I'm no connoisseur but I know there is a Hollywood celeb that frequents the place when in town.
The drink was served hot in a wine glass and I could not taste a bit of alcohol. I asked for the recipe but the waiter insisted it was secret. He said it was double decaf (what's that?) that was boiled with a sachet of cinnamon and nutmeg. I'm thinking Bailey's Irish Cream..any similar creamy liquer and maybe a coffee liquer (Kahlua?) or hazelnut? Sorry to be so vague but I don't even drink alcohol so I'm not sure of the options. I live in St. Joseph, MO (50 miles north of KC) and there are not a lot of gourmet options here. I can't even find a decent selection of liquers around here. If I can't decipher this, how about a different but similar recipe that I can share with my family at the holidays?

Dear Adrienne

I am sorry you took my baffled reply as rude. I figured you were someone I knew playing with me.

There are hundreds of traditional Italian after dinner drinks as well as hundreds of variations to those.

Was it an American Italian restaurant? Chicago? Boston? or Were you in Italy? Northern Italy?
Southern Italy?


Know that you have me curious what was the name of the restuarant? and location?

Mr. Cunningham, there's no need to be rude. I wondered if there was a standard Italian after dinner drink, that's all. It had a mulling spices flavor (hence the nutmeg and cinnamon) and it looked like it had cream in it. Maybe a hint of cocoa. If I recognized more flavors I could pinpoint more ingredients myself.

You have to have more to go on than 3 liqueurs. Was there Liquorice flavor? orange? chocolate? vanilla?
honey? lemon? hazelnut? almond? Strawberry? Raspberry? Peppermint? Currant? Melon?

You can't seriously expect me to know or even guess what you were drinking.
This must be a joke.

My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful "cafe" drink after dinner at our favorite Italian restaurant but the waiter would not give us the "secret" recipe. He did say that it was double decaf with a sachet of cinnamon and nutmeg and 3 liquers (which he wouldn't mention). Any ideas what this was?

Here is a drink recipe for everyone.
MISSISSIPI MUD COFFEE
1/2oz Coffee Liqueur(kahlua)
1/2oz Hazelnut Liqueur(frangelico)
1/2oz Triple Sec
1/2oz Rum
Fill with hot black coffee.
Top with whipped cream
Sprinkle with shaved chocolate.

Darleen I have 3 solutions to your dilema:
1. Keep your martini pitcher in the fridge.
2. Keep your martini pitcher on ice(like a wine bucket,or sink).
3. Keep your martini pitcher in the freezer, but be warry of your concoction freezing, and be warry of your pitcher cracking.

I'm looking for a way to keep martini's mixed in a pitcher 'cold' without putting ice directly in the mix where it will melt and dilute the drink
Ideas ???

One of my favorites is making Vietnamese coffee. It consists of three ingredients: ice, espresso, and evaporated milk. This recipe is for two people, or one person with a large bladder. I prefer http://www.illyusa.com/homepage.asp coffees, but that is up to you. Pour half a can of evaporated milk into a tall glass. Then add ice to the top of the glass. Brew one or two shots of espresso (per person) to your taste, then add the coffee to the iced milk. Stir with a tall spoon and drink up.

A slight variation of this is to add a shot of coffee liquer to the glass...the taste is richer...and hey...it has alcohol.

If you want just a straight glass of iced coffee...one nice step is to always have ice cubes made from coffee in the freezer. This way it doesn't dilute the coffee as you drink it. You can also make an iced coffee smoothie with a splash of milk, three scoops of real vanilla ice cream, two shots of espresso (chilled), a teaspoon of ground espresso beans, and a tablespoon of malted milk. Garnish it with whole coffee beans on the top. Add unsweetened cocoa for mocha if you like. Who says you have to grow up all the way?

yeah I need iced coffee recipes right about now.

Cranberry juice, sprite, and vodka mixed together tastes really good

And I didn't even include my iced coffee recipes.

dude.

domestic much?

Two fantastic summer drinks include:

Maxim's Iced Tea
Check out the gourmet food stores (or visit Paris) and pick up a package of tea from Maxim's De Paris (apricot, apple, or mixed fruit). Their teas are some of the best blends I've tasted. Place several tablespoons of tea in a kitchen strainer. Take a half gallon pitcher and place a few leaves of mint and lemon balm into the bottom of the pitcher. Boil a regular teapot of filtered or bottled hot water (I prefer using Fiji bottled water) and pour the water very slowly over the strainer, into the pitcher. When done, use a spoon to squeeze any last bit of tea out. Then fill the remainder of the pitcher with cold bottled water. Do not drink the tea immediately. Let the tea sit in the fridge for two days before drinking. By the second day the tea should be a dark amber color...and the flavor is fantastic. So rich and smooth...no sugar necessary.

My other favorite drink is chilled sake. Great for dinner parties. You can get a good bottle for about $8. Place it in the fridge and chill the bottle a few hours before use. When cold, pour three or four shots of sake into a mixed drink shaker with four ice cubes. Then pour in a tablespoon of black currant juice into the shaker. Shake about 10 seconds and strain into a martini glass. I pre-chill the sake to keep the ice cubes from melting too fast and diluting the sake. What I love about this is the black current isn't too sweet and adds a really cool colored effect to the sake. If you want to garnish it, add one or two frozen blackberries.

what are your favorite drink recipes?
