Okay... I think this cool digression from another topic deserves a thread of its own.

I am of course referring to our conversation about the 'Lars cocktail'. Lets throw together some ideas of what could go into such a strange imaginary drink and also.. more importantly, lets suggest ideas for a cocktail dedicated to the most awesome ninja in the world!!! Splinter!!! No no... just kidding :wink of course I meant Yoshimitsu.

Right, right...

Well I shall begin my research as soon as I get my next day off from work (by 'research' I mean hitting the cocktail bars of Newcastle on '2 for 1' hour sampling a many combos as I can... all in the name of research you understand.
of course, to recap, Kage as started us off with an idea for a Lars... sounds kinda lethal but..

Kagekiyo:

Bayley + Blue Curacao + vodka + sourpuss = i dont know yet but it must be pretty screw up

I'll try it...

As for Yoshi's cocktail... maybe iced green tea as a base??? Maybe try sake in there somewhere, dunno yet.. I'll get mixing!!

So... any suggestions (the sillier the better) welcome...

Yes! It's a very good idea. I'll do some research in the making of cocktails.

I think since Lars in Swedish we'll use somw Swedish ingredients - Like the alcoholic base.

Well, I'll get busy with this tomorrow. I'm also in on the testing. :wink

NOTE: Please add your ideas for ingredients as follows: solids by grams and liquids by millilitres.

Give any links to cocktails that you like or look cool!

Haha, yeah it's fun I'll start some mixing soon

The taste, the colour and strength are important

In your opinion what taste and colour best matches Yoshi? I think the sophisticated drink should be part-green and part-red/purple (the dual-coloured drinks can be made with some effort). The taste should be sweet but refreshing (so a bit sour at the end (?)). Hmmm... I'll think about it.
