Ischia, a green island off the Bay of Naples, is a wonderful place to unwind and appreciate natural beauty (the kind found in trees, mountains, blue skies and seas and the kind found in bikini-clad girls and handsome lotharios).
Go there at least once in your life. But don't tell too many people because I really don't want it turning into another Ibiza.
Anyway, it's in this place I came across the following cocktail. It's called a Blue Angel and don't let the name deceive you - this little beauty led me astray. And I let her.
For cocktail shakers and Tom Cruise-wannabe's here's the ingredients for making one:
- 1 oz brandy
- 1/2 oz blue curacao liqueur
- 1/2 oz vanilla liqueur
- 1/2 oz half-and-half
- 1 dash lemon juice
There are better cocktails out there but this one reminds me of warm beaches, sparkling seas and healthy people loving life. Not bad for a drink.
Enjoy (sensibly). read more
