Watermelon drinks dispenser: www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEyi9_pSZygRecipe: 1/3 of a watermelon juice Cranberry Apple juice Irresponsible amount of Tequila Watermelon Rum (I would probably aim for about half and half juice and spirits giving 20% strength but it's up to your tastes!)

How to make a Margarita:
3 Parts tequila 1 Part triple sec (Eg Cointreau)
2 Parts fresh lime juice
Lime wedge for garnish Salt or sugar to rim the glass (optional)
Method: Mix ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice cubes. Pour into glass. If you don't have a cocktail shaker just put the ingredients in a glass and stir with the ice (Mr Bond won't mind!) Some people prefer 2:1:1 proportions - experiment and see what you like best. Have fun!

Are you having coctails evenings Vern? Sounds like fun I like the Margarita best, mmmm. And I like Bruces mix idea, very handy, not sure about the selection of tubes required though!!

Yes, it turned into a cocktail recipe thread!
So here's another one:
How to make a Daiquiri:
4 Parts White Rum
1 Part freshly squeezed Lime juice
1/2 a Part sugar syrup
Shake everything with crushed ice and strain into a chilled glass.
(optional: frost the glass rim with salt or garnish with lime)
You can make with vodka or gin but the the above is best. If you are stuck for fresh limes and sugar syrup you can use lime cordial but it will taste about 1/10 as good. Sugar syrup can be made by boiling water and pouring in as much sugar as it will absorb then cool and bottle,

Here's one for those with a more sophisticated palate;
Take 5 cocktail glasses.
Fill each one with Doombar or Rusty Bucket.
Tip all 5 into pint glass.
Tip into neckhole.
