Mike did smile a lot too, TN, but we were left in no doubt that, when it came to cocktails, here was a master at work!

The grapefruit julep is soooooo pretty! I’ve never managed to taste vodka straight so I’m the last person who could comment on its flavors but in mixed drinks – I’m so there. Mike looks quite serious in the midst of martini-making . . . !

Angry Brit: of course you can walk around with a martini glass of any more or less colourless liquid and who would be any the wiser, eh?

The Chickenless Chick: Welcome & thanks for dropping in! I reckon the grapefruit julep would indeed be a great way of using local grapefruit when they come on the scene.

GrilledShane: Maybe you should move to Ireland :) Meanwhile, glad I could help with the vodka basics.

Natasha: it was pretty cool I have to say, a most enjoyable class

sippitysup: stirrer, mover, shaker and lots more besides!

Sophie: glad you like it :)

I have always been a stirrer not a shaker. Which has not stopped me from becoming a mover and a shaker! GREG

Where do I sign up to do all these fun things? Maybe I need to devote a few more days to my blog…or just move to Ireland.

I am not much of a liquor drinker, so previously, I knew nothing about vodka. Now, thanks to you, I at least know the basics. It is much appreciated.

Going to have to keep this in mind for the coming winter. Can’t wait for grapefruit season here in FL!
