Jug of Danger (a.k.a. Pimms Cocktails)



Last night was one of those nights where you totally don’t plan on having a big night, and the next thing you know it’s midnight and you’re eating Macdonalds in the back of a taxi wondering why the road is spinning.

That said, the jugs of Cocktails at Madame Brusells were refreshingly, deliciously, amazing. We started with a jug of Pimms and though I can’t remember what else followed, my iphone pictures tell me that the colours of the liquid delights were every shade of rainbow.
My thumping head this morning tells me that I defenitely sampled the entire menu.

I hope you enjoy this one as much as I did!

Apologies also for the delay (I know I should have posted this last night) but I was in no state to be working the tools palette in Adobe Illustrator, and then today was a whirlwind of waking up early, flying across the country and then working my day job. I promise to do a double-post tommorow to make up for it.

The Cocktail with No Name (Bar None, Melbourne)


Apologies for the poor image quality, the iphone 3GS camera is no DSLR.

It’s Saturday night (well… technically it’s Sunday morning, but at this time of the day that’s really an insignificant detail) and I’ve been out. I didn’t really eat much tonight so I figured you might like a recipic of the signature cocktail that I tried at Bar None

It took everything I had to get the secret recipe from the bar (well… it was more like me rambling on about a blog, Pon waving around his iphone saying “It really exists… see isn’t it cool? SEE?!” and Chris throwing in a little quip about it being mentioned in the New York Times.) But they gladly shared the recipe!

The cocktail waiter assured me that this is their most popular drink, and I have to say that it lived up to the hype. As one of my drinking compadres said tonight “On a scale of 1-10, this drink definitely rates at 100%, and you can quote me on that”.
