aprilcat 0 #1 June 21, 2007 I'm wondering, if you just mixed a drink and liked it, does it have to have a name? I have a weird little combo I like: 3 icecubes 4-6 olives 3/4 orange juice 1/4 (two fingers?) vodka splash of grapefruit juice and a straw is necessary. A bendy straw if possible. I don't think I could get that if I ordered it out, but some friends have had it and liked it, even with olives.~~April Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo!

You sound like fun. A while back I suggested to someone they try grapefruit juice with Captain Morgan. I think that drink was guilty! I haven't heard from the guy since.

skymama 37 #12 June 21, 2007 Yes, surprisingly enough! Just cut up 3 mangos, put them in a quart jar that has a lid and add 2 cups of vodka. Let it sit in a cool, dry place for 2-3 days. Then, just put them in one of those shaker things with ice, shake it up, strain into a glass that's been rimmed with sugar and add a lime for garnish. Very yummy!She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or my straw. not at all, I have seen people screw up a capt nemo before though, because they scored some grapefruits at the supermarket. granted not everyone has a grapefruit tree in the yard, myself included. if the supermarket ones are the only available, then put a bunch of em in a paper bag ontop the fridge for about a week. when nice and ripe, peel em and freeze the wedges individually. add your capt and bluebell, blend smooth, pour and add the brella for effect. happy summertime, good times are imminentif you want a friend feed any animal Perry Farrell Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DougH 270 #21 June 21, 2007 Well when I used to offroad my nick name was Capt. Nemo because I sunk a number of trucks. I thought the drink was fitting. But we don't have grapefruit trees in backyard, nor in CT. I also don't have 10 days to have grapefruit go bad on my fridge, because I wanted to drink this tomorrow.

Do what everyone else up here does--get it from the vegetable stand and sit it in a paper bag overnight or let Tropicana handle it (juice, and pretend you're in the tropics). I still want to know how that icecream works out in the NemoI'm going to try Skymama's Mango Martinis..no blenders involved and the leftover fruit will be very interesting. ~~April Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo!
