Rea Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I'm hoping someone can help, because this is driving me mad... I was drinking cocktails yesterday and I'm certain there is a line in a film, possibly James Bond? where the man says... 'and a daiquiri for the lady'. My friend didnt know what I was on about and neither did the bar man. So help, please, because my friend thinks I dreamt it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnyday Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I'm happy to confirm that you are not mad and you have not been dreaming right now I just have to think which film....... :unsure: I'll be back! :1b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyMaz Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Ooh! Cocktails! I have been challenged to drink 50 different cocktails before I'm 50. Are you a connoisseur, Rea? What can you recommend? I've had six so far... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froglet Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Ooh! Cocktails! I have been challenged to drink 50 different cocktails before I'm 50. Are you a connoisseur, Rea? What can you recommend? I've had six so far... Please tell me your birthday's not tomorrow! :blink: Can't help on the film question but the Hummingbird Bakery 'Cake Days' recipe book has Strawberry Daiquiri cup cakes in it!

Rea Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 Its hard to say Maz, some places make up their own. A champagne Fru Fru is lovely, Angels Treat, daiquiri, lemon meringue, manhatten, one with parma violets...cant really remember many more. They often seem a strange combination but if you go to a really good place they really do taste wonderful. You need to go where they use fresh fruit juices and enjoy what they do. The lemon meringue was real egg white whisked in front of us and layered onto whatever the drink was. I hated the martini, the only good thing about it was the olive. Its a wonderful way to while away a day and night :wacko: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Oooo cocktails, now here is a good distraction from school work!! My hubby makes a good cocktail or three!! You need to have a Cosmopolitan; the best ones are made when the bar person flames the piece of orange peel over the finished drink. A 'Fuzzy Navel', a 'Woo Woo' or a 'Seeing Red', all good if you like peach schnapps. Then there's the Sea Breeze, which is nice and tangy. My hubby's fave is a Long Island Iced Tea, but my personal go to cocktail of choice is a mojito, gorgeous as a standard one and the raspberry version is yummy too!

Devondaisy Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Ahh Laila I'm with you!! Mohito is my favourite - had some fab ones on holiday in Costa Rica - fresh limes and sugar crushed, with ice and Argentinian rum over the top - yum!! (But lethal.) My boys loved the virgin stawberry daiquiries. Had a woo woo last week too, very nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garrison Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Is it not from the film cocktail?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rea Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 I've never watched the film Rachael, so probably not, but maybe saw a clip? Dont think it was that though :huh: Mojito! Fabulous, I'd forgotten that one. Molotov cocktail too. That was served in an old coke bottle with a napkin shoved in the top. Blue Lagoon was the parma violet one.

sunnyday Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Is it not from the film cocktail?? Don't think so - I'm not sure that it's a Bond Movie either.........I'm thinking something much older - have just asked Mr S he remembers the line but not the film - fat lot of use he is!

Panders Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 as this cocktail hails from Havana, Cuba I googled the films made there, and this is what came up, which I thought you may have seen. Goldeneye, Die another day, Guys and Dolls and Our Man in Havana. Any good? Perhaps Mr.S can be prevailed upon to steam clean the little grey cells this evening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rea Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 Seen all of those I think. I'm veering towards maybe Frank Sinatra, Spencer Tracy, Humphrey Bogart, Gregory Peck type people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 After much Googling I kept coming across links to Casablanca but I can't tie it down to that. A good procrastination activity though - thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rea Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 I keep getting a reference to Airplane and bombing daiquiri at 18.00 hrs. Is it To have and have not, Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall? Its based on a Hemingway novel and he's credited with inventing the Daiquiri while he was living in Cuba. I'm learning as we go... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inge Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 If you want to check the film Rea.. here is the full script... may take a while! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rea Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 Oh my god Inge. D'you know what? I 'm tempted :blink: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rea Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 Temptation won. I've scanned through but not seen any daiquiri, but I found a web site that focused on the drinks in movies and Lauren Bacall drinks a daiquiri in to Have and have not, so maybe I missed it.

Rea Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 Without the internet I'd have put the washing out, got myself ready for the day and cleaned the kitchen from last nights supper. Instead I'm googling daiquiri. Must. Stop. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
