6 eggs (separated) ½ cup of white sugar 3 ounces of rye meal 2 ounces of dark rum 4 ounces of sherry wine 1 pint of whipping cream ½ pint of coffee cream 1 can of evaporated milk Firstly beat the egg yolks and sugar together until it forms a light and fluffy mixture, add the rye, sherry, rum and evaporated milk and continue to mix until even in texture. In a separate bowl beat the egg whites and fold in some more sugar until they stiffen to form peaks. At this stage add the coffee cream and continue to mix. When both bowls are consistent fold together while adding the whipping cream. A very thick traditional festive drink for those long cold winter nights!!! |

1 part chilled advocate 2 parts chilled lemonade Lime juice from ½ a squeezed lime Sugar An old favorite which certainly seems to have more relevance this time of the year! Simply mix the lime, advocate and lemonade together. For the best effect hold back some lime juice and dip the top of the glass in the lime and then into the sugar to create a frosted effect, serve in a champagne saucer. |
