Cocktails at the Cape !!

[McGirr]

As mentioned we will be having a cocktail night on the second night at the Seisa caravan park in one of the huts we will be occupying. There will be streamers and flashing lights and it will be a Hawian theme so dress up with Hawian shirts and grass skirts !!!

We will have blenders, ice etc. So start deciding what your favorite cocktail is and bring your ingredients. There is a supermarket at Seisa but may be limited to what you need.

I will be doing my deadly pina colada cocktail so be prepared.

And on the last trip he had to consult with Mr. XXXX at every crossing just to be sure he was guiding us all in the right direction and not leading us the astray...

[Burnsy]

Not that we can be there but............................

Mojito's! Mohito's! Yum!

Pronouced MOW-HEE-TOW

A refreshing sparkling drink originally from Cuba, great for mid day, after work, clubbing, afterhours, or whenever that drinking mood strikes.... AND fun to make, impressive to serve to your friends and guests.

For EACH drink place into a cocktail shaker:
•1 sprig of fresh mint leaves from your garden or local market, removed from their stems (don't use dried, but frozen fresh is okay)
•1/2 a fresh lime squeezed
•1 tablespoon or more of table sugar or bar sugar (start with one and increase to taste as needed later, don't skip the sugar, it's important to the taste)

Crush these three ingredients in the bottom of the shaker using a wooden muddler (see picture) to release the mint essence from the leaves into the sugar and lime juice

•pour 1 or 2 shots (per drink) of white rum (or citrus rum!) over ice
Cover shaker and shake vigorously and dramatically in front of your guests
•pour into tall Tom Collins glass filled with ice cubes, or better yet one of several Mojito glasses or sets available from AlwaysHappyHour.com
•Do not strain the mixture from the shaker, allow the crushed mint leaves to go into the serving glass as well, that's part of the look and taste!
•Fill the glass with sparking water, seltzer, or club soda and stir with a long spoon or cocktail mixing stick
•Garnish with a fresh mint leave floating on top and serve with a tall drinking straw

I am now at the stage of organizing the cocktail night!!

There will be ice at Seisa but I would suggest bring large plastic cups as they are Easy to travel and pack for the cocktails.

I will have vodka for the vodka sunrises ( yes I know not a cocktail but nice) and the granadine.

I will also be making piña coladas and will be bringing my blender.

I would need at least another 2 blenders so if any one else can fit one in that would be great.

My other list includes:

Streamers

Flashing lights

And the brightest most colorful Hawaiian shirt.

So bring your spirits, mixers and shirts as it will be a great night watching the sunset over the water.

I may even bring a beach boys cd!!!

Gee McGirr it is a pitty that Yogi isn't going on the Cape trip this year as with his new light setup all your flashing lights requirements for 'Cocktaila at the Cape' would have been sorted.  Even Johnny Trackabout has seen a sneak preview whilst we were on Fraser after Christmas.

Maybe we should have some sort of prize for the best dressed, lady, gent and overall. As well as for the best cocktail.

I've got a few sets of flashing lights (outdoor christmas varity)  I can bring if needed.

[rodsswag]

Would some lights like this be good?

Rod you bet. You will be surprised what camping in the bush at the Cape does to people.

Mark

[McGirr]

I hope everyone is getting their cocktail clothes ready.

I know JK has a special surprise for us. 

I may have to drop in to jaycar for some more special lighting.

Remember there will be special prizes for the:
