A bit lazy tonight to make a complicated drink.
Ingredients
15ml Kahlua, 30ml vodka, ice cubes as desired.
Pour the Kahlua and vodka over the ice cubes in a decent size old fashioned glass (I prefer the brandy glass). Wala! Black Russian. There is another variation drink using Tequila, called Brave Bull (a composite of 45ml Kahlua and 30ml Tequila).

Car shopping and dim sum at Geylang with my best pals.
Family decided to try out the buffet dinner spread at Aquamarine, Marina Mandarin Hotel. UOB cardholders promotion: 1 person free for every three paying adults at $49++ per head. The food is not bad although I think "The Line" at Shangrila Hotel is much better. However, the ambience is defintely a plus point for me to return back to the restaurant. My ratings for the restaurnat are as follows:
Ambience 8/10
Buffet 7/10
Service 7/10
Dinning Experince 7.5/10
Price Acceptable.
Top Row (L to R): Me attacking the chocolate fountain, No. 2 enjoying her chocolate laced berries stick, Me and No.2 helping ourselves to fresh NZ oysters.
Bottom Row (L to R): No. 3 at the fruits pantry, Expensive Lime juice at $7 per glass, Appetizers the best so far.
This is my first entry of my cocktail series, of which I will share my cocktail recipes. Caiprinha (pronounced "Kie-pee-REEN-Yah"), is a brazilian drink and defintely one of my favourites.
Ingredients
30 ml Cachaca (sugar cane based), 2 large limes sliced into mini wedges, 30 ml lime juice, 1 tsp of granulated brown sugar, 5 mint leaves, 4 ice cubes
Muddle the lime wedges, mint leaves and raw sugar in a non-breakable old fashioned glass. Add in the ice, alcohol and top it up with lime I prefer Australian limes rather than Malayisan limes, although the latter is much cheaper. Australian limes have more citrius oil in their skin :).Most books also advocate crushed ice but I prefer ice cubes as it doesnt dilute the drink..duh. Stir it gently and garnish if desired. Cheers.
