I've been a bad, bad Vegan MoBo blogger.Considering I'm the only one though however and that I never stated I'd post every single day, I think it's allowed.
The reason I've not blogged recently is simple: I've been lazy. That and that the post I planned to do went wrong, horribly wrong.
A few weeks ago I made up a gorgeous shot using creme de menthe, cream, chocolate syrup, irish whisky and kahlua. Cleverly I snapped a picture on my iPhone for twitter and wrote down the ingredients, but not the measurements.
When I came to recreate it on Sunday I found that I just couldn't get the quantities right, and my attempts really didn't taste good at all - too alcoholic, too creamy, too sweet etc. I fundamentally don't agree with blogging / posting a recipe which really doesn't work - there are way too many crap recipes on the internet already.
It's 12.43am and I should really be in bed, but procrastination has allowed me to revisit the concept and I'm pleased to announce that this time it worked. Therefore I'm writing it down this time!
Ingredients (serves 2):
- 1 shot Irish Whisky
- 2 shots Fresh Soya Cream
- 1/2 shot Chocolate Syrup
- 1/2 shot Creme de Menthe
- 1/2 shot Kahlua
- Squirty Cream
- Grated Chocolate (optional)
Drink in 2-3 gulps, attempting to drink half the cream with each, mixing in your mouth before swallowing.
It's kind of like a mint version of the baileys recipe I posted last November (my blog is almost a year old!) and kind of not. I know that Baileys now sell a mint version, but it came out after I turned vegan so I've never tried it and can't comment on simularity.
OMIGOD YUM. I have a friend over from London this week and guess what we're going to crack into.
