Igloo Cocktail

This is one of my favourites, guaranteed after 3 im hammered. add in a few shots, there will be a kebab heaven on the way home! Rev have stopped doing these now the fools! but i have the recipe so ner! this is a good recipe to get mothers/ mother in laws / grans drunk on xmas day, or maybe family are all gin hags! i dont know. During my spell in university doing my psychology degree i worked in a popular chain of cocktail bars in the uk called revolution. i kept all my training materials, and my little laminated ingredient lists that i used to keep in my apron. i thought it was about time i updated them onto recipezaar. There are some revolution classics in this and also some that they dont do anymore at rev. I may be a bit vague on the floating parts of cocktails, i haven’t made them in a while. This may be a good excuse to! the reason why i specify using a glass tumbler to mix the drink in is purely for logistics- creating one drinks worth at a time by measuring it out in the serving glass and serving it in the same glass. its how we used to do it a rev, if your prefer to do it in a cocktail shaker thats fine just beware not to out too much ice in.
