Cocktail experience

[kerry b]

Going to a cocktail making afternoon for my friends birthday and was looking for some ideas on what to make. I cant drink vodka (makes me violently ill) and I dont like gin or tequila. I dont really like baccardi but would drink it in a cocktail. I would normally have pina coladas (ultimate bliss) but want to stay away from creamy things. I have a very sweet tooth and would normally drink tia maria or baileys (pre sw of course).

We get to make 3 cocktails so what would you suggest?

Strawberry daiquiri luuuuuuuuuuuuuush!

Mojitos are popular (never had one but sounds ok)

Pimms

Anything cherry for me!

Mojitos would be my shout. Bacardi, lime, mint, soda water, plus some brown sugar usually - could use sweetner so no syns except the bacardi!!

What about cocktails based around blue curacao (citrus liquer) or passoa (passionfruit liquer)? They're lovely and sweet and not vodka based drinks. There's a list of cocktails at the address below, split into the different alcohol types:

Amaretto also makes a nice base to cocktails, as does Midori (a melon liqueur - very refreshing).
