Plough Inn Tipples
We stopped at the Plough Inn after Hannah's formal photos. Made the mistake of having a strawberry margarita. Yuk. Way to sweet for me. Biggest disappointment was that it was sugar mixed with salt on the rim.
Theatre Tipples
Cause it wouldn't be the theatre if you didn't buy an overprized, not so great, frozen *yuk* cocktail.
BEST margarita EVER.. MargaritaVille Tipples
Gordon Ramsey Tipples
So.. this was at Gordon Ramsey's The Maze and these cost a lot and from memory weren't that great. Too fresh and lite for me. Yep. True.
Worst Margarta Ever.. Cactus Republic tipples
Harry Potter Tipples
Another non alcoholic one, but it deserves it's own post. BUTTERBEER at the Harry Potter Studios in London.
Aperol Tipples
Okay. This is a gross drink. Really. Maddy came back from Europe addicted to Aperol Sprtiz. It's like the bitterest thing you can imagine X by 5. But.. once your tastebuds are numb.. it doesn't taste tooo bad. And at least I sip instead of guzzle.
18th Birthday Tipples
A few of us having pre party tequila shots and party games at the start of Maddy's 18th Beer Garden bash.
Dom Perignon Tipples
Grouch bought me a bottle to celebrate his promotion. Have to say... besides the thousand time more bubbles, it could have been a cheap drop. I didn't appreciate it apart from it's name.
Montezuma Tipples
Now.. I really like Montezuma's food. I am not a fan of frozen margaritas ever, even here. But their shaken ones are lovely!
Jamie Oliver BRISBANE tipples
Really, really delicious cocktail. This was a rosemary and grapefruit Collins.
Grapefruit Smirnoff vodka, fresh rosemary, ginger, Martini Bianco & ginger ale

London Tipples
Pimm's in a can and 1 litre smirnoffs? Okay then
I can't remember what this was.. but remember it was crap.
NOW.. this one is NOT alcoholic but is tepid water straight from the Bath Springs. It's a must do. gag.
The Hyde Park Winter Wonderland markets. Where I discovered just how much I detest mulled wine.
MARGARITA!!!!!!! This was ruined by the heavy salt. I love salt but this had fallen into the glass so the drink itself became salty.
Way to buy your alcohol at the "IGA". Love the plastic glasses with covers

German Tipples
So.. German tippling is all about beer. The Fruhhouse is in Cologne. The full glass is mine. I was sipping slowly. You can drink beer and wine from 14 with your parents. The waiters will continue to swap your glass for a full one until you put the coaster ontop. Which I was quick to do.
I learned in London that I HATE mulled wine.. but I discovered hot chocolate with Bailey's or Ameretto. DELICIOUS. Best part was you can keep the mugs. We have a great collection of various Christmas Market mugs.
Malaysian Tipples
Malaysia is a lot like Thailand.. cheap drinks and food.
MARGARITA!!! Yum. Good one.. even though I think it was sivler tequila.

REALLY excited to find a bottle of reasonably priced Champagne in Asia! I'd missed it dearly.
French Tipples
So France is mostly about wine.. of course. When Madster and I visited Reims in Champagne... Champagne Cuperly was a brilliant little Modern winemaker. Lovely champagne.
We also visited the house of Pommery and it was just.. uppity. Nothing special at all.
Thai Tipples
One of the Best things about Thailand is the dirt cheap drinks (and food.. but that's for a different blog) You can't readily drink the water in Thailand.. but you CAN drink the cocktails and we all know that is much better for your soul anyhow.
Can't remember what these are anymore.. but you know you're in Phuket when you get a boob glass.
MARGARITA!! Yes.. I'm jetlagged in this pic. 5 star restaurant. Beautiful food. Less that $100 for 5 people.. 3 courses and drinks all round all night. Not a bad margarita!
MARGARITA!!! Not really special but one of the best ones ever because of the place. I don't even know where it is. Somewhere in Thailand. We'd done a day trip on the boat and they pulled into this isolated spot for a chill out before going back. Perfect day.
Something else at Windsurfer
Anyone that's been to Phuket knows about the umbrella bar strip. Kids are entertained playing connect 4 with bar staff while we drink. :) Pink Lady
More boob glasses. Sex on the beach.
Another margarita at Chang Mai with a hairy man.
Drinks are even better when you can get them in slurpee cups and keep shopping.
MARGARITA!!! A bit plain and not in a nice glass, but in one of my favourite restaurants in the world. The great food and the beautiful water views make up for it. Cost about $2.50 too.
