Nanna’s Knickers

July 7, 2011 by Abby 4 Comments

cocktail

I love the saucy names they give cocktails, they’re so tongue-in-cheek. The name for this cocktail is inspired by people describing the flavour of Musk Sticks as like ‘old ladies perfume’.

If you haven’t made any Musk Vodka, then it’d still be nice with plain Vodka, but then I guess it needs a different name… Not Your Nana’s Knickers?

Nana’s Knickers
serves 1

1.5 shots Musk Vodka
2 shots Cranberry Juice
1.5 shots Apricot Nectar

Shake in a cocktail shaker with ice and pour into a martini glass. Garnish with a Musk Stick.

I like to use the Musk Stick as a dipper and suck the cocktail off it…yum.

    Ahhh YUMMO! Love the name. You’ll need to create something really fantastic and call it “Knickers in a knot”. 😉

    This is excellent – I’n making the musk stick vodka now – can’t wait till we can make this cocktail. Had to buy the musk sticks (Home Brand) from the Australia shop here in London especially! Most expensive home brand musk sticks in the universe!

    MMm… looks good except for the musk sticks! You are right, us North Americans just don’t understand them. I suppose I could get used to them though, but now no where to buy them in Canada. We have a huge source of flavoured vodka here like cupcake, fruit loops, caramel, and every fruit and berry you can dream of so… I might just substitute! Janelle

Secret pyjamas! My dress for this year's @sew_melb Secret pyjamas! My dress for this year's @sew_melbourne garden party was the Charlie Caftan by @closetcorepatterns. I shortened it at the shoulders by an inch and think I shortened it at the bottom too. I altered the pockets so they attach into the waist panel, because I hate when in-seam pockets flap about and pull at the side seams. The side slits are a double turn narrow hem as the overlock and turn as suggested in the pattern looked puckered. The fabric is a Cotton + Steel rayon by Masaru Suzuki, which is a dream to sew with. I've made another dress in the red colour way.

Give them a minute to cool if you can lest you burn your mouth.

Instead of finishing the brim edge with bias, I did the usual RST stitch, fold and top stitch. That means the brim is a little shorter than the pattern. I wanted to keep the hat lightweight, so it's unlined and has only the two layers of canvas fabric for the brim. The cotton canvas is a vintage fabric from my stash, which originally cost 15 shillings and 9 pence (I think) per yard.
