Non alcoholic cocktails #3
A twofer this time. Part 1: Beetle Bailey Cream 6 parts single (whipping) cream 2 parts Lyres American Malt 1/2 part thin Chocolate syrup (e.g. Monin, or the now discontinued Alchemy Divine) Combine and stir to mix. I am reliably informed that it tastes at least as good as a certain named Irish Cream. Serve as-is or... Part 2: YB35 (because it is 2/3 of a B52) 15 ml Lyres Coffee Liqueur 15 ml Beetle Bailey Cream Pour the Coffee Liqueur into a shot glass or shot martini glass. Gently spoon the Beetle Bailey cream on top so that it forms a distinct layer. The result is rich, slightly sweet, and full of the caramel malt coffee you would hope for in such a drink. As I did not have any orange-based not-spirits to hand, this is where I stopped, hence the YB35. If you were to add a third layer of such, I would then call it a Valkyrie (the XB-70).
Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThat looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteFANTASTIC!!
ReplyDeleteGood to know people still play this out-of-print. This was my X-Wing!
ReplyDeleteIt is not exactly out of print, having been reborn as Wings of Glory
ReplyDeleteI saw two versions yesterday (the guys from http://www.fanen.com/ had them ).
ReplyDeleteIt was both 'Wings of Glory' (ww1) and 'Wings of War' (WW2)
Are the rules like X-wing ?
The minis looked very tempting.
The rules are similar, but you have to plan further ahead in WoG WW1, and there are fewer special action rules. Things get very basic when you are flying in something made of sticks and baling wire :)
ReplyDeletelol ... I've flown some of them in a pc-game (Red Baron).
ReplyDeleteYou're definitely not doing a barrel roll if you want to keep flying.
It still is an interesting era as most of the tactics were invented in those days.
Plus the planes look awesome.
