Oranginess
Something else that I love about October is the colours – the red, yellow, brown and total oranginess of October is awesome. The whole feel of it makes you want to start preparing to settle in and get snugly without yet the cold and wetness of the winter. Great
October days are when its brilliant sunshine and yet slightly chilly and you breathe in deep and get the impression you are giving your lungs an airing (autumn cleaning?). Of course the downside to this time of year is the likelihood of catching a cold or even flu! I guess it’s because of this that my shopping seems to turn all orangey also. Suddenly, without thinking, I am buying cartons and cartons of fresh orange juice, bags of oranges, satsumas, clementines, and tangerines – even Jaffa cakes! Bring on the vitamin C. Halloween prompts pumpkin purchases (although this year my Aunt and Uncle have kindly produced a mahoosive pumpkin from their allotment for me so I wont need to buy – thank you kindly x) and many ‘special Halloween edition’ products. The chill in the air brings on the need for hot snacks instead of a sandwich – like beans on toast or vegetable soup – orange, orange, orange! Inside and outside – October is deliciously Orange.
Something new
Speaking of orange…..a couple of weeks ago during a family get together my brothe
r introduced us to the world of Jägermeister – primarily by way of Jäger-bombs (shots of Jägermeister dropped into a glass of Red Bull). Nice. I’d heard of the drink before, there was a huge sponsorship area at Download Festival a couple of years back where we acquired many orange bandanas, lanyards and also little plastic tubs containing orange ear plugs, but I’d never tried it (or the ear plugs). So I did…and I liked! (just the drink, not the plugs). Now I want to try different variations and so I’ve been taking a stroll around their website and the net in general and preparing my list ready for the next gathering of our clan.
Here’s a few of what I have so far….
Jägerpirinha - Jägermeister, crushed ice, sugar, fruits of the forest, lime.
Jäger Fizz - Jägermeister, lemon juice, sugar syrup, soda water
Jäger Orange (of course!) - Jägermeister, orange juice, ice
BullNut - Jägermeister, Red Bull, coconut syrup, crushed ice
Dogmen’s Revenge - Jägermeister, peach schnapps, raspberry juice
Wild Woman - Jägermeister, Malibu, pineapple juice
BoomBassTic - Jägermeister, orange juice, cherry juice
Loch Ness Monster - Jägermeister, baileys, melon liqueur
Halloween (yay!!) - Jägermeister, peppermint, schnapps, coke & ice
Golden Raspberry - Jägermeister, vodka, tequila, raspberry juice grenadine
Jägermeister on Mars - Jägermeister, orange juice, blue curacao, grenadine, ice.
Redheaded Slut - Jägermeister, peach schnapps, cranberry juice
Lindsay Lohan - as above but with a splash of coke (!!!!! naughty !!!!)
