Amaro Lucano and Coke

Everybody is aware of the existance of Jack and Coke. Simple and amazing cocktail isn't it?
But I've found a way to make it even better. By not using Jack Daniels.



What you shall need

Amaro Lucano
Coke
Ice
Old Fashioned Glass

How to 

Fill glass with ice. Pour Amaro Lucano into glass. Fill with desired level of coke. Drink.


This is a seriously amazing drink. For some reason the bitter taste of Amaro Lucano combines very well with coke. Now you might ask "Where do I find some bloody Amaro Lucano ?". The answer is, come to Italy or buy some imported bottles. However if you are unable to find the good stuff you might resort to other varieties of italian Amari (Ramazzotti, Averna or even Montenegro).

This is the sort of drink that goes well with football matches and pepperoni pizzas and friends. Drink a few beers with your pepperoni pizza. Then eat some hazelnut cake and drink a few of these guys. You shall be happy.

Limoncello Shabam

Here's another cocktail recipe. This one is kind of weird tasting, but after a few of them the taste kind of grows into you.
For this cocktail thou shalt need : 

Limoncello (Souther Italian sweet lemon liqueur)
Vodka
Red Bull (Or some other comparable energy drink)
Grapefruit Juice
Ice







Pour an equal amount of every ingredient (Or different amounts. Whatever) over ice, in an Old Fashioned glass. Stirr, enjoy.

This drink is best drunk at 6pm, possibly in the middle of the week. Usually weird cocktais are usually drunk during wild friday night type of deals. So drinking these on a stupid mid-week night can bring nice feelings of weirdness upon you.

If you do not find Limoncello you can always make your own, by the way. Find some fancy Italian lemons, or some stupid ones if you cannot find the fancy ones. Use only the zest of the lemon.
Place the lemon zest in grain alchohol (The higher proof the better). Let it sit for a week or so in dry place (Not exposed to direct sunlight. Shake the container every once and a while). Then strain the results and mix them with simple syrup (What quantities? How about you do some trial and error instead of relying on me).

And that is it


Gyro/Cashews Pasta

How about combining gyro/kebab beef meat and pasta? I'd say yes.
I consider this pasta to be a variation of my Pistachios pasta. But this one is way more fat. So, if you fill like stuffing your face with awesome greasy pasta keep reading things.






YOU SHALL NEED

Kebab/Gyro Beef Meat
Onions
Pancetta
Olive Oil
Cream
Cashews
Pasta
Pecorino/Parmesan cheese

Step 1 : Cook the onions and the pancetta in a pan with olive oil

Step 2 : Make water boil

Step 3 : Once the water is boiling add pasta and salt to water

Step 4: While you wait for pasta to be done mix the cream and the gyro meat with the onion/pancetta mixture

Step 5 : Grind up finely some cashews, grind up chunkyli some other cashews

Step 6 : When the pasta is done drain it, and mix it with the cream/gyro/onion/pancetta condiment

Step 7 : Place pasta in dish and put ground up cashews and cheese on top

Step 8 : Eat

This pasta is the stuff of legends. It has so many calories and sodium that you don't even want to know. You just want to eat.

BUON APPETITO
