One of the great extras with Graeme Simsion's The Rosie Project is the list of cocktails in the back based on characters in the novel (all served with a twist!)
The one below is more conventional, but a little different to Don's version, which came out of The Bartender's Companion: -
"Dr. Miranda Ball raised her hand."Same again, please."
I called to Rosie, loudly, as the bar area was now very noisy. "Miranda Ball. Alabama Slammer. One part each sloe gin, whisky, Galliano, triple sec, orange juice, orange slice and a cherry."
"We're out of triple sec," yelled Rosie.
"Substitute Cointreau. Reduce the quantity by twenty per cent."
By the end of the evening at the golf club, Don, Rosie and the boss of the operation had made and served one hundred and forty-three cocktails!
