I was in Walmart today and saw these cocktail glasses on clearance!

From The Pioneer Woman collection, this Colette, a lovely Coupe.
I thought a Cran-Pomegranate Skinny Cosmo would be a great way to christen this new glass (I bought a pair).
This recipe doesn't quite fill the glass, so I may need increase the measurements.
DH said that I need to purge two of my cocktail glasses in order to add two new ones, OKAY!
I'll follow in Rocklobster foot steps and give some of my glasses to the Charity Shop.
HO HO HO!!!

Darn, hadn't heard of that - it has to be new, well, within the last 10 years anyway :)

Milk stout or mountain culture? They're based on Katoomba and they sell on tap, so take a litre container and they'll fill it for you. Being our first visit, we had to opt for their cans.

Milk stout is centries old but you must know that?

To be honest - I have never heard of milk stout until now. I just can't imagine a beer being made from or including milk in it ... :)

They used to say the beer was a complete meal in itself (in there middle ages). That's why. Protein, alcohol to kill the bugs in the water, hops and you've got the carbs...

Though this article makes it less old...
Milk stout originated in late 19th-century Britain, blending lactose (milk sugar, unfermentable by yeast) into dark stouts for added sweetness, body, and perceived nutrition, with brewers marketing it as a tonic for invalids and nursing mothers, with Mackeson's brewing the first commercial version around 1907-1910, becoming a popular, restorative brew that later saw revivals, especially during the craft beer boom.
