Can I recommend a good cocktail to you? It’s called teasing. A difficult blend to master, but it’s delicious, sophisticated and memorable. It’s like a whiskey sour. You take a bit of charm, sweetness, a pleasant manner. Then you a dash of whiskey- astringent, maybe dry. On its own, it might be too much. But with a bit of affection, it really does the trick. It doesn’t have to be about other people. It can also be a joke about yourself. It’s not risk free. It has to be the right blend, and practiced. And the moment needs to be right. But when it works… Best film example below.

If you like makin' love at midnight If you have half a brain   I’m not sure these are necessary criteria for liking this drink but they can’t hurt.   If there is one drink that defines a tropical holiday then it has to be the piña colada.  It’s a drink with a very long claimed history but which really only came into its own with the invention of another product, cream of coconut.   This should not be mistaken for coconut cream, which is exactly what I did the first time I made it and, well, let’s just say the result was not good.   In the 1940s in Puerto Rico an agriculture professor, Don Ramón López-Irizarry saw the value of the white ‘meat’ of the mature coconut but recognised that it was a slow inefficient process to extract it.  He developed a mechanical efficient process for the extraction of the meat and also developed a product that blended the coconut with sugar, xanthan gum and citric acid to form a very sweet coconut cream which was called cream of coconut.  This has since been sold worldwide under the brand name Coco Lopez. Referring to my earlier comment and especially for those in Asia, this is not the same as coconut cream or coconut milk which are unsweetened.  However you can make your own cream of coconut if Coco Lopez is unavailable as follows. Good for maybe 8 piña coladas 200ml full fat coconut milk 190g white sugar Heat the coconut milk and sugar gently in a saucepan stirring until the sugar has dissolved and then gently simmer for 2-3 minutes before leaving to cool and then keep refrigerated and it’s good for maybe 1-2 weeks.  I guess you could freeze it too.   Now for the drink itself, piña colada translated literally means strained pineapple and claims for the invention of a drink of that name date back to the early 1800’s but the origin of the blended ice drink we all know and love really seem to be between two men with similar names working very close to each other in Puerto Rico, however the weight of opinion seems to favour Ramon Monchito who concocted the drink while working as a bartender at the Caribe Hilton Hotel in 1954.   Many bartenders believe that the original piña colada is a flawed drink, too sweet, often too much ice, and lacking acidity to balance the Coco Lopez but I’ll leave the improvements to a future post.   Finally back to the title of the post. For many people the drink was made famous in the song Escape by Rupert Holmes. Long before Ashley Madison made having an affair trendy, Holmes sings about a married guy who seeks out a relationship through the personal ads, finding one that starts “if you like piña coladas” only to eventually find the writer of the letter was his wife at which point he sings “I never knew" "That you like piña coladas” And it all ends happily ever after. Have a listen and maybe it will bring back memories of the late 1970s for you.https://lnkd.in/gnVYUtey   Now for the recipe and more history head over to my Substack https://lnkd.in/gprNkYNB

When faced with the same choices, people will make different decisions depending on how they are presented to us. This is where persuasion comes into play. To master this art is to master all the skills of a good negotiator together and in harmony. There is no more illustrative example than this scene from Roberto Benigni's "Life is Beautiful" to understand the effectiveness of persuasion in a negotiation and upselling. https://lnkd.in/d3rWgP4i

Messed up and want the ground to swallow you whole? 🤬 Do your toes curl when you remember accidentally copying your boss into an email about their fashion sense? 🤬 Is your garage full of boxes of ‘the next big thing’ because your great idea didn't get off the ground? 🤬 Most importantly, are you still around to TELL THE TALE? If so then FUN Liverpool is the perfect place to vent, own your failures and meet like-minded people; to share those stories and support each other, ready to dust yourself off and fight another day 🥊 📆 – Thursday, 14 November ⏰️ – 6 – 9:30pm 📍 – Liverpool Gin Distillery, L2 7LQ Failure is likely. Burnout is real. Perfection is rhetorical. You’re likely to lose more than you win – especially when trying something new, brave and bold for the first time in your life. And that can be devastating to your mental health. No one likes to get a bad grade or get knocked out of a tournament early. You’re allowed to feel frustrated – but by sharing those stories, owning your failures and building resilience, you can rise above those conflicts, defeat your ego, stop being held back and go again, never stopping until you achieve your goals and get what you love. That sense of community is what FUN is all about. We’re sponsoring and supporting the Liverpool version of the global movement with some (extremely brave) speakers owning their failures in a room full of strangers – to show that if you get pushed back one step, there’s no reason you can’t take another two forward.
