Last cocktail hour of July

Last weekend of July and last Cocktail hour  took place on Friday.

I opted for a Dirty Martini but decided to push the boat out and make Cake Sale ( should have an acute accent over the E but this is an English keyboard), a popular French apero, a cross between cake and bread.

I have been wanting to make this for a few weeks but never seemed to have the time. I will be making it again.

Dirty Martini

Gin

Extra Dry vermouth

Brine from olive jar

Garnish with olives

Shake over ice, strain and serve.

Its that easy!

Cake Sale 

200g self raising floor

200g butter melted

3 eggs

This makes the 'batter'

Add to this  savoury items, I used, red onion, mature cheddar ( grated), rosemary (chopped)smoked ham ( thin strips) tomatoes (chopped) and Olives sliced in 'O's

Add  to the batter and stir together.

Pour into a loaf tin.

Bake for 20-25 minutes at gas mark 4

This is a great make and very tasty.

August cocktail month is now beginning.
