Kingsley Amis

As it's 1.15am over here, it's now the 16th April and Kingsley Amis' birthday. Born this day in 1922, he even went to the same school as my boyfriend so I can't hold Martin against him too much. In honour of the commie writer's day of birth, I propose this cocktail.

Lucky Jim
1/2 oz vodka
1/2 oz amaretto
1/2 oz triple sec
1/2 oz white rum
1 oz Jim Beam
1/2 oz sloe gin
1 splash cranberry juice
1 splash lime juice
1 splash orange juice

You put the booze in the glass and you drink them all together, you put the booze in the glass, then you feel better.

I always though of him as a comedy writer more than a commie writer... but that's just because the scene in Lucky Jim where he sets the bed on fire made me laugh until i nearly pissed myself.

He was big in the UK Communist Party until the USSR invaded Hungary in the '50s, and then he told them to stuff it. I loved 'Lucky Jim', a couple of the characters remind me of my lecturers!
