What’s your poison for a good night out after a hard day?
Now I’m not talking “beer” or “white wine”… I want specifics, so if you haven’t got the sense to know what you’re drinking don’t say anything… I’ll start…
Gordons Gin, and Schweppes Tonic, with LEMON (proper old skool) and loads of ice…
In a Pub on an evening - either Guiness or Guiness and Black
Hot Summer afternoon in a Pub - Larger and Lime, or Cider (Pref Bulmers)
Pre Dinner - Gin and Tonic. (Gordons, Tanqyray or Bombay Saphire) Tonic has to be Schwepps, I prefer a slice of Lime.
I like my Dark Rum, either Mount Gay or Havana Club, usually with Coke.
Then of course there’s the Whiskeys… I do like a malt. Have a pref for Irish, as they tend to be a little sweeter. But its at odds with my Scots heritage.
When I get home after a day out on the bike, a full bodied Merlot or Shiraz goes nicely with the roast dinner I cook, and I like to finish with a can of Tanglefoot.
Chopin (polish vodka) with lots of ice, a dash of Galliano and orange juice and it must be in a tall glass
OR
Russian Standard (vodka) with Archers, lots of ice, cranberry juice and orange juice with a slice of lemon in a tall glass!
OR
Vodka straight (but non of this cheap sh1t!)
Winter: A good Single Malt - preferrence for GlenMoray
Summer: Havana Club + Coke although I am partial to a well made strawberry daquiri if it’s made with fresh strawberries…
Also really like my Caipirinhas for those warm days!
