What's that drink, something and black... can't remember it.


My mother still orders Cinzano & Lemonade. I'm taking her to lunch at Le Gavroche for her 60th birthday next week, and I know she's going to order that or Asti Spumante, and I know I'll be embarrassed, and then guilty for being embarrassed (sigh) ;-)


Both my parents love a bit of mateus rose.

mackeson.

My Mum loves it.*

You can get it in cans sometimes in the supermarkets but not in many pubs.


Warninks Advocaat? Got smashed on that aged five when I discovered it in my Nan's living room cabinet.



* OK, I love it too. And Hope and Anchor on the rover front at Charlton sold it when I last went there.


And I adore Cinzano and Lemonade! Goes nice with a prawn cocktail....


Cherry Brandy, Apricot Brandy


Manderin Napoleon.

Taboo and lemonade.


Blue bols and lemonade.


I still enjoy a Manhattan, or a snowball at Christmas, or a brandy alexander when I have acid indigestion (so much more fun than a zantac). Clearly I am fashionably retro.

"Banks's Moild" thank you, Southern Bourgeoisie.


Black and Tan


Guiness and Vimto and a bag of Walkers Ready Salted (before the foil packets) or Pork Scratchings (in clear, plastic, label-less bags)


Sunday lunch at Hawkins Colliery Working Mans Club, Cheslyn Hay. The deafening clatter of dominos on plastic table tops, a fug of Woodbine and pipe smoke, pints of Banks's Moild in dimpled pint mugs, a bottle of vimto and a packet of Walkers. Two bob for the bandit. My youth. At least for three seasons of the year. Crown green bowls was the summer game.

Less of the "was", I still sometimes have one of these in the Winter when it's really really cold .....


Admittedly I had to explain to a barperson at the Palmerston what a Whisky Mac is .....
