Mmmm, winter Pimms. That sounds delicious. I shall investigate it.

I bought a bottle of Winter Pimms the other day. You mix it with apple juice or warm it up with orange juice and bits - or make up your own combination. Havenâ€™t tried it yet - just liked the idea.

You know what my answer is. Lots of the Whiskeys and lots more of it, and then a bit more. If you mix it with soda or sparkling water you defray the hangover too. But Iâ€™ve become a whiskey bore so ignore me. Baileys and Red Bull is all the rage I hear. They call it a Milky Buzzer!

Yes, there are only so many hot ports one cvan drink of an evening.
I’m quite a fan of gin and tonic, but yes, it is one for crying with.
I was drinking vodka and tonic the other night on a whim, and I have to say it was most agreeable.
I’m not mad on whiskey. Or rather, I am, and that’s why it’s not advisable that I drink it.
I used to be quite partial to vodka, lime and soda, but I’ve found here that barmen are rather too generous with the lime and you can’t taste the vodka any more. Maybe I should order vodka and soda and keep a small flask of lime cordial in my pocket.

I’m undecided about my Christmas tipple. It might just be vodka and cranberry, you can get that in most pubs. Of course, it tastes nasty in most pubs. Hmmm. Maybe wine, I’ll just have to insist we drink in bars that sell proper wine. Buying a bottle is the best way to go, but does mean that there’s a strong chance I’ll drink the lot, which is never wise.

I have to find something to drink for the Christmas silly season. Beer is currently ripping my guts to pieces since my attack of â€˜the Ebolaâ€™ last week. Gin and tonic was suggested if I wanted to â€˜cry my way through Christmasâ€™ but somehow I think I wonâ€™t need the gin for that.
