Sorry, I'm A Stanger Here Myself

[poliphilo]

When I was a kid I used to wonder what it was like to go into a pub and order a drink. And I used to worry that, when my time came, I'd do it wrong and be found out

I've always felt like I was bluffing my way through life. Like I'd missed out on some absolutely vital briefing session.

Keep your head down, imitate the natives, don't do anything to give yourself away.

Yes, I knew!

A screwdriver is made from vodka and orange juice.

Now when I drink, I mix the vodka with Diet Coke -- or get a Lemon Drop, which uses lemonade as the mixer and is served in a martini glass with a suger crusted rim.

I prefer- on the whole- to keep my spirits and my soft drinks separate.

But I'll admit that I developed a fondness last winter for mixing my whisky with (non-alcoholic) ginger wine. Very warming!

lemon drops are quite good. or vodka and bitter lemon soda, which is basically the same thing, but carbonated.

I like bitter lemon.

It's what I used to drink at my grandparents' house(only without the vodka.)I thought it was a wonderful treat.
