The best of a bad bunch I've found is nosecco, if you don't mind all the burping that follows.
Improved massively with Pimms, a case of 1 + 1 = 3!!
I was reminded on FB yesterday that it was the 11th anniversary of the creation of Turbo Pimms (Pimms and 8% Frosty Jack Cider).I'm a classy bloke.
Honestly, that seems to be fixing a problem that doesn't exist. Pimms & lemonade is a stealth drink; it creeps up on you,
rendering you insensible without you even realising it. The idea of a Pimms that just comes straight out and hits you on the head seems to miss the point.
There has never been much thought behind my drinking......
In a similar vein, after the last of my finals, my friends (the same ones involved in the Turbo Pimms) went along to the off licence and bought a bottle of cheap blend Whiskey to celebrate. I asked what mixer we should get. The owner suggested 'soda' - I misheard and thought he said 'cider' and bought a couple of litres of merrydown.......
We also had one party with the 80's version of Vodka Red Bull - whiskey and lucosade.
I was in a 'sports and social club' called The Blaggards. - we had quite a reputation at the time.....
