Friday night tipple?

Was listening to a simon Rogan podcast while out on my walk earlier and he described a drink he called the floor-clearer: 4 shots of gin, 8 cubes of ice in a pint glass topped up with ginger beer. Apparently after a couple he became so loud and obnoxious everyone left

Slim pickings in the shop today so have had to make do with bud. We do have some gunpowder gin for later if I can stay up past 9pm.
 
I started the evenings drink slightly early. We had a couple of Pastis with cloudy lemonade and plenty of ice before moving on to a Wainwright crafted beer. I like the taste of this and it is not too strong at 4.1% Vol.

I am waiting for the wife to come down out of the bath so I can nip in and have a shower to get the sun cream off. Whilst I'm in the shower, the wife will prepare a Ben Gunn super. An assortment of cheeses and an assiette of meats. All washed down with another Wainwright and G&T.
 
Gin and tonics. 🥃still in safeguarding so haven't asked anyone to get me any beer.

I'll wait til this is over
 
Lemonade with Pastis :oops: - sacrilege !

What's your Pastis of choice Norman ? - Ricard for me, though I don't think you can get it in the UK ? - certainly never used to be able to
It is not just any lemonade, it is cloudy lemonade. I also like to drink it with ice and water.

Have you ever tried the Pastis Rose that 51 did. That was lovely with a splash of water- dangerous, went down to easy. I haven't seen it on the shelves for a while. A proper summers day drink.
 
Had a fantastic afternoon a few years back in Marseille on the pastis before going to see Neil Young. Aperol Spritz is todays tipple of choice. Perhaps some cask Seaforth by Thornbridge later.

Thumbs up for Brew by No's by the way. Fantastic brewery!
