Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
back to sailing erhhm ! - sailors say they have a girl in every port - I do like a girl with every port they taste charming! mind you them sailors I reckon don't know how to drink proper - theyze just gulp them down instead of sipping them gentle - which raises an interesting point which Jem usually has the answer to:
does gulpin down ya drinks make ya more drunker quicker than sipping ya drinks likes a laudy? now sweetie and solo step this way whilst I pour you out of me port - you've both been steepin too long in there and you'll leave a haze over it!
favorite drinks now there's a thung : apart from the usual borin stuff like guiness and beer etc I used to like a brandy alexander - delightful drink - I think I seen it being drunked for the first time on brideshead re-visited when that weazle of a man was trying to sujuice someone at a watering hole?
my favorite fortified wine is not port which we iz talkin aboot here but Muscat - it has hidden flavors and seems to have a stronger body than port or that terrible stuff sherry - sorry sherry I know I'll probably meet you on the cruise!
one of my way back favorites was black velvet - did you every try that one Jem ? but now I believe it's been superseeded by guiness and black - I just can't imagine drinkin guiness with blackcurrant juice but I am told it takes away the bitterness of the guiness - bitter sweet heh??
I have tried the original Sazerac brandy mix as once drinked in the deep south of the US but I am not sure I mixed it well you need to brandy glasses and ice and one switches to the other - it's a bit like doin a magicians trick on stage!!
