Gin & Tonic
A favourite tipple of mine. Gin of choice is ‘Bombay Sapphire’, although Gordon’s is an acceptable alternative.
Use a decent tonic water like ‘Schweppes’ and none of your slimline rubbish either! Serve with ice and lemon.....my preference is with lime.


Jack Daniels

A drink to savour with American Ginger Ale and ice. An excellent tipple.


Wine
Have recently discovered the excellent ‘Cloudy Bay’ range of wines from New Zealand. Their Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay are delectable.
I also like the wines from the ‘Ernest & Julio Gallo’ winery in California - Turning Leaf Chardonnay and their White Grenache to name but two.
An alternative is the White Zinfandel from the ‘Blossom Hill’ winery, also in California.


Beer

Nastro Azzurro Peroni Beer always a firm favourite




Drink

The classic recipe for a Planter’s Rum Punch can be remembered by the following rhyme:

1 of Sour - 2 of Sweet - 3 of Strong - 4 of Weak

The Sour refers to lime juice, the sweet is sugar (gomme) syrup, Strong is the Rum itself and the Weak is just plain still water. Ensure the constituents are vigorously shaken with ice. Sprinkle ground nutmeg on the surface of the drink, insert staws and garnish with some fresh fruit and a cocktail umbrella...

My preference for the rum is the Barbados Mount Gay Eclipse.
