A Baltimore Sun blogger came up with a (very) short list of "healthy" alcoholic drinks. My absolute favorite drink (G&T, introduced to me by CWF's boyfriend my sophomore year before a sorority semi-formal) is on it, so I will drink to that.

One of my favorite books, Tipsy In Madras, has this to say about the G&T:
Accessory: Whites
Activity: Tennis
Don't: Drink before Memorial Day or after Labor Day
(Walker, Matt and Marissa Walsh. Tipsy In Madras. p 30. 2004 The Berkley Publishing Group, New York, NY.)
So while I may not follow those rules (though I am dying to find a tennis partner after taking it as a college course), my love for this drink is ever present, and well known at my old haunt enough that the first question the bartenders would ask was, "Gin and Tonic?" (Don't worry, I worked there. They knew me, and not because I was in there so often.)
Oh the very preppy G&T we used to have a party named after it. xoxo
ReplyDeleteLOVE G&T! It is my absolute favorite drink, though someone told me it is the worst for your body, like hardcore alchys shy away from it? Who knows, I still love it!
