What is my favourite drink?
Well, that depends on where I am… 🤔
When in Wales, Beer is the national drink – but a tot of Penderyn Whiskey goes down a treat. A good Scotch Whiskey when in bonnie Scotland. A pint of the dark ruby-red ‘Guinness’ in Ireland.
When I’m in France a Pastis cocktail or Green Chartreuse liqueur, followed by some beautiful French bubbles; Champagne.
When in Cuba I’ll sip the classic Mojito. A couple of shots of Tequila or Mezcal in Mexico. Clink glasses topped with Raki in Turkey.
I like to sample a variety of cocktails whilst exploring the Caribbean Islands.
When in Spain I’m partial to the perfect Spanish cocktail of Rioja, sugar and freshly chopped fruits (Sangria).
There is nothing more decadent than a Ginjinha; a cherry Brandy served in a tiny chocolate cup when visiting Lisbon.
A Campari or a refreshing Negroni or Manhattan cocktail in Italy.
Tea or a revitalising, chilled glass of lemonade with lots of mint leaves whilst in Egypt.
In the UK, a freshly brewed pot of tea is UK’s magic potion. It is often said, “what you need is a nice cup of tea”. ☕️🫖
But I’m rather partial to a glass of full bodied red wine, no matter what Country I’m in. 🍷😁😋
Happy Friday my friends. ❤️🤪
Nice tips 💯

Yes indeed. Between tapas and wine back when we went there it was like having a free meal. The jamon sandwich with a fresh pastry was my favorite breakfast in Spain. The wine was truly lovely and so were the people. Have a wonderful week. 🤗

I regularly do tastings of Scottish whiskies, very peaty products Octomore, port Charlotte 2014 Islay Barley, CAOL ILA 12 years… But I retain the one you talk to me Sara, because it is a find that I intend to discover and deepen… Many thanks my friend Sara.
I am French, but I have Celtic origins .

I’ll drink to that! And you are right, when in Rome… But I always tend to gravitate towards my red wine in winter and white wine in summer, an occasional dry martini (with vodka, not gin) or a shot (or two) of Bushmills. Have a fab evening as well and enjoy a good glass of wine! Cheers Sara! 😊🍷🌻🌻🌻💛😊
