What is my favourite drink?
Well, that depends on where I am… ๐ค
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 โGuinnessโ in Ireland.
When Iโm in France a Pastis cocktail or Green Chartreuse liqueur, followed by some beautiful French bubbles; Champagne.
When in Cuba Iโll 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 Iโm 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 UKโs magic potion. It is often said, โwhat you need is a nice cup of teaโ. โ๏ธ๐ซ
But Iโm rather partial to a glass of full bodied red wine, no matter what Country Iโm in. ๐ท๐๐
Happy Friday my friends. โค๏ธ๐คช
Nice tips ๐ฏ

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. ๐ค

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.
