I've never been part of this life style, but it sounds fun.

It’s probably not for everyone Andrea, G&T that is, but I’m sure we all have our little guilty pleasures at Christmas time, cheers David

I'll need a gin & tonic after today with all my children and grandchildren coming over (lol) Very nicely done, David. Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas and Happy & Healthy New Year! Thanks also for commenting on my POTD! All the very best, Charlie Cheers!

Yum. Love this! And CHEERS! I actually hated gin and tonic till I found myself on a beach in the Caribbean at Christmas with nothing else to drink, I absolutely developed a taste for it! Happy Solstice! xomo

Heya Super Mo, Ah the secret of G&T is acquiring a taste for it, Gunpowder Gin is very popular over here now, very strong but has a nice kick to it, just like the name suggests, joyeux Solstice, cheers David
