| An actual Mary I consumed on Pub Street in Siem Reap! |
Red and I have been sipping Bloody Marys on our verandas for
as long as she’s been in existence (2011 by publication date) and I feel like a
bit of a traitor here but I’ve just discovered the Gin & Tonic.
It’s a bit ironic to me that at the ripe old age of 63 I’ve
just stumbled on such a popular drink that’s been around forever – well a long
time anyway. Especially having been a cocktail waitress for a few years back in
my youth.
It happened poolside when I was hanging out with some new
traveler pals and one of them ordered the tall cool drink and I caught a whiff
of the gin. Ooooo baby, it smelled good!
So, of course, I ordered one and really, really loved it.
There’s the downside of a gin and tonic, however. Unlike the
Bloody Mary, I got a bit tipsy right away and discovered my limit is definitely
one. With Marys I never feel any kind of inebriation – just a tiny bit relaxed.
It must be all that tomato juice.
So, it’s a toss-up for me. Red’s a bit of a diehard on
things like this so she’ll probably stick with the Marys. I will most likely
alternate.
Yes! That’s the only fair thing to do.
