We tested the buckthorn liquor we made last year. I was worried that it would taste a bit like bad wine, but was surprised how full and rich it actually tasted.
Another year or two and will taste like ... wine?!😕

Actually the Clamato is not just tomato juice with clam nectar, there's more to it than that but close enough for a comparison.
Another popular pub drink up here is the 'Clam pint'. It's what you call a Chelada. It's like a 'red eye' but again, tomato juice is substituted with Clamato.
What I'm drinking? ... Alcohol! And I did have a glass of some vegan type of milk that I really like a lot, oats and almonds.
I've had another of those homemade beers, and I had a bottle of home made blueberry wine, also a few glasses of rum mixed with some carbonated sugary beverage kindofthing.

While I did manage to celebrate it yesterday with my son in law in Bermuda, we repeated today our recognition of International Gin & Tonic day. Victoria Distillers Cocktail, or Empress 1908 Gin, muddled cumcumber & mint, tonic & twist of lime. Who’d a thunk cucumber in a cocktail? Followed tonight by a traditional Bermudan Rum swizzler.
17p for 2 litres Tesco diet coke.
During the summer the cheap cola was taken off the shelves due to high demand for pop during the hot weather.
Now summer is over it is back on sale.
I mostly drink sugar free cola.

Tesco classic rich roast coffee. I have no gall bladder and this coffee is fairly light on the stomach.
Just the other eveneing, a chemist on a popular TV show where people get answers to their often asked questions, explained WHY water is often added to whiskey.
Especially smokey liquors contain a chemical substance with very heavy tones, but this substance is solved by the alcohol. If the % of the drink is lowered to 40%, this substance is suddenly released and floats or lingers on top of the drink and will enhance the taste.
So if your favourite whiskey or mezcal is well above 40% (80 proof), add a little water to lower the percentage and loose the aromas loose!
