MY FAVOURITE DRINK
My favourite drink used to be a barndy lime and soda. You might wonder why this drink fits the 'used to be' category. As a Aussie, it is reasonably easy to go into a bar and order said refreshing drink; a dash of brandy, one of lime juice cordial and the universal soda.
However, when in middle USA I asked for the drink, thinking it really could not be so complicated that I would receive what I did and almost cause an international incident when the bar tender really didn't know what to put in the concoction. You guessed it, the barman's first attempt had a somewhat liberal dash of pure lime juice included; not the cordial variety. NO, it was not a pleasant tasting, refreshing rendition of this old favourite!
