snowballs lol

I think snowballs and ameretto were the first alcoholic drinks I ever had - at my aunts house after sunday afternoon 'tea' - I must've been 10 and felt so grown up

Cyprus sherry such as Emva Cream.

How often do you hear people in pubs ask for:

mild?

Half 'n' half?

Black and tan?

Cinzano and Dubonnet used to be popular, too.
