Botanically infused sparkling wine.


Now there's an idea.

Nope not going down that road.
All that riddling and disgorging.
Tried to make elderflower fizz.
To tech for me, or was then.
Rather have a full bottle in front of me
than a full frontal lobotomy

It's nothing more than a poor version of a French 75. Been drinking that as my Xmas morning tipple for donkeys years! :D :D :D
If I wanted patience, i'd have trained to be a doctor.

From memory.. That's...
50ml Dry Gin
10ml lemon juice
Teaspoon caster sugar
Topped up with Champagne

Hadn't thought of it that way.. So it's a cocktail in a bottle.

I see Mash has answered this but here's me been wondering for years what it has to do with brewing when we all know it's a Benny Hill joke....
I seldom take myself seriously....

Benny Hill?
A comedian seemingly much loved on other exclusive home distilling sites where the members are of a certain age. ;) ;)

Going well off topic here.
I recall that grave robbers dug his body up, looking for the jewelry that he wore in life.
And home distilling is considered illegal?
Life is about perspective. ::)

Look what you started....
I struggle with... it ok for a chap to be gay, but wolf whistling a pretty lass is considered bad taste.

I don't see why there should be a problem with either.

Perspective.
Grave robbing, not really a good thing.
Wolf whistling, normally done in public, and by it's nature intimidating, usually done by "butch" guys, en masse, at attractive females hence its tag.
The last time that I encountered predatory gay guys was in a gay club.
Territory can help put things into perspective.

The inside of your head seems like the inside of my fathers.
And no, I am straight.

Not having a go at yourself in particlar, just banging on at the world in general.
