    M'learned friend below rejects the Dry Martini; very well.

    What are your favourite pre-prandial tipples?

    Limiting the list to 5 is the difficulty:

    1. The Vieux Carre.
    2. The Negroni.
    3. The Dry Martini.
    4. The Classic Champagne Cocktail.
    5. The Aviation.

    Honourable mentions to the Vieux Carre's siblings, the Sazerac and the Old Fashioned.

    As you can see, this is a most pleasing list. Which are your favourties?

    A few beers.

    I prefer the post dinner drinks.

    Of course my house is full of limoncello and grappa.

    I like to pronounce Grappa in a cockney way. I'm Jack the Grappa It entertains myself.

    I had some other drink the other day which was home made can't remember the name. It was red and tasted like medicine.

    So do I, to be honest. So long as it's beer.

    Limoncello really is filth, isn't it? I always get sucked into it, though

    Grappa, when good, is a fine beast. When bad, it's appalling.

    Limoncello is the 4am party drink.

    When all beer is gone, the early house on the Quays does not yet open for 2 hours and the host Mario thinks he has hit on a plan to see us through the hellish interval.

    Was it some Sloe Gin, per chance? I've got a bottle stashed away somewhere at home.

    I have forsworn the vieux care after what it did to me last time.

    I wonder sometimes if the Negroni isn't a touch overrated (controversial, I know),

    For me, it's (in no order):

    Caipirinha
    Aviation
    Champagne cocktail
    Margarita (tarty, I know, but I like it)
    Vieux Carre

    Old Fashioned, Manhattan and Highball

    And yes, all of my cocktails are from 40s american literature
