Challenge ~ Blast from the Past

Girly Drinks from the 60's

Gin and orange ~ Port and lemon ~ yuk ~ how did we drink these concoctions?

And what happened to Babycham and Snowballs (the ones with Advocaat+lemonade)?

Others reminiscing over the "Good Old Days" are here http://forum.pbase.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=39669&sid=e5baa86a27bf9a72261481f58fbd01ca

I do not remember these drinks but Slo Gin fizzes for a while were the style, (until you have had too many.)

Went the same way as Black Velvet (Guiness & Champagne) I guess!!

Never heard of Port Wine and lemon. It does sound nasty.

Ah, snowballs - that was a favourite Christmas drink for
Peter's Nanna and Auntie Alice. How they enjoyed their
treat, with cherries on sticks too!
Happy preparing for Christmas both of you!
with love, Suey xxx
