Mario Knows Tanqueray

On the flight from Memphis this Sunday, the pasengers received complimentary liquor, beer, etc., due to num(b)erous flight delays. Knowing that I would only get one free drink (I’m not really that cheap, but had drank plenty the entire week of vacation) I asked what types of liquor they had. The list included several differing kinds of spirits in the small single-serve bottles that we all know so well by sight.

Before the waitress was able to get the entire word “Tanqueray” past her lips, I anxiously repeated the word (Tanqueray), following it with a quick yes. Wow, it had been a few years since I’ve tasted that wonderful London dry gin!

Gin and tonic has always been a favorite drink of mine. When the gin is a Tanqueray, its that much better! There’s something about the dry, bitter tingle as it touches the tongue along with the lingering after-taste that keeps me craving. 

So, I lovingly rate Tanqueray London Dry Gin as both Bitterliscious and Tingiliscous!
