rusty69 Posted August 25, 2022 Report Share Posted August 25, 2022 Now I can see why you wanted to get that fridge/freezer working. After all, what is a cocktail without ice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am curious about how a Negroni fixes a boat demonstrating engine problems!🐵 Do you pour it in the fuel tank or directly into the air intake? Or do you just drink it while waiting for the engineer to pitch up ?😃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex Brummie Posted August 28, 2022 Report Share Posted August 28, 2022 Soda in a Negroni????? Apart from the fruit and ice, everything should be alcoholic. Hudd's Lad has it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
