I like Gordons but somehow Bombay just takes the edge. Gordons
reminds me of my dive buddy telling me that during the war he was in
charge of seeking out wrns who could pour drinks in the bar. One
seemed pretty bright but she was stymied when someone asked for a pink
gin. Apparently Gordons was in dark green bottles at that time so she
decided that must be it. Pours it, gives it to the guy and he asked
'Where's the angostura?' and she said 'Down the hall and left' - he
swore it was true
