swimming pool

Three or four years ago (I’m sure my co-blogger can tell you the exact date *) we went on a mini train tour of East Germany which took us from Dresden to Berlin via Leipzig. If there had been a soundtrack** to this journey, it would have been the final slurps of a draining cocktail glass followed by an enthusiastic “Noch zwei Swimming Pool bitte”.

Flamboyantly pour all the ingredients into a cocktail shaker.

Verdict: If you like the constituent ingredients, you’ll love this.

Drink: Probably came midway between a bottle of Cava and a few vodka and tonics.

Entertainment: A mixture of TV and ever-deteriorating child care
