National Gin and Tonic Day 2025
 |
I was a Gin and Tonic man when I was that drinker seeking watering holes in and close to Naval Bases internationally.
I had been known to down quite a few screwdrivers before landing on Gin and Tonic and found it was a refreshing bitterness that matched much of my attitude at that time.
So today is National Gin and Tonic Day and I pay homage.
It is celebrated each April 9 in observance of that vintage drink featured so prominently in my past.
I'm quite sure that during that time I had consumed so much quinine that I was immune to malaria.
Indeed I never suffered from it though I was in areas of the world which found it flourishing.
I'm sure the Navy had intervened otherwise as well.
So happy National Gin and Tonic Day.
If you're so inclined throw one down for me.
So many fond memories of the drink and the times.
