To my disappointment, it tastes like some kind of medicine. It must be the other stuff in the boat drinks that makes them taste so good.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6407338-107634226671246063?l=boatdrinks.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>betsythedevinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6407338.post-1075484017188901832004-01-30T12:30:00.000-05:002004-01-30T12:40:56.733-05:00"Sloe gin fizz" was a nice name. (Never tried the drink, tho.) "Slow comfortable screw" sounds as if the name-maker worked so hard that the drink itself is probably not very good.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6407338-107548401718890183?l=boatdrinks.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>betsythedevinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6407338.post-1075483783101752442004-01-30T12:28:00.000-05:002004-01-30T12:31:56.436-05:00A sickeningly sweet drink with lots of chunks of fruit in it seems like a poor choice to give a seasick newbie who just embarked in a gently rocking cruise ship. If the bartender were a sadist, that might explain it. <div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6407338-107548378310175244?l=boatdrinks.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>betsythedevinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6407338.post-1075483668689217992004-01-30T12:25:00.000-05:002004-01-30T12:30:02.046-05:00Why are they blue? Is there something about boats that gives us an appetite for large amounts of blue food coloring? <br /> <br />And why the umbrellas? Are they for the tiny people who will inhabit our hallucinations after too many libations? <div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6407338-107548366868921799?l=boatdrinks.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>betsythedevinenoreply@blogger.com
