DameEdna Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 I am looking for what to drink whilst reading Graham Greene --- he was known for his 11:00 A.M. bracer --- was it gin? Or, a single malt scotch sounds like a possibility --- or should that be reserved for reading the poetry of Robert Burns? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deangold Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 In Venice at 7am its Grappa. By 11 am you should be on a Spritz Aperol or Campari. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Which Greene? Gin & tonic might do the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jparrott Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 I'm told with good authority that Graham Greene only ever drank Avondale Cabernet Sauvignon Rose 2006 at 11am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stretch Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 If you can wait until after lunch, you could just smoke some opium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hersch Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 I realize I'm chiming in too late, but the obvious choices for 11 am drinking are champagne and Bloody Marys, which are not necessarily mutually exclusive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSE Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 If it's colonial Africa Greene, I'd go with a pink gin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
