Parental Discretion Advised! A Side Trip to Spain.

An associate recently made a trip to Spain, Morocco & Gibraltar … as I learned of it; I became quite interested in the planned excursion.  Upon Bob’s return he was eager to share with me the experience, all of which was positive. One bit that he shared intrigued us both, as he spoke of the trip. Upon ordering a Gin and Tonic he was taken when the waiter brought the bottle of Beefeater Gin to the table and commenced pouring until Bob indicated it was sufficient. Flummoxed - Bob indicated he may have waited a little too long in telling the waiter to stop pouring.  We both found the pouring curious, compared to how a drink is poured and served in the U.S. You ask how I know it was Beefeater? Bob told me when placing the order he had a choice of Beefeater or Tanqueray. The Tanqueray was 3€ greater, so that was an easy starter – go with the Beefeater.
