History

During the 1980s, the Vodka & Tonic knocked the G&T off the top spot as Britain's signature drink, its popularity helped by frequent appearances in television series such as ITV's Minder, broadcast 1979 to 1994. The comedy-drama series starred the affable but unscrupulous entrepreneurial trader, Arthur Daley, who was a regular at the Winchester Club, where his usual was "a large V.A.T", a wordplay on Value Added Tax. Arthur never paid for drinks, so "stick it on the slate" would inevitably follow his bar call.

Review

Dry, crisp, refreshing and cleansing. Sip, contemplate and say to yourself, "The world is my lobster."
