You Complete Bar Steward! (The Brandy Wars; Part 5) 15.05.06
Welcome to ‘You Complete Bar Steward!’, the column that aims to make drinking even more fun than it already is!
This is the penultimate part in “The Brandy Wars”, with next fortnight’s edition being the last time I touch on a particular type of drink for a month or two.

If you have any questions, queries, comments or general feedback, just drop me an email. Also, if you’ve tried a cocktail or drink that you liked (say, for example, when you were out on the piss one night) but can’t remember exactly what’s in it, give me a shout and I’ll try to find out what it’s called and what the correct ingredients are.
Until next time…
Cheers!
Danny Wallace.
