Definitely a girly drink!! Try a Vodka Martini, shaken not stirred... No, really. It's like downing meths, but smoother and more expensive. Had a number of 'hard blokes' call me on it, so I challenged them to drink one of mine for every pint of theirs I put down. Most took one sniff of the drink, made a horrified face and left with far more respect than with which they approached!! Or, if you want to go proper Bond, try the Vesper - 6 measures vodka, 1 measure Gordon's gin, half measure of dry vermouth, shaken over ice and served with a large slice of lemeon peel. But saying that, real men drink mead anyway... preferably from large horns, while leaning their axes up against their longboats and grabbing the nearest shieldmaiden!!
