Ben and Chris,
Long time listener, first time writer-inner… I have a really annoying phone voice, so I thought i’d leave my drink request here.
A few weeks ago (in my listening time-line, not in actual time), you presented a drink named the salty-dog. Let it be stated, I am not a habitual drinker, but grapefruit juice, salt and gin, I was sold!
I tried to order it at three different bars over the course of a few weeks, to no avail. It would seem the whole city of Montreal is not down with the grapefruit juice. Last friday, I finally found a bar that had grapefruit juice and was ecstatic particulary given that I had to insist, first in french and then in english, they indeed had grapefruit juice on hand after the waiter said the didn’t because it was listed on the menu.
As luck would have it, they forgot to add the gin to my drink and I was too ashamed to speak up. I need a drink for that.
