Oooh yes my grandparents and parents often speak of a gin & frolic!
I know someone who used to call herself an alcofrolic which was not as good as this. A bit darker, perhaps…
Hmm I can only think of one from my family and its not as funny! We call instructions destructions anyway….
I don’t even like gin but this photo really makes me fancy a glass!
I like gin! *drools*
