I discovered this combination a few years ago, either by accident or through Jeeves and Wooster (I can’t remember if Bertie ever drank B&S in the show), and have loved it ever since.

There is, of course, the smug satisfaction of drinking something so archaic, but that aside, it is delicious and one of very few cocktails I truly love.

B&S? Right ho, I say.

I love soda and happened to have ginger brandy in the liquor cabinet. I normally drink bourbon and soda with lemon. This is something different and I really like it. Also like the fact that it is obviously an old English traditional drink. Being from the American deep South, I’m a chronic Anglophile!

Jeeves & Wooster is the perfect accompaniment to the B&S. Or any drink really.

My initiation came a couple of weeks ago, after becoming mildly addicted to Jeeves and Wooster stories on my Kindle.

In my opinion it’s a great way of using up an inferior brandy that may have been given as a gift by a well-meaning, but sadly misguided, relative :o )
