    They are both "made" in the glass, but you might just be getting there, and I love the fact that you obvs are not googling it.

    OK (Can't resist!) What is the one and only difference between a Tom Collins and a Gin Fizz? No conferring or googling please!! Has to be said that they lived in Hull which is so flat, as is the area around them, that to learn how to do a hill...
