Drink of Past, Present and Future
Still trying to figure out what a "whisky and potash" would be. Must find out in time for Alexander Gibson Day(s), rapidly approaching. If anyone knows how you would make this drink, please inform me.
From Golf in the Year 2000:
“You’ll be thirsty,” said Adams; “at least I am. What will you drink?”
“I’ll have a whisky and potash,” I answered; “at least if there is still such a drink in existence.”
“Ah,” he said, “we have been able to improve upon a lot of your old-fashioned ways; but the Auld Kirk has stood its ground. It was the drink of the past, it is the drink of the present, and it will be the drink of the future. As long as there are golfers to drink it, there will be distillers to make it.”
Going up to the side of the room, round which a ledge ran, about three feet from the floor, he put a coin in a slot and produced tumblers of whisky and potash—one for himself and one for me.
