Problems
What can you serve guests who protest,
'No thanks. I'm driving'? Or:
'I can't, I'm pregnant.'
'I can't take alcohol because of my pills,' (Anything which makes you drowsy such as an antihistamine or a pill to stop giddness and many more) Or
'I'm giving up alcohol in January, post-Christmas to lose weight.'
'I'm not allowed to drink 12 hours before flying. So, nothing on New Year's Eve. In any case, I'm a Mormon - so I don't touch alcohol.' (Pilot at our hotel in Florida.)
Solutions
Nosecco is to my mind the funniest and most memorable name. I am very fond of Prosecco. Prosecco is from Italy, around the area of that name. Nosecco comes from France. An amusing play on words, a pun on no, and secco Italian for dry, and Prosecco the Italian sparkling wine.
Driving is not the only problem. I don't like to drink when travelling home long distances on trains. But I never drink before performing on stage either.
Here are some drinks alphabetically:
Beck's Blue
Kaliber
Nosecco
Seedlip
