Description

The Swordfish was devised upon reflection on the Hammerhead cocktail. As we were bloody well out of Coca Cola and hadn't any Sambucca; the obvious solution involved substituting 7 Up and Herbsainte. Col. Picketsmithe of the Municpal Forces of Fondeline remarked that it was perhaps a little like drinking liquid licorice, to which I responded with a firm handed slap upon his mustachioed countenance. Pip Pip!
