mainwaring

A cocktail drink comprised of Gin and Ginger Ale, Ice and sliced cucumber. Named in honour of Arthur Lowe, the actor who played Captain Mainwaring in the TV show 'Dad's Army' which is still shown on British TV. This cocktail was Arthur Lowe's favourite tipple, especially during an evening get-together with the other members of the cast when they were location filming and all staying in the same hotel.

Mandaring
