Drinking Panache

[Dukeof Kircaldy]

In Britain, Lager and lemonade (7-up) is called Shandy.

There is also lager with lime juice, which is called:

lager and lime

I think that's how the term "Limey" came about. My dad would always talk about how citrus would help fight a disease called ricketts, or some such (he grew up during the Second World War with the rationing). He would then go on to tell me that the British Navy would put lime juice in the drink to prevent such diseases as are caused by citrus deficiencies .
