When Hanna does finally end her marlin virginity, she may reject my idea to commemorate that moment with a billfish tattoo. If that’s the case – and I suspect it will be – perhaps we’ll just toast. Here are a handful of the liquors that might be appropriate:
Marlin 42 London Dry Gin
Blue Marlin
Billfish Tequila
Gamefish Vodka
Remember, drink responsibly and don’t operate heavy machinery if you’ve had more than a celebratory shot – but travel with us and give yourself plenty of things to be happy about.
