``We sat long, one delicious evening in December, under the olive
trees at that place, smoking cigarettes rolled by Stoneman, chatting
about the war, and getting slightly boozed upon aguardiente furnished by
Gen. The libation was
originally known as the Draque and made by combining Aguardiente (the
crude forerunner of rum), sugar, lime and mint and was served with a
wooden spoon embellished with a cock's tale in place of a handle. Parts of rural Colombia
are sprinkled with signs beckoning passers by to roadside dirt strips
for a round of tejo, along with beer or aguardiente, the local
firewater. |
