Urgh! This dettol anti bacterial spray has really irritated my throat. And no, I didn't spray in on my throat, I'm not that stupid. I sprayed the bathroom and my partner's room keeping it angled well away from my face. It has a strong pungent lemon odour, normally avoid things like this as asthma.😩

Cocktail onions are key for a Gibson, and choosing pungent, tangy-sweet, crisp onions improves flavor, garnish appeal, and texture.
