I, myself, love it. I like the old school dry gins like Gordon's and Gilbey's. I like the new school user friendly ones like Bombay Sapphire and Tanqueray Rangpur. I love a well-made martini. Hell, I like an indifferently made martini. I like gin and tonic. I like gin and juice.
And right now, I'm liking my second tall glass of New Amsterdam on the rocks, no mixer. Boom, baby.
What say you?

Gin and tonic is my cocktail of choice. Yum. I could go for one right now!
I, too, am a fan of gin. I usually go with Gordan's, but I was fairly pleased when I tried Bombay Sapphire. My introduction to the stuff was Beefeater in a gin and tonic, and then martinis and cigars. That night, I truly became an adult. :smug:
I'll drink the occasional Gin and Grapefruit, but it's no Bourbon.
We aren't prejudiced here; I made artifex a Maker's Mark sour, with real lemon and homemade simple syrup, before dinner this evening. :sci:Quote:

Not a gin drinker here. But then I rarely drink any hard liquor now anyway. But even when I did, not gin.
And I just poured you a shot of the Glenmorangie 10 that you got me for Christmas! *cheers*Quote:

It might be, hopefully I can beat it next month Boston.
I am trying to think how many Domebo members showed up at my last Doper/Dumbofest. I might have had over 4. Though Loach barely ever posted here.
Gin gin gin gin gin gin! 1. Plymouth 2. Hendricks 3. Sapphire. AND Dry Fly (small distillery in Spokane). Also, Tangueray rangpur. Jenevers (jong). Grapefruit juice, tonic, olive brine, a single ice cube, don't bother with the ice cube.
So I should buy some gin before hosting a Mellofest?
Either that, or fly to Texas and we'll buy the gin. :smug:Quote:

As for gin, I'm willing to admit that I haven't had the right kind, or had it served the right way - but it tastes like Pine-Sol to me.
Gin is booze for people who don't like booze. When I want the fresh scent and flavor of Pine-Sol, I'll make some floor cleaner shooters.
I'm not saying that bourbon is bad. Its just that Scotch is its older, more mature brother. Mmmmmm.Quote:

Bah. I like booze, Jack Daniels straight up, single malt scotch, pretty much all of them, but I do like me some gin. Bombay Sapphire may be my favourite, but they're all good. Martini, gin and tonic, Tom Collins...bring 'em on.Quote:

Having said that I couldn't imagine drinking a gin and tonic in a month with an R in it.
I love whiskey and rum.
I never liked gin, but it' still better than vodka.
Keep in mind that we live in Texas; the warm weather gets going by March, and it's still a sauna in September/October. We earn those G&Ts! ;)Quote:

Tanqueray. Maybe, maybe Plymouth. No, just Tanqueray.
Lime.
Yes, we did. And we were good at it, too.Quote:
