    Gin and tonic with mint and lime is my drink of choice!

    I prefer Tanq 10.

    No one understands my love of this clear liquid and call me grandma for drinking it.
    My grandma drinks it. Only person I know who does. Dad gave me a taste of Gordon's firewater when I was 4 or 5.

    I don't know if all Gin bottles have this warning. But when I was a teen, 1 of my buddies would drink it every once in awhile (forget brand) and there was a warning label on the bottle that said "Drinking in excess may cause temporary blindness" That always cracked me up :lol::lol:

    I remember that too! Maybe it was just a Canadian thing? lol

    I like a good Gin Tonic every now and then, but after having read Moll Flanders, my Gin intake decreased a lot :?
    Please, Pearl Jam, consider a Benaroya Hall vinyl reissue!

    I remember that warning on grain alcohol here in the US.

    Tastes like a tree :) Truth!! The taste comes from the extract of Junpier berries. Next time you see one, crush the small 'cones' in your fingers, and have gin fingers for the rest of the day. mmmmmm gin fingers
    Sometimes I speak of nothing at all.

    A nice G & T with ice and a slice. Lovely on a summers evening. It won't take me away from my loyalty to cider though.

    Gin and tonics is by far my drink of choice. Love me some Tangurey! Tang-10 is damn good.
    Hendricks was on sale at the store yesterday for $30!! Grabbed two bottles! :lol:
    Tang is my go-to most of the time, but a Hendricks splurge is warranted every once and a while! Mmmmmm

    If you want to drunk gin and don't want it to taste like your drinking a glass of pine tree needles, get Bombay Sapphire. Very good.

    it's so fucked.....

    i've only had a few gins....but this is nothing like those....no wonder it was on sale.

    binnys.com lists it at 38. i paid 25 in store

    thinking i should have spent the extra 5 and got the 1.75L of tang

    might be the worst booze i've ever had. :fp:

    1207 you say....... :lol:

    Got me some tried and true Tang going on right now.

    Gin is sooooo hard to do right. 9 out of 10 small distillers will fail...from my experience.

    Pretty much why I stick to Tang and Hendricks. Can't go wrong!

    It's amazing how so many small distillers can do vodka pretty well, but f up gin!


    It's the same damn distilling process....with juniper and other botanicals.

    I don't get it.

    this is the first small batch that i have tried.....and last.

    it's like turpentine

    i think the issue is, they try to be fancy with the ingredients....to put their own little spin on it,....and ultimately fuck it up.

    i wish you could smell it.
