Favorite Gin

[hydro-terp]

For guys on a beer budget Seagrams makes a lime twist gin.

Pretty damn tastey in a gin and tonic. Used to go through this stuff by the half gallon.

Adding a shot of lime to a mixed drink was an old trick to mask the alcohol in an extra strong drink.

My neighbor is a Bombay fan and I always bring him back a bottle for looking after the house when we're on vacation.

I prefer Tanqueray Ten. The citrusy notes really appeal to me. I guess it's probably not a "traditional" gin as far as that goes, but I find it to be unique, refreshing and great for nosing.

Ahhh yeah. Now that would be something quite unique! FOr now, I'd settle for drinking some Ten while smoking my VSGs.

Had a really bad experiance as a teenager with Gordon's and Country time Lemonade mix...

Haven't tried it since.

Should I give it another shot? Maybe in a mixed drink?

Between Tanqueray and Bombay, I find Bombay to be too sweet. I like Tanqueray. As far as other gins, I have not tried many, Beefeaters and maybe a few others. But I didn't find them to make the G&T that Tanqueray did. TASTY!

I am a huge Bombay fan. One thing that I have noticed is that it has never given me any kind of hang over.

I was the same way first Tanqueray then the Sapphire, but then I tried Ten. I now rotate the Sapphire and the Ten but I really prefer the Ten.

Tanqueray, 3 ice cubes, 2 large olives, touch the glass to an unopened bottle of vermouth = perfection!!

:0 Now thats a dry martini! If you don't like adding too much vermouth and you like big olives... Tipsy Olives are fantastic.

I had a friend who tried to make his own gin by letting vodka steep in a bottle full of herbs and oils and god knows what for a year. Sorta like those fancy vinagar bottles you see with garlic and peppers. KE-RIST it was nasty.

 

[BlindedByScience]

Beefeaters, extra dry, with a twist, please (no nasty olives in my gin).

Cheers - !! - B.B.S.

I love that drink myself! :thumbs:



But to me, to actually be called a martini, the drink has to contain vermouth. Otherwise it's just gin on the rocks with olives!
