Gin and tonic

[DG55]

No. Just no.

This topic is wrong! G&T appreciation? Have you gone mad!

Gin tastes of soap and has the aroma of plastic.

I have the same relationship with tequila. I can put up with anything else (even whisky which I'm no great fan of) if it's the difference between drunkeness and sobriety but tequila? Foul stuff! Diesel oil is palatable by comparison.

You've not had a proper Margarita, then, have you?

Same principle as gin: own own rank, in the right company lush. Too lush by half.

When I was about 16 a bunch of us borrowed various booze from the local freemasons (long story). Knowing no better, we tried the gin neat - and broke in again to put it back, which is why I can say "borrowed".

Anything drink that needs another drink to go with it to make it palatable is dodgy if you ask me.

Drink wiskey you bunch of jessies

If I can't have a nice pint of real ale (or if I've already had too many) a nice G&T goes down just the ticket

Double gin, a sploosh of tonic (not swamped with a whole bottle) and a slice of lime. YUM!!

Why this sillyness of putting "tonic" into a perfect drink...?

So far one of the best renting expereinces of my life was when I had a live-in landlady who used to keep a ginourmous bottle of gin beside her bed. Every time I paid her in cash (and whenever I bumped into her in between) she would give me a huge glass of the stuff.

Top woman...!

A nice glass of Sloe Gin goes down a treat too...

My Dad had a friend who used to drink neat gin. Apparently the secret is to try and think of it as a liqueur. Bleurgh.

gin and bitter lemon work very well

Gin and tonic is a lovely drink but it has to be served Long

 

[wrysmile]

Oooh - we love a G&T in our house. It's only made me cry once, although I'm teased about it a lot. It's a drink to savour though, not to get drunk on.

 

[rennie]

Gin = yeuch! My taste buds do not compute. If it were the last alcoholic drink on the planet I'd be teetotal. Yeuch!!!!!!!!!!

same here!

Hendricks gin + tonic with a slice of cucumber instead of lemon is lush.

Seconded.

Hendricks only 1 in a 1000 gin drinkers like it!

Well that's what the label that comes with the bottle says. I like it with a squeeze of lime as well.

Just make sure you don't get gin and a "bit of lemon" as one of my friends once served someone

hendricks and I have a very special love affair

gotta be Tanqueray and Schwepps tonic with ice and lime, Bombay is too "perfumey".
