Of course, in the winter, that becomes a martini, 2 gin:1 vermouth, splash of the olive juice. warms you right up.

fever-tree makes a good tonic, but their ginger beer went from great to poo poo in the matter of a few years. not optimistic they'll keep up the quality of the tonic

It's an acquired taste.

It's actually an interesting topic, and one entirely down to taste, but it essentially boils down to how far back you go. The original martinis around the turn of he century were closer to 1:1, but the taste moved away from vermouth as gins became more palatable and needed less covering up. Personally, since I like a vermouth heavy martini, and so do my folks, it works fine.

OctoberBlues posted:Cheap gin is a great drink for people who are in denial about being alcoholics - because drinking cheap vodka is admitting to yourself that you are indeed an alcoholic, there is at least some plausible deniability with cheap gin. Cheap vodka will also make your face fall off. Ask me how I know.

Gin is better than tequila, but that's not really saying much. (See you guys later, I'm heading over to the bourbon thread.)

I learned to drink on Beefeater. Hendricks is also good. Bombay and Tanqueray are also good, but I prefer the former two over the latter. Particularly Beefeater for martinis. smdh if you drink vodka martinis, smdh.

Gin and tonic was invented as a way to prevent the lower middle class who were sent out to run banks and poo poo from making babies with the colonial natives, thus avoiding the irregularity of half-caste persons.

I have never had it since Gin isn't for drinking on its own, it's pretty gross like that. But if you just put some tonic water in it and a squeeze of lime, it turns into something magical via some sort of alchemy. I'm gonna put my SUPER SECRET DON'T STEAL recipe for gin and tonic in this post: Mix gin and tonic in a glass. Put lime and ice in. Congratulations, you have a delicious refreshing alcoholic drink that's perfect for sitting in the sunshine and feeling good. The beauty of G&T is that even cheap gin works pretty good, and you can have it nice and strong without it being overpowering, taste-wise.
