Handed your purchase through a bulletproof lazy susan, and drink pints of cheap gin into which they poured table packets of iodized salt.

vodka is best mixed w/ either orange juice or red bull

i'm not sure if this is good or bad but you never see people get angry and smash/toss a gin and tonic on tv so i assume good

i like the taste of tequila but the smell makes me feel ill

gin also mixes well with orange juice and ginger beer and most things. its a top, top spirit suitable for all occasions but in particular when you want to sit in the garden in the sun after work

Personally, I'm looking for something juniper-forward, but smoother and more refined than Beefeater so my go-to is:



Nice. I always have a bottle of Plymouth at home. Try the navy strength version if you can.

Gin is just the best.

sometimes i buy 1.5l of gilbys gin, and way less tonic water than i need, and i have gin and tonics for about 5 days or so, but then i run out of tonic water and i end up taking gin shots or gin that's neat and that's really gross but i still like gin more than vodka or whiskey but if i could afford good tequila i would just buy that i think

i'm sure nobody cares, but when i started living alone i was excited to be able to make gin and tonics whenever i wanted. then it turned out that tonic is kind of pricey and ice is a hassle so i just had straight gin and spent a couple of year marinating myself. now i still love it but can't drink it anymore because once i start i can't stop which isn't really great now that i have responsibilities. anyways, that's my story, thanks for listening.

if anyone is ever in vermont get the smuggler's notch 802 gin. it's the best imo, better than tanq 10 or whatever

I love gin, everyone should go drink gin. It mixes well with any kind of citrus, ginger, or lots of herbal stuff. I'm cheap and Trader Joe's has a very drinkable gin for $7. Gonna drink some more when I get home from work.

For those of you looking for an amazing yet inexpensive gin:



No joke, it makes better G&T than Sapphire, and here in Wisconsin you can get a 1.75l bottle for less than $20.

Another pro tip: The quality of tonic is way more important to a good G&T than the quality of gin.

what this means that you do not actually like gin, because that is a pretty terrible gin.


which is fine! not everybody has to like everything, no shame in it. but the thing that makes gin is juniper and new amsterdam has about as much juniper as my left nut. so not terrible like "badly distilled" or "will give you a raging hangover", just not really gin.

OTOH it's fine as a floral & citrus flavored not-gin and it makes a good bloody mary (just enough botanicals to complement rather than clash, I wouldn't want to use a broker's or plymouth for that). and it's cheap! good as a mixer.

Gin is cool. I don't know a ton of different gins but most everything is good in a G&T. I like the herbal taste of Bombay Blue Sapphire so that's been my poison lately.

I don't drink that often but Bombay Sapphire tastes like colonialism and tolerated misery, which gin should.
