wiffleball 4,799 Posted June 15, 2007 Had it for the first time last night. Apparently, some really good shiit that an ex brought me from Finland. The damn bottle's about 4 years old just b/c of all the drama that the giver brought with it. But last night, I said "fock it". Had it with diet 7-up - and, to my surprise - it was pretty good. Coulda used a lime or a lemon, but it was still pretty decent. Though, it tends to sneak up you.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Patriotsfatboy1 1,433 Posted June 15, 2007 Bombay Sapphire ain't bad. A gin and tonic or a martini as a change of pace is okay. Personally, I think that I am drinking pine tar with most gins Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PastorOfMuppets 0 Posted June 15, 2007 I hate gin, but it's Cold Gin time again. Followed by "DETROIT ROCK CITY" As far as drinking gin ... skip the 7-UP next time, and try it with club soda and a twist of lime ... much better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rusty Syringes 479 Posted June 15, 2007 There's a bottle at my parents' house. It's probably been there for 40 years. Anytime the folks would get on my nerves, I'd just reach in there, grab that gin bottle and take a swig. Isn't gin just vodka with a bunch of added crap in it?

paulinstl 296 Posted June 15, 2007 Did you know that Hitler had to quit drinking gin. It made him mean. Isn't gin just vodka with a bunch of added crap in it? You could say that, I guess. It's a white grain spirit, like vodka, but gin is flavored with juniper berries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As far as drinking gin ... skip the 7-UP next time, and try it with club soda and a twist of lime ... much better. My Mom used to do the club soda / tonic & gin crap. - Yuck. If I'm going to use that stuff as a mixer, I might as well take that glass of water that's been sitting by my bed for 2 nights and use that. Never understood what people saw in that stuff. Blech.

wiffleball 4,799 Posted June 15, 2007 Riiiiiight ... as opposed to that GREAT 7-UP mixer you indulged in ... uh-huh Hey, if you enjoy flat tapwater, feel free. More for you. And it's DIET 7-up. The other chiit's waay too sweet. (actually, I prefer diet Sierra Mist) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PastorOfMuppets 0 Posted June 15, 2007 And it's DIET 7-up. The other chiit's waay too sweet. Agreed ... DIET may not be too bad, but, if I'm going to add a carbonated mixer, I prefer straight up Club Soda ... To each their own. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IGotWorms 4,063 Posted June 15, 2007 Gin is my favorite. It does tend to snowball though. I usually hold myself to a limit of two gin and tonics in a night, unless I am planning on getting really slammed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tusekan Raiders 0 Posted June 16, 2007 I've tried Gin and Tonic and thought it was gross. Don't get one with that well swill like Fleischman's, get one with Tanqueray or Bombay Sapphire. A good Tanq and tonic is an excellent summer drink, clean and refreshing taste. Tanq is a little too stong for a martini, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
