There was a small bar in the living room of my family's home years ago. Came with the house and amazingly this was in Utah.

Mom taught me how to mix a gin and tonic. She preferred a slice of orange on the lip. Now she could ask her ten year old to mix her a drink. Mom wasn't a lush or alcoholic at all but a couple times a week she'd ask me to mix her a drink.

I sampled it once, just a tiny sip, and found it so foul it kept me off hard liquor for the rest of my life.

Beer on the other hand is a different story.

Lot to unpack here. I'm not judging.

Tried gin once. Tasted like my tongue was being stabbed with pine needles.

I wonder if Vilod is still making that mead with Juniper Berries mixed in.

Ask me about my STD collection!
op is correct

however a gin and tonic with a splash of grapefruit juice is the best gin and tonic possible, and as I can no longer drink grapefruit juice I am pretty sad about this fact

Nice Tuckpointing!

gin is fantastic and I genuinely don't understand how anyone could prefer vodka to it

I'd rather my scents unscented and alcohol un-flavorful.

Gin is juniper flavored liquor.

So basically, Christmas tree flavored liquor.

I don’t taste it but I do have a drink that I like that I call “A Christmas Tree”: 2oz Gin (Tanqueray preferred), shake with ice and a sprig of Rosemary, pour and add ice and tonic/soda

Good stuff imo if you like pine, look a cool rear end dude

No gin sucks, it's terrible, it's for 19th century british sailors who like the taste of pine tar.













See, this is what you should be telling people, so that gin does not become popular and people keep thinking it is bad. Because look what happened to bourbon! Even loving evan williams on the bottom shelf is over $20 and anything aged more than 6 months is stupid expensive now. Gin is still cheap, let's keep it that way.
