Gin + tonic + splash of lime = best drink. Discuss.
Best drink is a Moscow Mule. Gin and tonics are a nice runner up though.
I prefer a whiskey ginger, with an old fashioned coming in second and a manhattan third. Fun fact: Neel bought me my first ever G&T. They're not bad!
The only time I have blacked out when drinking was from a night of gin. Since that day we are amicably separated.
Gin and tonics are my drink! I like the lime wedge but use a cucumber slice once in a while.
This is the best thread.

I love me some New Amsterdam. It's so smooth!
There are some expensive pine-y gins. There's nothing wrong with pine-y if that's what you are looking for.
Gin is easily the best liquor and it isn't very close, and Tonic is the simplest and probably best way to drink it.
Bombay Sapphire is better than Tanqueray if you're looking into the "popular, slightly expensive" brands.
It is largely a matter of taste, but Bombay Sapphire is one of the worst gins that is also one of the most popular. Tanqueray No. 10 is far and away better than Bombay.Quote:

Then again, I'm kind of spoiled because the only gin I drink nowadays isn't available outside of Colorado yet.
I would prefer Bombay to Tanqueray.
Then it's a good thing that both are manufactured so everybody's happy.
I didn't say it was the best gin, I said it was the best gin in that price range and reputation category. Which I still think is true.
I'm drinking Bombay Sapphire at this very moment. I've read reviews calling it everything from great to undrinkable. I like it fine myself. I'm drowning it in tonic anyways. I guess it is a matter of taste.
We're still comrades in arms. Gin is our weapon. Lack of gin is our enemy. I'm not sure where I'm going with this other than gin is good.
How many in are you?Quote:

What are you going to buy?
Knowing Sarah, a sixer of Schweppes Diet Tonic Water and bottle o' new amsterdam.
Close! You are the one who picks out sixers. I just go for the regular single liter. The rest is all spot on. :)
I was thinking peppermint schnapps just to throw a curve ball at us.
Oh ye little of faith. :colbert:
I drank a bottle of gin last Friday night. Because I like drinking from the bottle when I am drunk.
I kept trying to get people to take a drink of Christmas with me.
This thread inspired me to go buy some tonic.
Thank you.
Yes.
:up:
No lime for me, please.
....I like beer. Delicious wonderful CRAFT beer, not that watered down bud light bulltrout! I don't really touch liquor at all...
This thread seems to make some wild assumptions. People over the age of majority are able to not have had gin, and people under the age of majority are more than capable of having gin.
But look that's just semantics. Let's have a drink and forget about it. :cheers:
A woman named Ginny was a bitch to me. I don't like gin anymore.
Just sayin'.
It's not bad but it isn't something I would enjoy.
I don't think I've ever had gin. I've been enjoying some good bourbon the past few months though. Is it time for me to venture out and expand my horizons?
Yes!
#eoff gin party to get us through the terrible server move
smurf all you and your classy drinks. Nothing beats a solid working-class pint of Hobgoblin, bag of pork scratchings and a flirty wink from the barmaid.
Get out of here with your peasant drinks. Your kind isn't welcome here.
check your alcoholic beverage privilege.
You are the biggest hipster on his forum right now.
Funny, I'm trying to get into bourbon. Yes, you should try gin.Quote:

Any suggestions?
Anything. Literally anything is better than Beefeater.

I love G+T and many other gin drinks, although I'm definitely not very particular about brand. Lately, whisky has my attention.
Seriously? No one posted this yet?
Good grief.
I have never had gin. I've always associated it with things that are not my style.. *coughGHETTOcough* .. No seriously .. I've only ever seen people in the ghetto drink it. Every now and then someone in a restaurant would order it , but hardly ever.
I'll try it someday. Maybe Shorty can school me. Shorty.. When I think of you and gin, I think of the orphanage lady in "Annie". JS.
Too easy.
I'm feeling supersonic, give me gin and tonic:D
I've had GnT sorbet, very nice.
I don't like gin. Or whiskey. Or brandy. Or rum. Well, not on their own, with tonic or a soft drink. I could drink any in a fruity cocktail of some sort.
I don't mind vodka or schnapps, but I much prefer lager.
G&T!
This is why you mix it with tonic water, so you can enjoy your gin and keep your middle class sensibilities intact.Quote:

That's a lot of words. Beer plus gin... is that really a thing? What kind of beer?Quote:

Oh man, is it ever a thing! There are tons of recipes, but my local craft beer bar makes this:
-hopped gin
-gran marnier splash
-squeezed lemon and grapefruit (or juice)
-top with IPA after shaking and pouring over ice
-can use zest from fruit as garnish
It's SO GOOD. Man, now I'm gonna go get one this week sometime.
Isn't this one of Quin's names? I dun appreciate Quin. He is an infestation. Like the xenomorph creatures from the Alien's franchise. Laying his eggs all over EoFF. :(
Can someone change his name to Quinomorph Queen? :(
i still like a G&T, they are a great drink!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't believe I was Quin 'n' Tonic at the time this thread was conceived.
The Quinomorph infestation has started in this thread!
