Gin & tonic appreciation thread

Gin + tonic + splash of lime = best drink. Discuss.

[Jowy]

Best drink is a Moscow Mule. Gin and tonics are a nice runner up though.

[Calliope]

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!

[Flying Mullet]

The only time I have blacked out when drinking was from a night of gin. Since that day we are amicably separated.

[Shorty]

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.

If your gin tastes like pine needles, it is time to drink better gin.

[Shorty]

Tanqueray is super pine-y to me but it seems like one of the most popular brands, and it ain't cheap.

I love me some New Amsterdam. It's so smooth!

[Spuuky]

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.

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.

Then again, I'm kind of spoiled because the only gin I drink nowadays isn't available outside of Colorado yet.

[Shorty]

I would prefer Bombay to Tanqueray.

[Flying Mullet]

Then it's a good thing that both are manufactured so everybody's happy.

[Spuuky]

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.

[Dr Unne]

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?
