[El Presidente]

I am on my 5th. Can't see a problem

I like your thinking.

Love it!!! Do they have a Gin over there called "The Botanist"? It's amazing!

Just finished the Bombay Sapphire. haven't seen "The Botanist" as yet but will keep my eyes peeled. Normally it is is "Hendricks" with a slice of cucumber.

5th? No wonder you can't see. ;-)

Vodka martinis for me tonight. Enjoy yours!

My wife loves Hendricks, just as you described. I, however, am not a gin fan.

To each his own.

There are days where I just get in the "mood" for a little trouble. This is one of them

[TankerT]

Yeah... but after your 10th... you'll sweat that that Quintero is better than the Behike 52 in your humidor...

You know what gin eventually leads to....

That's precisely why I don't keep either.

Since I've joined the forum I've been filling the exploits of the prez. Got to say I've started planning a new vacation to australia just to visit the boys.

What else is there to see over there. The water in the toilet run the opposite way and the prez.

Hopefully two Weeks is enough.

Gin and Tonics are one of life's little mysteries. Gin on its own, not so great. Tonic on its own is borderline awful. But you put the two together and squeeze a little lime (or cucumber) and you've got one of the tastiest most refreshing drinks out there. I don't know how it works, but I'm glad it does!

X2 for sure. Far better than the sum of its parts.

Make sure you use Hendricks Gin as it contains cucumber essence. Doesn't work well with other gins.

Try Tanqueray Ten that's my favorite gin. Also pretty good is Millers Gin Westbourne Strength. Both go very well with cigars.

Love them all the way! Hendricks one's are my favorite but tanqueray Rangpur or some safron gin ones are delightful also

[ZinZan]

I dont get Gin and tonic but i do like gin and 7up/sprite. Its prob sacrilege to all the gin lovers.

[mazolaman]

Another vote for Hendricks....G and T on a summers day...lovely.

I'll second that. It's made by the Bruichladdich distillery on Islay. The other scottish Gin (Hendricks) is great as well though (not that I'm bias!).

[First Lady]

You Are ruining it with tonic just straight gin with fresh lime juice and ice ...You are getting soft in your old age Rob

Good info, I wasn't aware of that. Thanks

[cgarner]

I've never tried the Gins referred to in this thread. Has anyone tried Beefeater and if so how doses it compare?

[canadianbeaver]

Another vote for Hendricks with a slice of lime in mine. But I have to be careful because I couple and I am loaded.
