Hendricks Gin

[anacostiakat]

I have never been a big gin drinker. Mostly a summer sensation with gin, tonic and a lime twist.

But anyone who has not tried this gin should! It is very smooth with hints of cucumber.

Oh and makes a nice gin rickey as well IMHO!

That does it I am mixing some up tonight! LOL! I just talked myself into it! :-D

You know its funky when the packaging tells you that even gin drinkers may not like the unique taste. This stuff is just hideous. I have never, and hopefully never again will, taste a gin such as Hendrick's.

Good luck to you. Thats why some of these hobbies of opurs are so enjoyable. There are as many palates as there are drinks/smokes.

To each his own poison.

I love it, and my wife loves it. It's a good gin, you just have to be able to appreciate the cucumber thing.

My wife gave up drinking 12 years ago.

....this could be the thing to get her started again ;-)

I hope, that like a real man, you picked up her slack ;-)

I agree ... I like Hendricks with a splash of tonic. No lime for me. Very unique taste that I prefer to stand alone. I did, though, once try to make a not-so-dry martini with Hendricks. Big mistake. Almost had to pay respects to the porcelain god.

Excellent Gin. I enjoy Bombay Sapphire first-most; but this is quite fine and no complaints if it's the only thing within reach!

Hey Jim how are you... I have not had the Hendrick's but have been drinking one called Plymoth which is quite good. It has a very bright and crisp taste. I still like Tanqueray the best for J&T's.

I like Hendricks. It's different - I usually drink it straight up for martinis. Try Magellan gin. It's great - very smooth! When it first came out, it had a blue tinge to it, but now it comes clear. Guess the color was a little offputting - looked like you were drinking Windex!

Hey Reid, feeling much better thanks.

Yea Plymouth is very smooth and I like it too. Wasnt Plymouth the favorite of Roosevelt?

I find it doesnt have the bite of some and I like that.
