Thanks to whomever started the Bombay Sapphire Gin and Fever-Tree tonic threads, I've become a fan of Gin.
It's something I'd swear I'd never be a few years back.
Since Bombay is my scale right now, how does the Hendrick's compare?
... regular white label Bombay...
As do I, don't need the extra alcohol when drinking G&T's, because like potato chips, you can't have just one. (Considering I make them in pint glasses!)Prefer it to the Sapphire. Also fond of Boodles gin.
It's 86 here right now...and you guys are makin' me mighty thirsty. Seagram's is my gin of choice for tonics. I have a couple of mugs dedicated for G&Ts...park 'em in the freezer for a couple of hours, pull 'em out when they're nice & frosty, add ice, a generous dollop of gin...and then enough lime to give the mixture an appealing faint blue hue. Swig heartily & repeat until prostrate
The Polar Diet Tonic with Lime is ideal. Of course, I also add fresh lime if available. Great summertime drink to cool me down!I often end up with Diet-Tonic in order to reduce calories. A sacrifice that this Diabetic is willing to take.
Probably goes along with me being a really picky eater, but I don't really like any kind of booze. But gin is in it's own awful world. Have at it!
Oh you don’t like booze. That explains your sentence regarding Gin. Not all Gin is the same. There are many different types of Gin, each with own unique tastes.
I tolerate most booze, but every GIn I've tried, wow, nothing but disgusting. Kind of like tomatoes. Yeah, I hate them big time.
Yum. There is nothing like a good tomato sandwich with mayo salt and pepper!
Long time Bombay Sapphire drinker for Martinis and G&T.
Lately, I prefer Hendricks for Martinis (very dry, up with Blue Cheese stuffed olives, shaken not stirred, thank you). However for G&T it is strictly Bombay Sapphire with fresh lime and good tonic water.
