can someone own too many gins?

[beetlebum]

hendrick's, bombay, beefeater, tanqueray, gordon's, etc.

i mean, i would never pass judgement! i like a gin and tonic or a dirty martini as much as the next guy!

 

[Laurel]

never

[beetlebum]

yesss, a cotton gin!

everybody should own one, in my opinion.

 

[Wings]

Like licking pine trees. Gross.

 

[girlsmiley]

Gin? Oooh.

That shit is nasty.

:goosebumps:

 

[IrezumiKiss]

Hendrick's is good.

Good good good good good good good.

 

[1sickbastard]

Only if one runs short of tonic, Vermouth and/or the appropriate condiments (limes, cocktail onions or olives).

wings & girlsmiley:
aww, really? you guys too? most of the people i drink with dislike it as well. i am an old soul i guess, i definitely love it; the flavor of juniper berries and the floral nuances, so damn tasty! i in fact, prefer it over the flavorless vodka... blehhh, i cringe when i hear people order a vodka martini! just plain awful.

irezumi:

YES.

that is my fave too. bombay sapphire and tanq ten come close, but nothing beats hendrick's.

Yes.

It starts with Beefeater and ends with Beefeater. In case of emergency, Gordon's can be substituted.

But that's it.

I had a bad experience with gin in high school and haven't touched it since.

I tried to do it like Snoop Dogg. You know - rolling down the street smoking endo, sipping on gin and juice.

Fail. Epic, epic fail.

 

[parodyluvr75]

I'm pro-gin. It tastes good and the bottle could be used in self-defense but only if its empty no sense wasting good gin.

 

[beetlebum]

this is one of my favorite cocktails and it is gin-based. good gawd, it's 11am and i'm like legit salivating over one.

sounds like you just need to revisit that libation in a more adult-like manner haha
i had the same happen to me with whiskey! i raided my dad's liquor cabinet and drank an entire bottle of JB with my friend, it was awful. i got violently ill that night. needless to say, i avoided whiskey like the plague, for like AGES...

but nowww, i'm all about a tasty single malts or a classy bourbon/rye!

 

[KRCummings]

Gin is nasty shit. Don't know how anyone drinks it. Like trying to swallow turpentine.

 

[beetlebum]

wow, didn't know this subject would divide the geebee in such a manner!

 

[SalviaDivinorum]

Gin is supposed to be mouth-puckering.
Berkeley Square is great with just a little tonic and Bols Genever is sweet enough to drink straight.

 

[Silverlily]

Yes.

You and I are done, I'm afraid.





Bombay.

i used to work for tanqueray gordon's (of gin and pimms repute). our office was adjacent to the factory, and all day long, for five years, the smell of gin was omnipresent. kind of put me off it for life.

that sounds amazing

i like pimms! it's hard to find a bar that stocks it here and even harder to get a bartender that knows how to mix a decent pimms cup!

bloody stuff was everywhere: up in the directors' offices on the top floor which we'd be invited up to on various occasions; the free bar downstairs some of us would frequent before heading into the pub next door - vodka, gimme vodka! straight from the freezer with a twist of lime. ahhhhhhh

all that gin you consume's affecting your tastebuds if you think vodka has none
