Any Gin fans?

We’ve got bourbon, we’ve got beer, how about some Gin in here.

Well it was finally hot enough to make the switch from bourbon to Gin today.
This is my favorite of all time.
Tommy Rotter out of Buffalo.

Gin and tonic is the way when the weather warms up.

Hendricks, then Bombay sapphire are 2 &3. Aviation is fine if I’m into my 2nd or 3rd cocktail.
Gin tastings aren’t really all the rage I guess so sampling is a bit of a commitment and I’m pretty tough to sway from my top 3 so there you have it.

 

Me too!!! I don’t drink it anymore because of that…

 

Martini every night before dinner. Favorite gin was Bombay Sapphire but I've moved to Costco Kirkland London Dry Gin. Best tasting gin I've ever tried (and I've tried them all). Very, very smooth, no need for Vermouth, just straight out of the bottle over ice. $10 cheaper per 1.75 liter bottle than Bombay also.

Joining because my experimentation with gin lags way behind other spirits. I make a lot of old cocktails which call for gin and for those I typically use a basic London dry like Gordon’s, Boodles, or Tanqueray.
I also have Aviation Old Tom and Plymouth gin in the bar right now but I certainly don’t have a list of favorites. I would like to find a good fennel, sloe, 100 proof, and orange to add to the collection to make better and more authentic cocktails.

 

We use Gin in our Ceasars, which is similar to a bloody mary only 1000x better.

 

I’ve been known to enjoy a Tanqueray and squirt every now and then.

 

Old Tom gins can be as complex and tasty as single malts, way better than London Dry versions.

If you can find it, the New Deal Old Tom is damn good w that same tonic in the first post.

 

Mcqueen and the violet fog: really not too bad

Also enjoy trying the seasonal flavors for Hendricks from time to time

 

Gin is one of those alcohols that you either like it or you hate it.
I'm on the hate side.

 

This is the answer you’re looking for.

 

Don't think I've seen that at the ABC store. Don't drink much anymore but will keep my eyes peeled the next time I'm feelin thirsty

 

Don’t get me started on ABC stores!!!

 

only with juice... lol also i spy another head! weir everywhere!

 

There’s one on every corner on Oahu. We refer to them as “All Blocks Covered” stores.

 

The main alcohol store here in VA. Just looked it up, stands for "Alcoholic Beverage Control"

 

Where's home? We have total wine and costco with liq, but ABC is just a lot more common
