Gin & Tonic

[Jeltz]

I said that I've never tried Gin & Tonic and Mrs J told me men don't drink G&T, hurumpf!

Well do we!

 

[lagaffe]

Well, I do! Started back at New Year - bought some in for my Dad as he's become partial to the odd G&T, and ended up making myself one. It was lovely - so much more refreshing and less gassy than drinking beers! It's especially nice on a warm night like tonight.

Just got a litre of Hendrick's Gin today from someone who bought it for me in duty-free; beautiful stuff - very different from other gins. First tried it in the pub last Friday and decided it was worth treating myself to. In fact, I'm just finishing a tall glass of it right now as I type. *slurp*

 

[Blyth Spirit]

When I could drink I was always partial to a G&T or several. Preferably made with Beefeater Gin - I wouldn't have washed the car with Gordons!

Becks Blue? Er, that'll be for me........

[Dr Rick]

We certainly do. Never heard such tommyrot!

Bombay Sapphire
Tonic
Ice
Squirt of lime

Yumm

 

[Dr Rick]

Now, there's a question - lemon, or lime? I am a lime man myself, when I can get it, but apparently the master distiller at Beefeater disagrees: http://www.cantrell.org.uk/david/journal/id/gin-tasting

Hendrick's Gin is supposed to be served with a slice of cucumber.

Makes quite a nice change to limes!

Hiya,

Man, I love a good Gin and Tonic, especially in hot weather. Long as the tonic's fresh and bubbly and there's some fresh lime in the mix, it's a hard drink to screw up. Of course the gin does have something to do with the finished product,

Over the years I've sampled some pretty nice gins, and for whatever the reason, I decided on Beefeaters to keep in the freezer.

I certainly do. I've become especially partial to them lately. Not something I'd order down the pub, but in a restaurant or nice bar then certainly. Not with lime though, that's just wrong.

 

[Smell The Glove]

Every now and then I take a notion for a G&T. A summertime drink for me.

 

[Arrowhead]

Yes, though I'm not altogether sure that it isn't better without the gin. Goes very well with Nanny's Yushu, by the way.

 

[shrink]

oh hell yeah.. i love a G&T.. its my lounging drink of choice:

-prepare a tumbler filled with large ice cubes
-squeeze one lime wedge over the ice and run around the rim of the glass
-chuck in a fresh wedge of lime into the glass
-pour one measure of Bombay Sapphire
-Top up with Schweppes Tonic
-sit back
-enjoy

Bombay Sapphire, Hendricks and one other that name escapes me.

Lovely summer drink.

 

[Big.Dave]

Bombay Sapphire a good tonic and a slice of lemon just the thing for relaxing with on a hot summers night

 

[NOTSHARP]

Gin : Plymouth ( Red Label if possible )
Tonic : Fever Tree
A wedge of Lime.

I keep the gin and the tonic in the fridge, so there is no need for ice :icon_rolleyes:

OH yes men do drink Gin............Plymouth and forget the tonic...Its nice just by itself.....If you put tonic in you'll be drinking it like pop and end up depressed......A side effect of Gin unfortunately.
