The correct Gin and Tonic: List 'em up Maynard.

all good here btw. Slight buzz, nap soon, no worries. No drama, sorry.

**JimmyCarter** · 07-11-2017, 10:36 AM

Just use the rubbing alcohol in the medicine cabinet. Some fancy tonic water should take the edge off it.

Time to check the property for mortally wounded fauna.

**iceman** · 07-11-2017, 10:59 AM

I'm on it.

sounds like it's time to invest in a self driving car for the next time you're in this situation. That or a riding lawn mower......

Or just pull up Uber/Lyft.

Sure if that's available, then of course there's always a cab. Even here in W2 we have cabs but yanno... if you need alcohol that bad..... not judging... just sayin'

I wonder what a cynar and tonic tastes like?

"peaches and cream" was a drink we invented on a hut trip years ago, when all we had left was Baileys and Peach Schnapps.

It was not well received.

ice is probably napping at this point but that old red wine could be turned into kalimotxo with some Coke. Authentic plastic mixing bag optional.

on a related note, wife flew out of town early this AM and will be back around midnight, I got nothing I absolutely need to do, so I'm working a good day buzz here. Figure a nap for a couple hours this afternoon. What could go wrong?

Get wild with the gin my man.

No one's looking.

ETA: re your conundrum: do they have Uber eats in your area? I can order booze straight to my lazy asses' front porch without lifting more than a damned index finger. It's liberating.

Cynar, mmmm... old industry bar my buddy owned was known for offering only chilled shots of that. Good in a cocktail, questionable on it's own, chilled, and consumed 8 at a time in 2oz shots.

Ouch. As a G&T afionado, the summer Q and T is fantastic

I really think that Fever Tree and such are way more forward, better with heavier gins

Though I haven't been called a twat in about forever.

Sadly, I would not be able to hang with my 20 something self. I can barely get down a beer or four these day. A pint glass of Grey Goose would destroy me. Glory Days.

Who in the FUCK would bring peach schnapps on ANY trip?

Good question. Back in the day, before we wised up, we would have one person in charge of everything for the hut trip, and just rotate that person. So the organizer bought a metric shitton of every alcohol under the sun, and we all unhappily lugged it all up to the hut. And we did our damnedest to drink it all, until we got to the dregs. Peaches and Cream.

Seriously. Everyone knows you bring the doctor

Is that where Ice ended up? It was a bad idea to encourage a guy his age to walk that far.

I was a little amazed when my daughter caught an uber from here a few days ago, I had thought we were way too far in the boonies for that but clearly i was wrong.
