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

It's fabulous.

Absolutely fabulous?

The Botanist Islay gin]

It's fabulous.

It is fabulous. It used to sell so much better before they changed the bottle. The formula remained the Same. Good stuff

run it around the rim to finish. Always good, always refreshing.

Someone had to.....

As to the gin, this gin from vermont was really stellar by which I mean amazing: http://caledoniaspirits.com/spirit/gin/
.

That Barr Bill gin is so good. We sell the honey too. Cool group of people also.

Anyone ever had Brazos Gin? My local liquor store has it on super closeout, and I have to go there tomorrow morning for something else.

They are trying to get rid of it for a reason

AbFab!

[Buster Highmen]

great minds and all that.

To grill, G&T (Hendricks, found another bottle of Fever Tree and a whiff of roses) in hand.

81 today, now the evening breezes are coming across the woods and it's cooling.

JFP.

Bombay sapphire, lime wedge and lime concentrate with Fever Tree Indian Tonic. Schwepps is disgusting. I also enjoy a nice Vodka Tonic, same as above. Either Titos or Monopolowa Vodka.

Buster, what is this " roses" you speak of?

[berko]

I've been drinking, at times heavily, pretty much steadily for almost 40 years, and I've never even heard of white port.

Intriguing.

Curiosity was what led me to purchase my first bottle. WP tastes like the intersection of white wine, vermouth, and sherry. I guess a WP&T is an interesting wine spritzer.

Jack Rudy Tonic. You'll never drink schnepps again.

[Tye 1on]

If you really like G&T's, try a Myer's and tonic sometime.

[stuckathuntermtn]

It's more about how you mix it than the gin. And don't get big bottles of tonic water. Get cans or the little Canada Dry bottles. Otherwise you get a flat gnt.

Fuck that vodka shit though

So more info is required on the Islay gin - if it's peaty you're all douchebags.

Current view...

Carly to the right, Tanq tonic to the left...

[Cruiser]

Wint & Lila in the opaque white bottle is the bees knees when it comes to gt's. Really bright, elegant, citrus driven Spanish gin. But I'm not much of a tonic guy so I use Citadel for most of my gin cocktails and St George dry rye for my martinis. Leopold's new summer gin is mighty slick in that new school, less dry way if you're looking for something new and fabulous. But it's still hard to beat Hendricks for just good old fashioned sipping with a cube.

That reason is that it didn't sell, but that doesn't always mean that it isn't good.

Edit: No, I can't say what I was gonna say, but it's a very clean, dry gin. No hint of peat.

[2FUNKY]

That's what I was afraid of. Hoping it was something different.
Natural lime oil is where it's at bro.

No shit. My local store was clearing out High West 36th Vote Barreled Manhattan. Shit is fucking delicious! To many fireball drinking fuckers 'round here.

[Scotia902]

Try with a few slices of fresh cucumber rather than lime

[stuckathuntermtn]

Full of gnt and checking in.

[BmillsSkier]

Doesn't anyone drink fucking Beefeater anymore?

Can't miss dry gin. More dry and less botanical than Tanqueray and a nice alternative to Hendricks when you're feeling prolateriat.

+1 on the 8oz tonic bottles. Nothing worse than flat tonic. Fever Tree if you're feeling wealthy.

Fresh lime wedge. Dried out fruit ruins a drink.

Looks like I know what's on tap for this evening.

[krp8128]

Tangueray for me, with fresh lime.

usually get a 1 liter of tonic water, whatever is on sale, and make sure to use it within a few nights. I don't usually measure the gin.

had quite a few last weekend hanging with dad at camp, but they all tasted sweet to me, not crip. Thinking it was the tonic? I unintentionally took a different route up so my store options were limited and I ended up with grocery store brand diet tonic.

I seem to not get hangovers from proper G&T though, unless I seriously over indulge and go 5 or 6 deep in an evening

[Bobby Stainless]

Hendericks + Fever Tree + Lime + Spring Water Ice.

[The Tortoise]

Jack Rudy Tonic. You'll never drink schnepps again.

Tonic syrup for the fucking win.

It's even relatively easy to make at home.

Sapphire. And nothing cuts the thirst on a hot day like a G&T. My wife's parents are very British and when she was growing up on the farm they always had G&T after haymaking. Having helped them hay before they retired, I quite agree. If only my Dad had been clued in. Would have made handling loose hay a little more tolerable. There's a reason hay bales were invented. Oh, yes, where were we? Sapphire.
