Gin.

[Os Cangaceiros]

Anyone know of any good drinks to make with gin? I've never drank gin before but a recent conversation I had about it with some other people prompted me to buy a bottle of Tanqueray to try it out. I've been told that it's terrible to drink straight...usually I'll just drink liquor (mostly bourbon or scotch) straight, or on ice...the guy at the liquor store recommended just serving it with some lime juice & ice.

Anyway, any gin fans here?

[Trap Queen Voxxy]

Pretty much anything but Seven Up or Sprite with ice is always my fav even if you get shit gin like Bankers Club, Crystal Palace, etc. I usually drink it neat or with ice, well, when I did drink anyways.

[Os Cangaceiros]

Yeah I've been trying to cut back on the ol' alk-eee-haul-ism, personally. But I only really drink to excess in social environments. Usually if I'm drinking by myself I'll cap it off after one or two drinks, it's much healthier for me.

I had the exact opposite mentality and that was the problem, lol, sounds way better.

I wouldn't bother with it. My sister bought a bottle because of snoop dogg and everyone agreed that it was awful.

straight gin is terrible. I mixed it with some lime flavored sparkling water and from what I remember that wasn't entirely unpleasant.

[Decolonize The Left]

For gin and tonics and gimlets I don't think you need anything more expensive than Seagram's. For martinis I have found Citadel to be the absolute best. I go heavy on the Dolin dry vermouth (four parts gin to one part vermouth; i.e. 2 oz gin to 0.5 oz vermouth per drink). I think that Hendrick's on the rocks with a lemon twist is a nice drink as well.

Tanqueray is a fine gin. I wouldn't waste it with tonic so I'd drink it on the rocks with a twist or in the above stated martini.

You could also make a nice negroni but that is a totally different flavor.

Cheers.

[Os Cangaceiros]

I mixed the gin in with some seltzer water & ice and squeezed some fresh lime juice in the mix. Tastes pretty good, interesting dry aftertaste. I like it.

[#FF0000]

gin owns i love gin.

I think the best thing about it is that you really don't need to spend much for good stuff. Like, Gordon's is $20 and comes in a plastic bottle and it's still pretty good stuff. I like Beefeater a lot too but goddamn I can hardly justify dropping $40 on a bottle because I'm cheap beyond reason.

Gin is also one of the few liquors that I drink straight and kind of like.

[Blake's Baby]

The cheaper the gin the more you have to mix it, that's pretty much a given.

Indian tonic water is the classic mixer. Or bitter lemon.

I like Hendricks with a slice of cucumber and ice.

I tend not to like mixing different types of booze. Tends to make me sick. I don't really drink beer anymore.

[Os Cangaceiros]

I was told that it tasted terrible. But I'll probably take a shot of it and decide for myself at some point. I was told that it tasted "like a spruce tree" which didn't sound that bad, so maybe it isn't so terrible.

[Blake's Baby]

No-one else knows what spruce tea tastes like.

'What does panda taste like? Surprisingly like rhino, actually'.

Cheap gin tastes like you accidently sprayed your tongue with hairspray. Perhaps your informant has only drunk cheap gin.

[Quail]

I always thought that gin was terrible, until someone gave me a glass of relatively nice gin (i.e., not "value" or supermarket own brand) and it was surprisingly delicious. Gin and tonic is nice, but actually it's good on its own.

Unless it's cheap gin, which is barely drinkable.

[Trap Queen Voxxy]

Gin is the only spirit whose taste I appreciate, everything else is gross unless infused with things like honey or coconut or lime. I think it taste amazing like 7up. Spruce tea is pretty good too ftr, lolol.

[Vladimir Innit Lenin]

Same with most spirits.

I didn't appreciate that Vodka could be nice until I tasted a very nice one.

Without meaning to sound rude how old are you guys? I'm 20 and have honestly never met one gin drinker my age! To be honest we all consider it horrible stuff on it's own or with tonic. Coke can help hide it's taste though!

I didn't realise I liked gin until I was 23. Probably because I was put off it by a friend making me a huge glass of half tesco value gin, half tonic when I was 16 and it was really, really nasty.

I love neat booze, I never drink it with a mixer, although sometimes I like drinking screw drivers and sometimes add ice to stuff. I especially like the taste of gin.

What is cheap gin in Britain? I think we sell most of Gordon's at the duty free on my ship, that is maybe the cheapest we sell. Best one I can afford to buy casually is probably Bombay Sapphire.

Cheap gin might look like this:

From the Daily Mail I think (I just googled cheap gin).

It has 'a strange rubbery taste behind the citrus' apparently. From the Co-op. Sounds nasty.

[Quail]

Sainsbury's basics gin tastes a bit like lime with some kind of indistinguishable awful aftertaste. I mixed it with tonic and couldn't drink it without pulling weird faces. But I felt bad wasting it so...

[Creative Destruction]

It's weird that the brand being parodied on the cover is Absolut, a vodka brand...

it's a lot more attractive bottle than Tanqueray or something.

[Creative Destruction]

the last time i had gin, i had a bad reaction to it. like, i couldn't breath and it felt like my lungs were closing up. which was weird. i took a benadryl and it calmed down.

i guess that means i'm allergic to juniper berries. where i used to live, there was tons of them and there was even a seasonal malady called "cedar fever" that a lot of people got which was caused by juniper pollen. i was one of the lucky ones in the area that never was affected by this. but i've always hated the smell of juniper trees anyway. i guess i figured i would be able to tolerate it if it was in alcohol form. nope.

[Os Cangaceiros]

Same with most spirits.

I didn't appreciate that Vodka could be nice until I tasted a very nice one.

Oh yeah, I despise vodka. Except Grey Goose. Grey Goose is alright. Kind of pricey though. I've heard that Belvedere is good too but I've never had it. Cheap shit like Monarch is absolutely repulsive, though. My parents drink that nasty shit, ugh.

[Creative Destruction]

the only vodka i could really like was from a distillery called Tito's...and since vodka is really only good for mixing, this one was particularly nice. it didn't have as bad a taste as other, cheaper vodkas.

but, as for distilled potato liquors, i favor akvavit. if nothing else, but for nostalgia.

[Os Cangaceiros]

I'm 25 and no one in my peer group drinks gin. Mostly they just drink beer or bourbon whiskey. One Russian girl I know drinks a lot of vodka. This other guy really likes brandy. Once in a while someone will get some rum, almost never scotch although I've turned a couple people on to that.

[ed miliband]

plenty of young british people drink gin. rarely venture away from ale personally, but if i do it'll be for gin or whiskey of some sort, or occasionally wine.

Good news, Crystal Palace and I think Bankers Club are only like 15 bucks per litre! atleast were I live. Bankers club makes I assume barely not blindness inducing version of a every popular spirit from gin to whiskey to vodka to tequila at dirt prices but the taste is reminiscent of kerosine or nail polish remover depending on the spirit. I'm a bottom shelf connoisseur.

[Creative Destruction]

this is where Steele Reserve comes in.

[SHORAS]

There are lots of vodkas but Stolichnaya has always had a good reputation. A USSR export vodka. Recently had a bottle of Smirnoff Vanilla, very nice.

As others have also said I didn't use to like spirits neat, they all seemed to taste like firewater. But recently started getting into them, a little too much. I used to mix American whisky with cola but now drink it neat.

So far I am rating yank whisky in the following order:


1. Jim Beam Honey
2. Jack Daniels
3. Wild Turkey 81
4 Jim Beam

Probably going to try Buffalo Trace next as it's quite highly regarded and readily available unlike many other American whiskeys.

[Os Cangaceiros]

I kind of went through a brief "honey liquor" period about a year or so back, namely Jack Daniels Honey, which I think is pretty damn good. Kind of strikes a middle ground between Barenjager (which is like honey alcohol syrup, too strong honey taste IMO) and Bushmill's honey, which has less of a honey flavor than JDH.

I've never had Jim Beam's honey liquor, though.

[Creative Destruction]

Knob Creek and Basil Hayden's (both from Jim Beam) are very good American whiskeys.

anyone who mixes or shoots whiskey should be shot, tbf.

[Os Cangaceiros]

haha, I shoot whiskey often! :lol:

[Creative Destruction]

why would you waste whiskey like that?

[Os Cangaceiros]

How is it being wasted? It's going into my body and making me intoxicated. Mission accomplished.

[Creative Destruction]

if getting intoxicated is your only intent when drinking whiskey, don't. just go pick up some cheap wine or a couple of malts at the corner store.

[Os Cangaceiros]

Well I don't drink whiskey to savor the exquisite flavor of the drink or anything, although at this point I've drank a wide variety of all manner of whiskey, but esp. Canadian whiskey and Kentucky/Tennessee bourbon/whiskey, and I'd like to think that I can separate the wheat from the chaff at this point. Mostly when I'm drinking whiskey at the bar, I'll drink it neat in a tumbler or something, and I won't down it. But if I'm drinking with my friends it's usually shots until the fifth is empty, and after that possibly more. Yeah, it's a problem. R&R (affectionately refered to as "nar nar") is a favorite for that kind of thing, simply because of how dirt cheap it is, as is Early Times and Black Velvet. All trash, IMO.

I hate wine and sugary drinks, for the most part. I'm not big into beer either.

[SHORAS]

Whisky does have a lot more flavour than I first thought and it changes greatly depending how you drink it. I wouldn't say loads of flavour like all the bullshit the distilleries come out with. But, it's good to try it on its own, with a tiny amount of water, with a bit more water - but careful not to drown it with too much. I still don't mind a whisky and soda but it is a bit of a waste. I wouldn't do it with an expensive whisky (most of them in this country!) or something I really liked.

Wine I've found is very difficult and pretty random to get something enjoyable to drink, in my experience you have to spend a little money. Don't buy the bargain basement stuff. The problem with wine is you can have something great and then you will never have it ever again because bottle to bottle, case to case, year to year it all fucking changes. And you have to eat with wine ideally.

[Rafiq]

I distaste all club drinks, flavored liquor and so forth. Liqueurs are good occasionally, but just barely, and only in the right context. As far as whiskey goes, I give preference to Jameson. Oft I have found that gin is better in the winter, whiskies and brandies in spring and summer.

well, whiskey is meant to be savored and embraced, which means it should never be shot. bad whiskeys just shouldn't be consumed at all. here, though, "cheap" doesn't necessarily mean "bad". when i didn't have a lot of money, Canadian Mist was often my fall back and it really wasn't that bad of a drink, all things considered.

Sloe-Gin: Harvest sloe berries from the blackthorn tree/bush at the end of summer. Wash and prick the berries. Get hold of some cheap gin and three quarters fill a demijohn or other similar vessel with the gin. Add the berries. Add a pound of sugar. Seal and leave over winter. Occasionally give the vessel a shake over the course of the winter. In the spring, siphon off the liqueur (now a deep shade of pink) into bottles leaving the remnants of the berries behind. what you have there is sloe-gin. It's unbelievably georgeous to drink and will get you pissed in no time. You can also make sloe-vodka.

[Os Cangaceiros]

Drinking gin is like drinking a liquid spruce tree.

Also, why does gin make my brain feel hot? I swear it's the only hard-a that does that for me. Most others like whiskey will give me a nice warm feeling in my body, but only gin will make me feel like my brain is being boiled inside my skull. Must be all those "herbs and botanicals" I hear so much about.

Not sure if anyone else mentioned it because I don't feel like looking through 4 pages

1 shot gin
6oz tonic water
lemon juice to taste
Optional: syrup or sugar

I usually skip the syrup/sugar, double up the gin, and go heavy on the lemon if the gin's cheap

I always thought it tasted like juniper berries

[Futility Personified]

wait wait wait wait, the whiskey? I heavily dispute this. There was a time when that stuff was cheap as chips in Wetherspoons and not only was it chuggable and vaguely fruity, it had both the chillout in the sun vibe to it and the "call the police, he's tonguing the elderly" make stuff happen enthusiastic life affirming vigour of deliciousness.

[SHORAS]

Found it very weak and watery. Talking of Weatherspoons tho, had Bulleit Bourbon in there years ago and it was good. Very different to anything else at the time it seemed. Might have imagined that tho. Probably stick to the well known method of buying whatever's reduced in future.

p.s for those who like Whiskey try Penderyn, the only Welsh whiskey. It's really good stuff but slightly pricey. You can buy it direct here http://www.welsh-whisky.co.uk/

Penderyn is absolutely brilliant, definitely worth the price. You tried Maker's Mark? It's relatively cheap (about... £4:50 for a double?) and if the memory serves it has a fair kick but is nice to savor. Smells delicious too.

Penderyn is massively-expensive, third rate, paint stripper. That said, what would you expect from a whisky from Merthyr? Had they been trapped in that part of the world, one might reasonably have expected Doc and Marty McFly to be able to get a DeLorean to start with Penderyn.

Shoras - I did at boomtown courtesy of my friend but I got a little bit twisted and can't really remember the taste though that generally happens with most things so I guess i'm a philistine in that regard. I'm not sure which one it was, though it had been aged quite a while it was mixed with awful cola. Overall it was one of the nicest things I had ever drank in my whole life, the earliest opportunity to interrogate him, I will do so. (only slightly drunk now upon waking up)
