The new found fad for the pretentious skinny jean wearing, bearded w*nk buckets. Glass the size of a vase filled with half a cactus and pomegranate, ooh you can really pick out the Rosemary notes. While 15 minutes later you are still waiting for a Bud to be grabbed out the fridge while this entry for the Turner Art Prize is still being created. Tossers.
Anyone ordering a Gin should be asked where their nan and grandad are sitting, and if they haven't got them with them they should be thrown out the pub.
Blimey, I had no idea you had this much hatred for me, although you know full well I struggle on the beard front.

That is my garden drink for tonight, So I'm not left with flat Fevertree tonic in the fridge I will pour the lot into a pint glass with the appropriate measure of gin. There will be ice and slice in this, I'm sure that's allowed.

Ive no idea what to do first. Throw out 6 bottles of Gordons and the 3 pair of skinny jeans or have a shave?
I've heard a lot of mention of fever tree. What makes it special? I'll get some to try.
It's got more flavour than the supermarket ones I normally but. Enhances your Gordon's no end. Perhaps wasted on a really flavoursome gin.
Speaking of gin, if you get the chance find a bottle of "The Botanist". It's brewed in an Islay whisky still, but what's important is that it's lush Especially with fever tree.

Will stick to lager when I next see you... :-(
Have you got a beard?
Haha, I meant to type beard but got autocorrected to beer, which actually says quite a lot about the state of my life at the minute... :-)
Try fevertree once and you'll never go back to that Schweppes pish. It's clean and not full of artificial crap. If I've spent money on a decent gin i don't want to dilute it 3:1 with aspartame.

ha, proper laughing @AFKABartram. I can just imagine D & R in the Albany with them in their hands lol.
Gin is the devil, had the odd one. But in January my mate done me almost a pint of it with a drop of tonic, afterwards my memory was very hazy and resulted in my ex leaving. Sad times lol
Over the last few years I have really developed a liking for Ginger Ale - especially the Canada Dry stuff we get over here - perfect with a big slug of dark rum - probably down to some deep seated personality disorder...

Rum & Ginger Ale is bloody lovely. Yum. +1 to that.
One nice simple G n T with just ice and a slice of lemon is great before dinner. You don't need all the poncy additions, though some of them are okay (cucumber, juniper berries for example), they are not essential.
I used to drink cider a bit back in the day. (Sometimes mixed with Guinness as a poor-man's black velvet.) Rarely touch it now.
Tried a Magners (sic) the other day and was really, really disappointed. I tried to ignore the missing apostrophe in the brand name, it's Irish after all, and judge it on its merits. But sorry to say I found it to be bland nonsense with little actual apple flavour.
So in short, I think things ought to taste of things they are made from. Crisps should taste of potatoes. Cider, well apples. If I wanted something that tasted of orange I'd buy orange. (Or more likely a Grand Marnier: at least it has actual distilled orange essence mixed with the cognac.)
Just ordered a 35 pint bag in a box of Orchard Pig Ginger and Chilli Cider. Had some last year in Bristol and it was the most refreshing drink I have tasted. Works out at £2.20 a pint too so much better value than the £5.50 I paid for inferior stuff last weekend.

Since then I've had about 250 of them!!
Had a similar revelation with Guinness in the winter!

Especially with fever tree.
Small family run firm in Leitrim, Ireland, also got whiskey coming along in a few years.

Had it in Crickhowell, which is, frankly, a bit of a trek.
