Serious question, what is the attraction to Gin? Only thing I can compare the taste to is perfume.1

Blimey, I had no idea you had this much hatred for me, although you know full well I struggle on the beard front.AFKABartram said:
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.

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.
Will stick to lager when I next see you... :-(1 -
I'll be honest, hated G+T up until about 3 weeks ago when I just started really liking it.
Since then I've had about 250 of them!!
Had a similar revelation with Guinness in the winter!2 -

That is my garden drink for tonight,Addickted2TheReds said:G+T's are the way forward in this weather.
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.0 -
I've heard a lot of mention of fever tree. What makes it special? I'll get some to try.0

Not a massive gin drinker but it's a good summer drink. This stuff is the absolute dog's proverbials: https://www.thewhiskyexchange.com/p/14926/adnams-copper-house-distilled-gin-70cl.0

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.Curb_It said:I've heard a lot of mention of fever tree. What makes it special? I'll get some to try.
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.0 -

Lemon fever tonic is really nice.0

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... :-)Alwaysneil said:

Fruit Cider gives me the worst heartburn imaginable0

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.3 -
ha, proper laughing @AFKABartram. I can just imagine D & R in the Albany with them in their hands lol.AFKABartram said:

Just had a nice bottle of ice cold Estrella as I work - beats a berry cider every time!0

To me, Gin tastes what I imagine paint stripper to taste like. All I can taste is like a overpowering chemical twang.0

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 lol2

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...1

Rum & Ginger Ale is bloody lovely. Yum. +1 to that.Oakster said: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...

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.0

My home made coconut rum, sugar, lime juice and crushed ice. Thirst entirely slaked0

Found the one good example of a fruit cider that I've had: Gwynt y Draig Autumn Magic with blackberries
https://gwyntcidershop.com/bottled/autumn-magic/
Had it in Crickhowell, which is, frankly, a bit of a trek.0 -
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.)

Pimms Strawberry and Cucumber Cider - Oh Boy!!!!
3 for £5 in Morrisons at the moment0 -
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.0
