    Bourbon

    Patience. Well have plenty of bourbon shit poling here.
    Reading this thread, I stand by my original statement of gin being the white SUV of alcohol. A man can drink it. But it doesn't mean he should.

    I always thought a martini was really cold gin with a green olive in it

    For me, it's become ice cold Tito's with a touch of olive juice served in a martini glass rinsed with vermouth and skewered olives stuffed with blue cheese jalapenos.
    upgraded.
    Why not both. Abundance. Cheers!

    Gin is like a nice white Ford Bronco. Great for escaping from life's stresses.

    For all my Ducktard frens out there or @haie if you like Martinis, I've been really digging Aria Gin out of PDX this days. Perfect balanced gin and not overly floral. I don't like to feel like I'm eating pine cones or juniper berries when I'm drinking gin.

    Bombay Saphire
    Back in the day when I drank gin and tonics I would go Bombay 90% of the time, Tanqueray the other 10%. I served Dry Fly gin at home for a while after, and have pretty much not consumed gin for 10+ years at this point. Got pretty bored with it.

    I don't drink gin and tonic much, except on a hot summer day. But when I do, I still like Bombay.

    My year round martini phase is running at 20 plus years though.

    I haven’t had gin since 1995.

    A friend's neighbor mixed up a concoction he learned in or near the Basque regions in Spain, with giant ice cube balls & a whole bunch of plant life in a giant glass (reminiscent of a stoner couples fish tank from the 1970s) and it was delicious with Hendrick's Gin. The guy was adamant that I had to use Hendrick's if I ever made them myself.

    Anyway, a G&T right from the well is fine when I want something unusual to sip on a nice day.

    Otherwise, it's bourbon, rum, vodka, beer, wine or the spody bucket from Cannery Row.

    "Be Happy! Stay Drunk!" is my motto.
