The Gin Appreciation Society

Gin nearly outsold fizz last Christmas and G&Ts are becoming ever more fashionable the world over.

I am currently sipping a William Chase and slimline tonic, I have a Tanqueray in the cabinet, but my all-time favourite is Opihr.

What's your favourite gin?

[anneasquith]

Comparing apple pie to alcoholic drink .? OK.

Now prefer sloe to port as an after dinner tipple.

[tonyav]

Thanks shoota.

^ and don`t drink the whole demijohn when you come home from the pub at 1am as we did when I was in my 20s.

[tonyav]

Ohhhhhhh good times hey, 237SJ.

[shoota]

Noooooooo, sip a soupcon every once in a while - not a drink to be quaffed willy nilly.

[237SJ]

I remember coming out of the front door and someone said "What`s that"? and it was the sun. We had been drinking all night. Never again

[tonyav]

The perfect winter warmer, shoota.

[anneasquith]

Sounds lovely shoota, do you drink it with a fizzy additive ?

[tonyav]

We had been drinking all night. Never again

( well not until the next time anyway ).


I think most of us have done something like that in our younger days, 237SJ.
And swore that we will never do that again ;-)

[shoota]

Better than a duvet or a mmf scenario T...... ;-)

No Anne, but I'd make an exception in your case...

[-SharonA-]

Sloe gin should be drank from a shot glass!

[shoota]

Or a hip flask....

[tonyav]

I drink it from ( a full ) whiskey glass. No fizzy stuff or ice involved.

[NoMercy]

Oh shoota, I love port.

[DTCwordfan]

Sipsmiths, ice, no tonic, slice of lime

Blackwood for a really junipery gin

Tanqueray for a G&T, lots of ice and lime

Blue Sapph for a Martini

[shoota]

I'll get a bottle in just for you NoM...

Oh shoota, I love port.

I like a port and brandy, powerful stuff.

[NoMercy]

Shoota, you're too kind. Can I bring anything to this
tête-à-tête? Some pork scratchings, perhaps ?
