Thanks Dagney!
I'll be trying your recipe on the weekend!
:thankyou:

Gin Martini. Extra dry. Double olives. The king of all gin drinks. My friend likes gin & sprite... not too bad, actually.

Vermouth compliments gin without overpowering it. My limit is three. Sometimes four ....sometimes........

i have never tried gin, it just sounds bitter.

I like Coconut rum (Malibu) with EVERYTHING - cola, pineapple juice, Orangejuice, lemonade, midori and malibu,, just yum.

Oh and cocksucking cowboys are my 2nd fav. (cream liqur and butterscotch)

And i Lurve lurve Spumante'. mmm the bubbles!!

IMO gin tastes a lot like a christmas tree smells.

Juniper berries, isn't that what flavors gin?

Gin isn't bitter at all, in fact, it's very sweet. Particularly if you choose a nice one. Like all spirits, you get what you pay for.

Fallen, that's right. Also almonds, lemon peel, liquorice, and Iris Root. That's what it says on my bottle anyway. ;)

Juniper is a type of cypress, which is a choice of trees here in the *christmas* season. Very poignant. IIRC kinda reminds me of the upper grade sinsemilla fragrance. Oh... to be young again.

Oh!.... that was last year!

collects thoughts..... signs off........

Ohhhh that sounds interesting... Iris root? what brand of gin do you prefer?

I usually drink Bombay Sapphire cause it's about the best one you can get around here...maybe anywhere. Problem is, I only drink it after someone's been overseas and buys it duty free for me, cause I can't afford the price tag otherwise. :(

Beefeater. mmmmmm......

I get a jones for Bombay Sapphire about once or twice a year. Other than that, its usually Wild Turkey 101.

Gin is the devil. ...but with all the positive posts I've seen here about it, I'll have to give it another chance.

Right after a mojito, that is. Mmmm!

Did I mention it puts me to sleep? lol
