That sounds nice, though as a rule I tend to like anything containing angostura bitters.

you will have to try the old navy favourite, pink gin. 50ml gin, add bitters to taste.

fond memories of the last time i drank that. was on a bar crawl in bristol with a mate Paul on one of the hottest days last year. we started at lunchtime in clifton or whatever the posh side is called, lovely pub meal looking over the suspension bridge. then into the centre of town, drank until the last bar open had to kick us out to close for the night then back at the hotel, looking in my suitcase all i had was gin, bitters and limes so we drank that till we passed out.

I like Gin!

Once a friend and I was having dinner after we been crawling in caves for days.
We really wanted the dinner to be special after eating cold food from cans for days so I thought we could start off with an small apéritif like a dry martini.
He thought it was a great idea and headed for the kitchen...

-We ain't got no Noilly Prat!
-Well straight Gin will do then!
-Ain't got no cocktail glasses either!
-Well, I don't mind, take any glass!

So, after downing a 0.6L beer glass full to the rim of Gin, the night out on town sure got "special"!

My favorites in order:

1: Hendricks
2. Tanqueray
3: Bombay Saphire.
There is no other.

Well, I like Islay scotches & now I like Islay gins.

Ah, the martini! Nothing finer than "loudmouth soup."

Bombay Gin or No 3 with Tonic lots of ice and a slice of lime not lemon, Heaven

Hendricks
Tanq 10
Bombay

In that order.

Martinis made with Beefeaters or Boodles. Ahhhhhhh Heaven
