The correct Gin and Tonic: List 'em up Maynard.

ice is probably napping at this point but that old red wine could be turned into kalimotxo with some Coke. Authentic plastic mixing bag optional.

on a related note, wife flew out of town early this AM and will be back around midnight, I got nothing I absolutely need to do, so I'm working a good day buzz here. Figure a nap for a couple hours this afternoon. What could go wrong?

ETA: re your conundrum: do they have Uber eats in your area? I can order booze straight to my lazy asses' front porch without lifting more than a damned index finger. It's liberating.

Cynar, mmmm... old industry bar my buddy owned was known for offering only chilled shots of that. Good in a cocktail, questionable on it's own, chilled, and consumed 8 at a time in 2oz shots.

Ouch. As a G&T afionado, the summer Q and T is fantastic

I really think that Fever Tree and such are way more forward, better with heavier gins

Though I haven't been called a twat in about forever.

Sadly, I would not be able to hang with my 20 something self. I can barely get down a beer or four these day. A pint glass of Grey Goose would destroy me. Glory Days.

Who in the FUCK would bring peach schnapps on ANY trip? :confused:

Good question. Back in the day, before we wised up, we would have one person in charge of everything for the hut trip, and just rotate that person. So the organizer bought a metric shitton of every alcohol under the sun, and we all unhappily lugged it all up to the hut. And we did our damnedest to drink it all, until we got to the dregs. Peaches and Cream.

Is that where Ice ended up? It was a bad idea to encourage a guy his age to walk that far.

I wouldn't talk like that unless you want the Donald J Trump (tm) Ministry of Truth to come down hard on you.

"The boonies" but a liquor store is only 4 miles?

Shenanigans, I say.

My friend, allow me to present to you the lake country of Kentucky and Tennessee. Many times the nearest booze purveyor is so far out that life is still in black and white.

On the G&T front, my bar stock usually makes it:
Sapphire or Tanqueray + Schweppervescence, notwithstanding the Schweppes hate in this thread

Hipsters like Aviation as the local boutique label...it prolly deserves the fancy tonic

I have to say Buster, all those things I heard about you can't be true. You are obviously a decent human being.


I'll second The Botanist. Exceptionally good. Lot of layers and subtly to it.

A turd-floating monsoon storm just rolled in, cooled everything way down, and changed my PM cocktail plans from G&T to rye whiskey.

It's good to have a plan B.

It's like velvet, you rub it the wrong way and it gets all crumpled and blotchy.

:)

Excellent words smithing; could apply to so many things

Today's Buzz: Hedgetrimmer Gin, FeverTree Tonic, organic lime wedge, chunk of clear, endangered, receding Alaskan glacier ice in 16oz. stainless Yeti tumbler. repeat

While I no longer drink, there was a place in Helena that had $1 tanqueray and tonics. $10 went a real long way.

I'm drinking right now!
