I considered drinking a room temperature gin and soda but it’s a desperate level of drinking I’m not at.......yet.

Gin and Soda is plain nasty, ice or not. There's a reason the drink is called Gin and Tonic and not Gin and Soda. Shudder.

To each their own. I love a good G & T but a couple types of gin made around here are better with club soda or seltzer and lime, IMO.

Yeah, cause it’s the tonic part that’s so damn tasty.....

Well, there is this part - "Tonic water contains 83 calories and 21.5 grams of sugar, while soda water contains zero. That's almost as much calories and sugar in tonic water as a regular cola soda (90 calories; 25g sugar)"

How about a gin martini?

I'd be annoyed if I ordered a Martini and got anything other than gin

^^^ I have a friend who says the perfect martini recipe is pour some good gin in a chilled glass, take the vermouth bottle and show it to the gin, then put it back in the liquor cabinet.

Neighbor kids being too pussy to answer the door when I knock at 11pm on a weeknight because their bass resonates through our house. I'd rather them tell me to fuck off to my face instead of just hiding away thinking they can avoid the issue.

Winston Churchhill famously said the only way to make a martini was with ice-cold gin, and a bow in the direction of France.

Alfred Hitchcock said the closest he wanted to get to a bottle of vermouth was looking at it from across the room.

I keep martini glasses in the freezer because I like my martinis cold... cold.... COLD. My method of making them is to fill the chilled glass with ice and pour vermouth over the ice. Meanwhile I shake gin with a bit of brine from the olive jar and ice. Finally I dump the vermouth and ice out of the glass and pour in the gin (This is the Lyndon B. Johnson method of making a martini). Garnish with two colossal queen olives. Enjoy!

Gin of choice is Hendricks or Crater Lake

I'm with your friend. Nothing wrong with a glass of nice, cold gin.

Perfect martini would be to throw that gin shit away and drink some ice cold vodka out of a glass you can chug from without spilling all over yourself. And a couple nice olives on the side.

More like a nice glass of scotch

My millennial daughter was annoyed when she asked me for a martini and got one made with (a really good botanical) gin. She meant vodka. I laughed.

And this.

So, gin on the rocks/chilled is the real Martini?? Waste of a good name, that.
