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

[JimmyCarter]

So true! There is such a thing as too much ice, however. In fact, most bars serve it with two much ice. I invariably go with 2, maybe 3 if it's super hot, medium sized cubes.

And who was that baby faced Aussie that shamed the silly Brit??

False. G&T needs as much ice as possible.

[Buster Highmen]

I like lots of ice. It melts more slowly when there's lots, so the sips are tastier and fizzier.

[Game Over]

X2 fill the glass with ice!

[PB]

Y'all 'r dead to me. More good drinks are ruined by dilution than cheap ingredients.

Granted, cold is good for G&Ts - just keep your ingredients in the refrigerator.

And drink fast and frequently.

[skaredshtles]

I'm in the "small glass stuffed full of ice" camp. And there is NEVER enough time for sufficient ice to melt to dilute anything. I mean... those glasses are practically shot glasses, anyways.

Gin stays in the freezer, tonic in the fridge.

[Meadow Skipper]

More good drinks are ruined by dilution than cheap ingredients.

Solution: drink fast, drink often.

[OregonDead]

At least as much ice as you can fit in the glass.

I know some people that insist on having an extra glass or bowl of just ice on the side.

Had some of this recently. Distilled in Vermont. Good stuff, quite noticeable juniper flavor, sweetened a bit with some raw honey. They have another gin they make, Tom Cat Gin, but I haven't tried it.

[skaredshtles]

<snip>sweetened a bit with some raw honey.

Hmmm... not sure about this.

[Buster Highmen]

Solution: drink fast, drink often.

I knew you were of the right stock.

[iceman]

Hmmm... not sure about this.

Yeah it sounds weird but it's definitely not sweet per se, just kind of balanced I guess you'd say.

here's a review, they liked it: https://theginisin.com/gin-reviews/barr-hill-gin/

Tom Cat Gin.

What do they put in that?

[iceman]

Cat piss and vinegar I believe.

[PNWbrit]

Cat piss and vinegar I believe.

I bet you have to drink that really fast?

[iceman]

Yes. Or not at all.

[Sweetbippy]

For the G? Hendricks. Always.
For the T? Light Signature Select.
And for the citrus...Lemon Sicilia.

Over ice on a hot summer’s day - nothing finer in my humble opinion. Cheers!

[skajah]

Back to the good, good. That corn based gin didn't cut it for me. Regardless of the view.

[PB]

Elderberry tonic? Really??

Fack; not only did I mistakenly say elderberry instead of elderflower, it's actually citrus.

Two wrongs make a ...... dumbass.

[DJSapp]

You know, I saw some fever tree in the store Friday and grabbed some. The elderflower makes a damn fine drink with some sapphire.

[PB]

Fever Tree's getting a little carried away - they now offer 8 different types of tonic. Most seem superfluous but I must admit the "aromatic" tonic looks intriguing.

[rideit]

Good read for y’all.
Enjoy.

Not a gin guy but bought some Whyte Laydie(out of Missoula) for holiday guests. Been enjoying it with just a bit of tonic and some lime. I really didnt need another delicious cocktail...

[sb]

Step 1, go to 7/11
Step 2, get lime flavored slurpee, the extra large one
Step 3, go liquor store
Step 4, buy bottle of Gin, the big green one
Step 5, pour out part of slurpee and replace with gin
Step 6, enjoy

[gravitylover]

^^Also works well with the Coke Slurpee and Rum or Tequila.

[PB]

Yeah, and if you want go one better, vomit it back up and re-serve it warm.
