For anyone in the Durango area, my buddy is making tonic syrups. Available at star liquor and nature's oasis so far.

the Kirkland Gin makes a tasty G&T.

Being a cheep ass accountant I got into this over the last year; then it suddenly disappeared about Feb.

I mean, just kiss me in the morning and roll away.

At the Dunwoody Costco? It's been probably since the holidays since I hit that one up (since we can't have one with a liquor store down here for some reason) but it was available then. I remembered this thread and got some. It was a good stand-in for my usual Beefeater.

I still like Bombay Sapphire. Both before and after Memorial Day.

[chicken feathers]

Last time I made them the recipe was:
Mythology Gin
Q tonic
Ice
Lime

[subtle plague]

We've had a few on the deck since the temperatures played their usual April trick and were in the high seventies before plummeting back into the Juneuary drizzle and 50s.

I'm still an advocate of the Z&T, with Zirbenz.

Sorry buster I've had one to many Zirbn shots at the krippenstein. It tastes like pine cone mouthwash with 60% alcohol. At least the home made version. Non Bueno.
The luxury version may taste differently [emoji6]

Well, that explains a lot.

Cheers to year round G&T consumption!

I’ve been digging the Milanese G&T. Splash of Campari, gin and tonic

They occasionally let me outside the perimeter.

Also, I think I should stop by there on my way up to the mountains tomorrow for a derby party. Nothing like a grip of Woodford for the price of a liter at Tower.

I'll have to check that out- cheap tonic sucks and the good stuff is expensive, could see pairing this with generic soda

A sodastream can also be a force multiplier; I've had good luck with that + off-the-shelf syrups.

Bombay Dry is all you need for a G & T if you have good tonic.

I'm a big fan of bar tonic syrup myself. it's so versatile, and you can make a g&t of whatever concentration you like.

For gin - Beefeater all the way.

I haven't surveyed a ton of options, but I like this Small Hand Foods syrup: https://amzn.to/3vxYB6U

I also have a sodastream rigged with something like this to a 20lb Co2 tank, so a $10 Co2 fill gets me 2L of soda water a day for about 6 months: https://amzn.to/3e7xHgA

If you like Beefeater, have you tried Boodles? Friend recently gave me a bottle. For some reason I had never had it before. Not bad! Beefeater's a great standard, but I found it a bit too neutral for my Gin tastes. Don't get me wrong. I buy it once in a while as sometimes that's just the ticket, but overall I like a tad more punch. Which Boodles seems to have.

And like already said above, Bombay Sapphire. You just can't go wrong with that one. To me, that hits all the right notes of the "botanicals" without just getting stupid with it like so many micro-distilled Gins I've tried.

Apparently the estate of Hunter S Thompson is releasing a Gin made with botanicals grown on the Owl Farm.

WAIT WUT?! I had NO idea that existed! Thanks! I needed that in my life. Seriously. Wife and I mostly use our sodastream for just making straight club soda to pair with whiskey. The little bottles last long enough but I hate wasting it on a full bottle when I only need a small amount of soda. So I begrudgingly have been using cans of prepackaged stuff. Definitely ordering that kit! That makes the economics much more palatable. In the long run at least.

heh, beefeater is just my bar-gin (for G&Ts). for martinis, Botanist or St. George Botanivore/Terroir. for martinez, Old Tomcat. for general mixology, usually Amethyst. i like boodles, it's great for the price. honestly not a fan of bombay sapphire - not that it's bad, i just don't think it's particularly compelling either.

yeah bar tonics are becoming increasingly common now; they're fantastic. Small Hands Foods is among the best (as is their orgeat and other syrups) but there are a number of companies making them. here's another fantastic option:

I just use Hendrik's or the Botanist, 'cause I'm a pretentious bastard.

if you drink hendricks then you absolutely need to try a hot charlotte. one of my favorite summer time drinks, classic enough to rival the G&T or the margarita;

1 tablespoon diced cucumber
Tabasco sauce (to taste)
1½ ounce Hendrick’s Gin
1 ounce St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur
¾ ounce lemon juice
1 cucumber wheel (for garnish)

Muddle the cucumber, shake on ice, serve on fresh ice

Oh yes. St. Germain has become a summertime staple in my bar for when I want a mellow, delicious gin drink. SO good together!
