Morning AFN - hope you're having a lovely weekend!
Hey blue, which gin were you drinking? I have some Macaronesian from Tenerife which is more kick-butt than Bombay Sapphire, but I sadly have none of my favourite from Menorca...
You're singing my song Elle
... So Gin ... I've tried lots of them and my opinon is that for "every day drinking" ... (oh dear ... that sounds bad lol), i'd choose Gordons over anything (and not the import which is stronger).
For a special Gin .. I'd like Hendrix ...but they can take that cucumber and shove it somewhere else, because i want lemon (or least lime) in my Gin!!
For something different i'd go for Bloom - It's a floral type Gin that takes a bit of getting into.
If i wanna look trendy, I'll go for a Sipsmiths .. It's really nice (a bit stronger)
Outside choices for me are tanqueray (gives me worse hangovers) & bombay saphire (something funky about the taste)
I stay away from the non branded or "London" type gins lol ...
I don't drink gin before 10pm
... rules are rules!!
I need a good tonic water to accompany - Schwepps full fat is my fave, but i'll drink an overpriced fevertree if it comes to it!
