Old-Dutch Monkey 47’s my favourite. Love gin. The Malfy pink grapefruit is lovely. Haven’t tried the blood orange
RichM One I get from South Africa whenever there, difficult to get this in UK, M&S used to sell it discovered this recently, a gin made in Chelmsford, and it’s actually really good
Homegrove Some good Finnish ones. Problem is they are all so fucking expensive I just buy Bombay and try to make it better with more expensive tonic.
Old-Dutch Roku gin is lovely too - the bottle is lovely as well (from the same distillery as Hibiki whiskey). Stick some string lights in it and it makes a lovely little feature The bottles are lovely
RichM Old-Dutch decent gin that one. The Essex one I posted do a refill package so you can get your bottle refilled. Thought that was a good idea rather than binning them each time
Dan Not a fan of the novelty Gins. Hendricks Tanqueray Bombay Sapphire Kyro Dark Gin (special occasions)
Kells77 I’m not fancy….Hendricks or Bombay Sapphire with lots of lime and a little soda are perfect for me.
Unbroken1 Smallman1 Real men drink Italian orange based gin. …topped-up with a refreshing cranberry and thyme tonic maybe? LOTS of crushed ice, a leel tweest of orange peel, a sprig of mint, and maybe ooh.. drop a couple of candied kumquats in there!?? One of those big daft balloon glasses an you’re ready to rock! Now smash the lot in the barman’s face and DEMAND A DRINK THAT DOESN’T TASTE OF EAU DE TOILETTE FFS.
benson A ‘ginning’ was the standard drinking punishment at uni. 8 shots down in 1. Thats 200ml, nearly half a pint. Fucking disgusting. Can’t say I ever liked it before and certainly not after. My mate dave loves it and will get a cheeky round of gins for downers after pint. Absolutely grim but I’ll drink them out of respect for his liking of it. Tequila is where it is at for spirits.
Kells77 benson we tried century club (100 shots in 100 minutes) with vodka once in uni (with vodka orange juice chasers 🙈)….we made it to about round 10 before the passing out or whitey-ing began 😂
