Holy shit you are right. I looked it up thinking you were making a joke. He additionally, he drank 10 shots of cognac, and was in the middle arm wrestling the crew. 🤯

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.

Kells77 Think the usual version of this is just done with shots of beer. Which will fuck most people. Friends husband did it, failed for the full hundred, but did chin his best mate.

What do you mix Gin with, or is it just straight?

Smallman1

Hursty What do you mix Gin with,

Loathing and regret for the most part.

Dan

Tonic Water (none of your slimline bollocks)

RichM

Or vermouth and Campari to make a negroni. Lovely stuff

RichM I hate gin, but love a negroni to be fair.

So basically everyone is getting excited about one of the oldest cocktails on the block, G&T.

Maybe Gin has moved on from Gordons eh?!

If anyone is using Schweppes as a tonic, please leave the thread.

And then launch yourself off the nearest bridge.
