Title: A New Tipple
Post by: Alex on October 08, 2022, 11:01:40 PM
I like a drop of gin now and again, but not the ordinary stuff I can't stand the smell of that.  I've taken up pink gin which is pleasant with tonic, also "Sicilian Lemon Gin " which is from Aldi.  I was in the queue and met a girl I used to work with years ago, we got chatting and she told me to try gin with Ginger or Dry Ginger, it seemed like an odd combination but it's very nice  :upvote:    Just thought I'd pass that on 🍸🍸🍸

The lemon one sounds nice. I quite like rhubarb and ginger gin with tonic. G&T is my favourite drink.

There are so many mixers for gin that you can buy.. I'm not too keen on flavoured mixers. I think I prefer Gin with Tonic..   I do like ginger though.. so might mix some with a gin.. That will be around Christmas time because I don't drink much..
Vodka and Jack Daniels are the family favourites in my home..

I like a martini - one part Gordons London, three parts extra dry Vermouth

That sounds lovely - will have a look for it in our local Aldi.
