Since there isn't a gin or a vodka thread, thought I'd start one up for those that like them. I don't drink much of either but made a gin & tonic for the Mrs. and myself while we wait for dinner time.

1 - Sipsmith with Schweppes tonic water, two lime wedges for wifey, one for me. Added some chopped up mint leaves too.

vodka or gin?

Gave up the potato diet long ago, and after many gallons of Vox and Ketel One.
Always on the rocks with a splash of club soda and a lime.

Ketel One, Absolute, or even Stolichnaya. Really depends which one is on sale that day at the Class Six.


Konan, have you tried Seagram's tonic water? It seems to be less bitter than the other brands to include Schweppes.

No, not yet but will pick up some next time. Thanks.

Wheel called Titos "swill"!

Re: tonic, though I do often buy Schweppes and Canada Dry, I find Fever Tree infinitely better and much "healthier".

I could fix that

I rarely drink vodka but when I do I usually get hammered.

I rarely drink gin......that is all

Hendricks Gin n lime..

Sipsmith G&T

It's the only bottle of gin we have but been wanting to try the Hendricks...or at least to get a bottle for my wife to try.

Cathead Vodka- from Mattie B.
Excellent.

Not a gin or vodka guy, but I've heard of a horseradish vodka I am now considering.

sounds interesting for sure....

sounds like a plan...

Great idea.

Hendricks G&T at last night's dinner with out of town friends.

I'm telling ya dude, float a slice of cucumber in a chilled pour and call it a martini. No olives, it has cucumber essence in it already. Hendricks does not need tonic.

she can martini it with a couple drips of vermouth, I really do suggest cucumber over olives if she wants something to crunch while drinking it. Hendricks seems to have a very pronounced natural cucumber essence.

I happen to love gin/vodka and tonic, but I prefer slightly rougher gins and vodkas in them. Uber gins and vodkas just seem to get muted by mixers...for me. Try Fever Tree tonic if you can find it.

Friend said to dice up the cucumber when we try the Hendricks.

Bought Fever Tree with the first bottle of gin (...Botantist...), but being newbs, can't say we knew how good it was.

cleaner product, less sugar, real quinine (hence fever tree name)...

I like the idea to dice the cuke, thanks.

LIKE!

So happy you are enjoying them bud. say the word when the bottles get low.

Belvedere Unfiltered, rocks, twist. Perfect with a Laranja and a 65 degree night on the deck.

Brooklyn G&T - quite a day at work, needed it.

I'm pretty much a scotch guy but I'll occasionally have a vodka tonic.
I drink ciroc because P diddy is my hero
