....crystallized lime substitue is a pretty good sub for lime juice in a drink.

Limes get REAL pricey here this time of year.......for three bucks a shaker, I figure I'm saving money.

So what do you really mean? What do you drink? Margaritas? Gin-tonic?

I like Gin Rickeys a lot.

I gravitate towards simple drinks, and USUALLY end up just mixing my liquor with club soda. The absence of sugar does well to minimize hangovers.

A Gin Rickey is Gin, Soda, Lime.

Not much of a soda fan myself...like the tonic 🙂

G&T used to be my drink. I still do enjoy them....especially with a few dashes of angostura bitters.

Like I said though........sugary mixers spike my head, so I try to avoid them.

here is a good gin drink.......

2-3 oz gin

juice of 1/2 lime

several dashes of Ang. Bitters

10-12 oz coconut water (not coconut milk)

serve ice cold.

I learned that one from Ernest Hemingway and it is a favorite among my fishing buddies down on the ocean now.

OK sounds like tomorrows drink!!! Thanks Andrew!!

the oriental store in the strip has aqua de coco........so does Walmart.

Strain the chunks out though, or you will **** your pants.

DON'T skip or skimp on the angostura bitters....It is it's resinous taste that pulls the drink together.
