Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Gin?

T10 is damn good. Not as good as the Botanist, but it will definitely do. There are truly horrible but high-end gins out there that might well be Chanel #5 rebottled as a drink. They could gag a maggot.

Had my first G&T w/lime last summer. Tanqueray based. I liked it, a lot. Will try more when it warms up.

Host said he would liked to have served Bombay Sapphire but couldn't find it last minute. Better?

I like gin. but spiced Rum is my favorite drink.

Sipping a martini as I type. First try with Dover Strait and I am enjoying it.

I buy Tanqueray most often but like Hendricks better. Not a big fan of Bombay.

Gin and tonics are good but usually I make martinis or vespers or gibsons or corpse revivers.

Summers this one by Hemingway is very good:

Green Issac’s Special

Fanofthefortyone;
Good evening to you sir and to the rest of the gin aficionados here.

With the confession that I'm not a gin fan by any stretch, but my son in law and his mother both appreciate fine gin.

They really like this stuff made 5 minutes south of here.

If any of you are heading up Highway 97 it's just on the left as you're heading through the tiny town of Gallagher Lake.

Anyway, all the best to you all. Stay well.

Only time I drank gin regular was on our 4x per year cross border trip to Lomé Togo just across from Ghana. The purpose being to be paid in hard currency (CFA) rather than not-worth-the-paper-they-were-printed-on Ghanaian cedis.

There was a dive on the waterfront not far from the border, gin was the drink of choice, straight from the bottle. Holy crap did we get blitzed.

Very true. I've been disappointed so many times. Looking to try something different, look at the price tag and figure it must be good to justify it. Fugg no. But that being said, cheap gin is worse than cheap vodka. I'd rather have the vodka.

If you're gonna drink gin, start of by having a few Colt 45's, smoke a blunt, and get the chitlins ready to cook.

Hendrick's gimlet. Summer in a glass.

Death's Door Gin has game too.

Might want to educate yourself a bit on the history of the spirit before throwing aspersions.

I ain't got time for all that, I'm just telling you my experiences of those I know that drink it.

I'm a gin and tonic guy (just finished one a few minutes ago). My sister tried to convince me Bombay Sapphire was better than Tanqueray, but I couldn't agree. According to her, I must like the taste of juniper/pine needles/paint thinner/turpentine, etc. Tanqueray is my go-to, but Hendricks is definitely a step up. FWIW, I did discover that when you run out of tonic, Fresca works well for a substitute.

So you've nothing to add to an otherwise civil conversation. Got it.

ought to be one thread we can all play nice on.

Tonic is my preferred mixer. Club if necessary. Have done gatorade in a pinch, but if I don't have any Tonic water I'd rather just have it on the rocks. That's how I can personally tell if I like the gin or not. If I think it's good on it's own with a few ice cubes then tonic isn't going to cover anything up. I'll confess to a squirt of lemon juice to substitute a lime wedge sometimes.

Tanqueray martini extra dry, 2 anchovy stuffed olives . 2) of them on the rocks , and i`m good . Been 24 years since I had any alcohol to drink, but can still taste that one though

I was weaned on beefeater soaked olives....

I'm with you. Seagram's is definitely one of the best of the lower priced gins. I've tried many others and I keep coming back to Seagrams.
I also really like their vodka. I'd trade a Tito's for a Seagram's any day.

Bombay Sapphire. A gin and tonic can hit the spot when it’s hot outside. The problem with it is.....it goes down so easily, it makes a second almost a given😀
