To hate gin?!

[cupofteaandasliceofcake]

It seems loaaaads of people like gin. Am I the only person who doesn't?! I lurve most booze old lush from wine to vodka - but gin?! Blah.
What's so great about it?

I love gin.

G&T is also the only drink I've come across that glows under UV light.

It is perfumed and an acquired taste. Like Earl Grey tea. Wonder if anyone likes gin who doesn't like earl grey (and vice versa). Me - I love both. Tipple and tea of choice.

Gin is lovely. Especially hendricks gin with tonic and cucumber. I even managed to get my friend, who hates gin, to try it. And she loved it too.

one of those things you love or hate. It's disgusting. we must share the same tastebuds, those of us who hate it.

I also don't like cinnamon. wonder if it's related, tastebudwise.

I love gin so YABU. Plymouth is the best, or at a push, any old sort 'll do

For those who want to retry try one of the rts cans.

Gin Fizz (tastes like sherbet lemons)
Or
Gin and pink grapefruit yummmmm

I love gin but detest Early Grey tea. Not keen on cinnamon either, or ginger, while we're talking about perfumey flavours.

I agree about the Fever Tree tonic, tis lovely!

That's my thesis disproved then.

I remember someone telling me once that gin makes people who drink it maudlin. Surely that can't be true - in terms of the biochemistry, surely alcohol is alcohol? Mind you - much as I love a G&T, I always always stop at one. It's strictly a 'start the evening' drink for me.

YABU

I've experimented with gin and concluded Beefeater to be the best

My Nan took to the bath with gin when she found out she was pregnant with my dad. He obviously beat the gin but is more than a little partial to it...

Bluerrrrgh! It's yuck. I do like Earl Grey though Dotty

Got to be malt whisky!

Gin was probably used to try and end pregnancies because juniper is an abortifacient (sp?).

dotty I've heard that too, but it's not the case for me; it always makes me smile

Vodka, on the other hand, has made me cry on the two or three occasions I've drunk it - so now I just avoid.

YANBU, it's vile.

I have quite a stash of Bombay Sapphire. Lime tonic and a wedge of lime and ice. Lovely and not sickly sweet. Tonic never goes flat here as both DH and I drink it without gin or vodka.

Love gin - I think it was the first alcoholic drink I ever tried. My Dad isn't a drinker but has one G&T in the evening after work while reading the paper in summer, and a glass of sherry in the winter. He used to let us have a tiny taste as kids and I loved it even then.

DH and I have a single G&T every evening after the kids have gone down while we get our dinner ready. Bliss.

To be honest, I don't give a shiny shite what the gin is, but the tonic has to be Schweppes.

I love Earl Grey as well, the only tea I drink.

I've never tried gin! Was talking to DH about this just yesterday and he reckons I'd like it as I love Southern Comfort and that's quite perfumey.

Only alcohol I can't drink is vodka. I work in a lab with Industrial Alcohol, and vodka smells just like it and it just makes me feel sick.

I tend to favour different drinks according to the season/weather though. Summer is Southern Comfort or a Corona, t, winter is Jack Daniels although Christmas is port.

I tried Fever Tree diet tonic after reading about it on here but I wasn't keen. Prefer the small cans of Schweppes.

I love gin and tonic. Especially on aeroplanes when the combination of high altidude and bubbles delivers the alcohol in one mad rush.

Yabu gin is a wonderful drink!

I hate gin too!

Plymouth Gin is one of the wonders of civilisation.

I love gin - served in one of our lovely chunky crystal glasses, with Fever Tree tonic (can't abide Schweppes as they use sweeteners even in the full fat version now), ice and lime. As a pre-dinner aperitif, it's unbeatable.

DH is brilliant at making sloe gin and this year we are also making damson gin. Some of the sloe gin may be given to a favoured few at Christmas but the damson gin is in too small a quantity to be distributed, so will be staying at home with us, to see us through the winter.

Aeroplane gin and tonic! I used to fly lots but have barely been on a plane since DCs arrived until had a work-related trip (alone) to the States this summer. The whole thing felt like a liberation, but one of my very favourite moments was ordering a G&T on the flight back!

I love Gin. And vodka and tequilla, whiskey, bourbon, rum... its annoying actually.
