Love gin, hate tonic water.
Lemonade or fruit juice is the way forward. Or cocktails.

Coloured sprits are nasty, whisky/rum/brandy etc

Have you always been called gindrinker or did you name change specially? This is clearly the thread for you...!

MadBusLady · 25/09/2012 10:08

YABsoU!

Now vodka, mind you, that is the devil's own toilet water.

It smells like lamp oil. Used to make me heave when I had to serve it to customers. As did whisky but that was self inflicted!
However damson gin is gorgeous and I'm making sloe gin this year too, just to see what its lie.

Not as good as dark rum and ginger beer though. That's nectar of the Gods right there.

OP I have reported you for not being a genuine Mumsnetter.

Don't like gin?!

TROLL ALERT

HellonHeels · 25/09/2012 12:13

YABU! I bloody love gin. Gordons is my fave. I'm not keen on that Bombay Sapphire stuff though (Should be Mumbai Sapphire now, no?) and I loathe Hendricks, it's vile. So YANBU if you've only tried those two. Gordons is the way to go!

It's rank. I don't care for spirits much, anyway, but that one is nasty.

YABVU. I can't believe this thread is being left to stand. Where's MNHQ? HM?

I love gin , lots of ice ,slice of lime..delicious !! I like it soo much that at work I buy the flavoured bottled water lemon and lime as it reminds me of a nice g and t as drinking at work would be frowned upon Grin

For those of you who are anti slimline tonic, my drink of choice is Gin&Slim and I had years of this from DHs family...so one night I did the Pepsi challenge on about 6 of them, not one guessed right...they haven't had a go since Grin

Yes but I try and avoid sweeteners full stop, so it's not really about the taste.
