To stay on MN even though I hate gin

[peppermintpigs]

I just tried it for the first time, Jesus it's disgusting.

Me neither, though I think it’s more the tonic than the gin. Mind you I had a delicious gin fizz with Prosecco in a swanky hotel In London. Unfortunately it was £££ so I only had one.

I’m waiting for gin to be over and we can all get on board with vodka, because I bloody love that.

I can’t stand gin. Or tonic.

I hate gin. Tastes like a week old orange covered in black pepper and now it's trendy I hate it even more. The people who've always drunk Gin must be raging at all these Gin hipsters with their bastardised versions. I hope they don't start that site with my precious vodka.

The only thing I like about gin is the smell, it reminds me of my nanna (fondly) to drink though - not for me in any flavour combo..

I had no idea that gin is a MN thang 🤷🏻‍♀️

Actually I like the rhubarb and ginger gin liqueur from Lidl, because it doesn’t taste of gin.

I do love the odd G&T though but only in the summer

I wonder this just about being a middle aged mother: I feel so out of step with my peers!

I hate gin...absolutely vile stuff. I barely drink but if I must, I'll have a vodka

@RaspberryToupee

🤦‍♀️ Fuck you autocorrect!

Although, it was a rough spoons I went into. So maybe 🤷‍♀️

Doesn't narrow it down much.

I don't like gin and I detest tonic.
I'll stick with the vodka.

I remember a vodka bar in Cheshire back in 1996, they had every flavour you could ask for. I’ve moved since and don’t know if it still exists ...

@Regularname

It’s ok I don’t like gin and I’ve never bought zoflora. Just keep ne changing and they’ll never know

Me too....and have been here for years 😉

I hate gin too, i have tried different types and different mixers and i just can't take to it. I am currently sipping a lovely Barcardi and coke, now that's a drink!

Ditto Fever Tree tonic. And not one of those sickly fruity gins. Lots of ice and lime, bit of rosemary, and keep the gin in the freezer 😀

I hate it too, it tastes like celery, revolting stuff.

Fruity gin and lemonade 🤢

Zoflora is fab ... just don't drink it, not even with gin to make it more drinkable 😳

My friends hated gin, then they discovered these flavoured ones and now love it! I think they still actually hate gin, they just like it if the gin flavour is covered up

I love gin! I have finally bought some Tanquerry as it was on offer, and oh my word! Really strong juniper flavour. My new go to.

Gin and grapefruit juice is lovely

Isn't gin made from vodka?

Try anything but tonic with it - Bitter lemon or fruit juice, even lemonade. It's often the tonic people don't like, rather than the gin.

*have also never bought Zoflora.

Gin is fucking rotten. It's like drinking a bottle of Vanderbilt.

And no, I don't need to try it with some poncey mixer either; it's just shit.

I like fever tree tonic water but I've gone retro where gin & tonic is concerned and I prefer Schweppes, esp their 1783 range.

I find that fever tree doesn't enhance the clean tasting gins i like as it overpowers them. It's lovely on its own though!

Just because there's been a gin craze you don't need to follow it! Stick to what you like

Years ago at a uni study group I tried a gin and tonic, I did not hate it but did not love it so never had another again

Prosecco however I am partial too - well some

That’s ok don’t be a bandwagon gin drinker, all the more for me .
I liked it when it was an untrendy old lady drink, and I’m annoyed it’s gone up 2 quid a bottle.
