the best gin bang for buck is buying some cheap vodka and soaking some juniper berries in it.

This is the cheapest I'll go.

The cheapest gin i get for drinking on the rocks is bombay or fords (both around $20 by me)

I buy handles of gordons for cocktail making though

Gin is boomer tier

>>12700603
I'll drink Gordon's warm straight out of the bottle it ain't even bad

>>12700603
your mom gives the best bang for a buck

Tranquery or beefeater?
I've only had tanquery but I've heard good things about beefeater.

bee feeder

>>12700603
Gordon’s

>>12700852
Well since your Mom isn’t white, I’m not interested

>>12700603
Plymouth gin, easily.

>>12700705
The young guys where I live order gin and tonics if they're not ordering beer. It's the boomers who stick to a pint of lager and nothing else, unless they're well-to-do.

>>12700937
>gin and tonics
Zoomers don't even know it is possible to drink gin without the tonic.

>>12700903
>pink gin
Imagine how much of a pussy you would have to be to drink something like that.

>>12701011
A double of gin with a dash or two of Angostura bitters is both tasty and hard hitting, anon.

New Amsterdam

>>12700990
Zoomer here. It is, but I like the quinine.

>>12702517
Seconding this
Beefeater is also great

>>12700888
Tanqueray isn't good without a mixer, you need to step up to Tanqueray №10 if you want it on the rocks.

gin hangover is not worth it. never again

>>12702616
Hydrate nigga hangovers are for fools

>>12700603

>>12702616
>thinks you get different types of hangovers from different types of spirits

Beefeater is one of the best for martinis. Bombay extra dry is another excellent martini gin

>>12700603
i would never get something less expensive than hendricks if i were drinking it straight. avoid london dries i guess

>>12700990
Are you considered a zoomer if you're of drinking age? Unless you're a eurofag I guess.

4 pillars unless there's some huge export tax.

>>12702517
Isn't that vodka?

>>12700603
>gin on the rocks
absolutely fucking awful, idk who drinks this trash, gin and tonic is fine but who the hell would drink straight gin

>>12703949
Do you even like the taste of alcohol?

James Bond drank pink gin

"In The Man With The Golden Gun, when James Bond is introduced to the hoods at the Thunderbird Hotel, drinks are being served."

"The red-coated barman asked him what he would have and he said, ‘Some pink gin. Plenty of bitters. Beefeater’s.’ There was desultory talk about the relative merits of gins. Everyone else seemed to be drinking champagne except Mr Hendriks, who stood away from the group and nursed a Schweppes Bitter Lemon."

unironically saffron gin

>>12703949
Decent gin is great on the rocks, loser.
Tanqueray Ten is a good place to start, and not horribly expensive either.

Gin Lubuski

>>12700928

this.
it's so cheap, it is a joke. it has a lot of crisp and sharpness though. but it's best bang for bucks hands down. (having like 2.5k of gin, rum and vodka standing in around)

>>12703941
NewAm vodka is going to be the best bang for your buck. They also make a gin which is very bad even in cocktails. Beefeater and Gordon's are only a couple bucks more and well worth it.

>>12706536
Yeah honestly new Amsterdam gin is so incredibly shitty that it actually put me off gin for almost a year. Only recently I purchased a bottle of Ungava gin while visiting Ottawa Ontario, and looking for something unique to bring home.

Shit was fucking awesome, when drinking straight you can taste so many flavors and spices, it's great. The scent is still off putting thanks to NewAm though.

>>12700603
really like this one

>>12703949
>Can't appreciate a nice gin on the rocks with a lemon twist
i feel bad for you

>>12706482
Where do you live that Plymouth is cheap? I live in NJ and the cheapest I can get it is $35 per 750. If it was under 30 it would be the only gin I buy

>>12708070
Its 30 a 750ml in Iowa.

Best bang for your buck straight up on the rocks? Tough question, especially considering the gamut of gin cocktails set in stone, yet it's like drinking cheap vodka or wine in the sense that you'll get sussed, but you won't enjoy it till your tipping your elbow for the dregs and incapacitated to the point of being unable to replenish the wineskin. Avoid sipping Gordon's, Tanqueray, and Bombay, or whatever else finds itself in that price range, unless it has a promo flavour, such as Bombay's citrus varieties, and you can't afford fresh ingredients to use for cocktails down the road. At a certain point, most gins above the lowest price range and the second lowest price range are beyond delightful. Had a gin infused with violets a few weeks prior and it had the most poetic shade of purplish blue once diluted with tonic water. I have been enjoying Beefeater's as of late, but only with tonic or as the base of another cocktail, never by itself, yet Hendrick's is my newfound staple, a remarkably distinct gin that substitutes Plymouth well in artisanal recipes. Can't go wrong with a Gin and It!

>dumb zoomer assumes pink means saccharine strawberry flavor bullshit
I lmao at your ineptitude

>>12708030
>Nikka
Overpriced and overblown gin, just like their overpriced and overblown whiskey.

>>12708814
>promo flavor
Tanqueray's Rangpur is literally fantastic. It was my go-to gin before I discovered my picrel.
>Hendrick's is my newfound staple
Have you tried the seasonal limited Hendrick's? They have two:
>Orbium
blue lotus, wormwood, and quinine - spicy, earthy, and musky
>Midsummer Solstice
floral and effervescent in flavor
Both are fantastic either sipped on the rocks or in cocktails.

>>12700603
For me, it's pic related.
Fantastically smooth and sippable, floral, tiny hint of smooth citrus like bergamot. Nothing beats it especially at its pricepoint. I buy it a case at a time from the local fine wine & spirits shop.

bombay sapphire is not bad straight, so iwll be good on the rocks.
