I've never heard gin referred to as a woman's drink.

It become a fashionable metrosexual drink a few years back and there was a gin boom where lots of shit gin entered and flooded the market.

Rum is the next I think.

"boutique" gin is for sassy chubby chicks that take burlesque classes because they're too fat for poledance

>>15219608
I've had gin and tonic and I never liked it. After having tonic alone at an airport lounge, I realized I didn't like tonic. I might try Hendrick's once I finish my scotch.

It seems like nobody even drinks gin, I don’t think I’ve ever tried it but I’m told it’s like dry vodka. No idea what the appeal is if that’s the case.

>>15219608
>fruity/floral flavors like an end of shift Red Light Girl
>typically low grade distillation/dog shit pure spirit
>low proof and doesnt have to be aged in a barrel
I'm a Scotchfag and even bad vodka is better than Gin. Hell I'd rather go back to huffing air horns.

Also Tanq no. 10

If you want something cheaper, you can go with Citadelle. They have that in handles as well.

>>15219608
>What's your favorite gin?
bought a bottle of seagrams to try gin out because it was cheap
i liked it and i'm not really sure what to try next

I don't care for California people, but I'm not gonna hate something that's good on basis.

>>15219608
it's a proper English drink, but Canada seems to make a breddy good gin.
my brother and i used to mix with monster (i think it's called a "batman?") and play minecraft well before it was popular with the masses... comfy memories

>>15221200
But I am. Gladly.

>>15221211
>and play minecraft well before it was popular with the masses

>>15221006
This is in the top 5 for sure.
>>15221097
This is actually a decent gin despite the packaging. The almond especially is a nice touch.

Calm down Cletus, the Californians and their fancy city slicker ways cant hurt you. Go back to your swamp, smoke some crystal meth and fuck your sister or whatever it is you people do.

When are you trendy punks gonna pick up the god damn everclear and dye it greenurple and play Tomp Benana by Qlarc for the crowd and die that way

I tried gin for the first time as a real adult, apart from social drinking settings

made my wife and I some "bramble" which were per my recipe-
1.5oz gin
1.5oz simple syrup
0.75oz lemon juice
shaken and poured over crushed ice and then drizzled with 0.75oz chambord on top.

really lovely drink. feel like anyone of any drinking persuasion would like it, obviously it's pretty sugary but yeah.

>>15221211
>gin mixed with monster
>a "batman"?

My goto

>>15219608
It used to be a drink that only old grandmas liked

it's just vodka with stuff in it

My rankings:

1. Gray Whale
2. Bluecoat
POWERGAP
3. Hendricks
GAP
4. Aviation
POWERGAP
5. Bar Hill

All gins are good...but these are leagues above the others

I'm not paying 70+ for gin unless it's cures cancer, even if the negronis are phenomenal

>>15219611
That's all I've ever known it as. Aka pantydropper

>>15221834
i just bought bombay what should i get for >>15221532

>>15221843
For that drink, I would lean to Barr Hill (honey infused) or Gray Whale (distinct flavor profile that has fruits/nuts and can be drank straight)

I'm yet to look into it more seriously lol

>>15223012
My college pub had the Gordons at £1 a measure so that was fun

Gin tastes like tree sap.

>>15219608
>Why is it considered a womens drink?
Who the fuck says that? Where are you from?
Anyway I like a local gin has a nice end on the throat, great on its own, good for making cocktails, would be better if it were a little more strong

>>15219915
Tonic is a weird drink for most people, i like it on its own but it was a thing that growth on me, maybe try a tom collins you could like it

>>15223018
No it doesn't

>>15221324
Nice response, dumbfuck.
