Smash Boy Report post Posted July 16, 2011 Wanted to see if we had gin drinkers on board....besides Kane. The big 3 to me are Hendricks, Tanqueray (10), and Bombay...don't know any other brands on that level. Not sure if I'm good enough to differentiate between the 3. I usually drink gin & tonics, and gimlets, rarely martinis, or shots. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rawr Report post Posted July 16, 2011 You guys ever tried Tang and Red Bull? Surprisingly good from what I could remember Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kane00 Report post Posted July 16, 2011 You speak my language!!!!!! Even though Sapphire is my favorite, try 209 and Bluecoat. They are small batch Gin's that are very good. Also one of my favorites is Junipero, made by The Anchor Steam brewery. Probably my 2nd next to Bombay. And, it will kick you in the head. Says its 98.5 proof, but seems higher.

Hendricks was put on to me about two years ago...like it. I'll check out amsterdam and quintessential. You guys ever tried Tang and Red Bull? Surprisingly good from what I could remember Will have to try it out for kicks. You speak my language!!!!!! Even though Sapphire is my favorite, try 209 and Bluecoat.

Says its 98.5 proof, but seems higher. Nice list I'll have to try it out. I take it you rank your gins in outright punching power over smoothness? I noticed 209 and Amsterdam had a lot of great recipes....can't wait to experiment. What we lack in the US (in most bars/lounges) is the appreciation for real cocktails....ones made by people who care, measured precisely with jiggers, fresh ingredients, and takes 1-2 minutes to make. I rarely order complicated drinks unless it's in the few esteemed cocktail bars in major cities. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

porter Report post Posted July 17, 2011 Bombay with tonic short pour, or Tanq and dry verm for martinis, dirtier the better. Blue cheese stuffed olives preferred. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
