My Gin. Love it or hate it

Only tried gin once. Tasted like sucking on a pine tree. Never had it again.

How do you know what it tastes like to suck on a pine tree?  Kidney problems?  Coincidence?

Well, to me it tasted what pine sap smells like.  That tasting was >40 years ago.

Love a Gin & Tonic with lime on a hot day or a Tom Collins.

 

Usually on my bar is Bombay Sapphire or Citadelle ... I'll have to look for the one from Hammondsport.

 

I was still in college and went home to a friend’s for the weekend. It was hot, and they had a beautiful pool in the back yard with a brick deck and built-in kitchen. His father came out and made my first gin and tonic right in front of me. I was a college kid drinking cheap draft beer. It was really hot by the pool, and that was the best damn drink I have ever had in my life. Many decades later, I still remember that crisp and refreshing taste. 

 

I’m not sure if I ever had another, but I remember that one. I’m a beer and wine guy now, without much beer. Don’t ask about my 19th BDay and Wild Turkey.

Guessing you’re a limbo champion.
