Some people seem to be mistaking cupboards for bars.

What is a bar?
a counter across which drinks or refreshments are served.
"standing at the bar"

what is everyones fancination with warm gin on here ?

Fashion. A bit like lager. Get hooked on the sterile crap taste and anything with flavour tastes crap. Logical.

Once poured over Ice it doesn't make a difference. Bars don't store gin in fridges. Ice cools it.

Cold gin poured over ice is colder than warm gin poured over ice, isn't it?

I was thinking exactly the same thing, my Mum had a proper bar.

All gin bars I drink in have the selection on the counter behind the bar. None of it is chilled. Its not "Warm" its at ambient room temperature. I think people are being way too fussy here.

Oh to be able to have that amount of drink in the house at one time

You want your gin at room temperature so that it will take up flavour from your lime/lemon/whatever. Add the slice to the gin. Wait. Add lots of ice. Wait. Add tonic.

Bananas in the fridge? I thought that made them go funny!

No they'll both be around 0c when mixed properly unless you cooled your gin below freezing.

So much fail

Thats how I do it, tonic from the fridge, room temp gin and ice. I add frozen raspberrys to some gins

I have the following:

I would be dead within a week if I had that at home

 

[Puzzled]

how so?

Surely you don't drink lager warm? That's just nasty

Nope, I put a few cans/bottles in the fridge the day before - so they are cold for the day of consumption.

My fridge has 4 cans hidden away at the back now actually.
