The **Now Drinking** Thread

[Raptor]

From a supermarket.....these are very good:

Tanqueray No 10 (not the standard one, that's horrible)


There are others too, that's just off the top of my head.

Funny you should mention that...


As above!

School night tonight and a 4am get up, so only A few small Spiced Rums and a couple of cans of Telteys for me I'm afraid


Great thread!

I'm drinking a gin and tonic

I've never had one before, and its pretty grim

I'm using sainsbury's "dry london" gin and Morison's Indian tonic water though...

It reminds me of grapefruit juice (which I hate) in that its bitter and dry. is that what its meant to be like? It feels like it could do with a shot of sugar syrup to me lol.

Have I done goofed by getting the cheap stuff, or is it just not my bag?

With gin you get what you pay for, I can recommend:-

Gin's (Keep your Gin in the freezer)

Bombay Sapphire
Tanqueray No. Ten
The Botanist

Tonic

Fever Tree Indian Tonic Water
Fever Tree Mediterranean Tonic Water

Basic G&T Cocktail

50ml Gin
100ml Tonic Water (If your Gin's ABV is over 40% you may need a tad more Tonic)
Lots of Ice

Optionally add a squeeze of fresh lime or a couple of dashes of Angostura bitters.

For the glass try and use a Copa de Balon or large Burgundy red wine glass.

Thanks for the G&T wisdom guys.

I think I might wait until the summer and give it another bash then with some less tragic gin.

Just had a Chi'Ti Amber.. only 5.x% (for a conti beer that's low). Like it - sort of the taste of Inns & Gunn but not as sweet and not as taste-strong (more balanced).

Gin's (Keep your Gin in the freezer)

Do not do this. One of if not the worst things you can do for gin.

In fact, keep gin and any other spirits away from low temperature - it does nothing for them. It might improve the drinkability of bargain-basement vodka by inhibiting the harshness but that's about it.

Gin in the freezer?!?!

DO NOT DO THIS!

I'd like to know what you think of the Holy Cowbell.

Its possibly one of the worst things I have ever poured down my throat, which is surprising as I like all the other Beavertown offerings.

BrewDog Mr. President

Its 9.2% IPA. I didn't realise when I bought it!!!

It is horrible.

 

[KiwiTaff]

Had 3 bottles of Lindisfarne Mead last night! Glorious drinks. The sugar content certainly made me feel tired after a few drinks though!

A pint of lager shandy, finished work and I have an hour to kill before I pick my son up from school

Was not too bad, had worse, just not upto expectation if i do say, more of a hoppy stout than BIPA, what style do you prefer?

 

[aceface57]

Whiskey old fashioned, pretty nice.

Bulleit Rye, enjoying this a lot.

My favourite brewery by far.

If you like xocoveza, you must try Americano stout. Amazing.
