Gin
After basically three years of rather piss poor drinking standards. I have spent most of the summer and fall so far elevating my drinking and tastes beyond the level of take a cheap bottle of Pop Off Vodka (smells like lighter fluid and tastes a little bit like what windshield wash smells like) and mixing it with a ton of Coca-Cola. It was something that for the longest time turned me off to vodka.
Since starting I have managed to come to add vodka as well as a variety of rums to my drinking know-how and tolerance. Making for much more fun and tasty drinking experiances on the occasions I’m going out or drinking with the roommates. The Which leaves me sitting with my only remaining booze to struggle with.
Absinthe! (Sshh…That’s coming later)
GIN!
My experience with Gin has been limited to Gin Buckets, which have resulted in a lot of vomiting and very little enjoyment on my part. So I want to reaclimate myself with this clear liquor hell but have no idea where to start.
So what is a good but not too expensive gin & what are good cocktails with it aside from the simple Gin & Tonic?
