Several Roku & Tonics in atm. Delightful in the sun
I like Roku.
Someone bought me the Ryan Reynolds [Poor language removed] for my birthday, It's alright but over priced.

This is probably my favourite gin;

Very nice indeed if a little pricey. (500ml bottle)
Hernö Old Tom Gin
From the Swedish Hernö distillers comes a sweet, lip-smacking Old Tom Gin.

Argh, wrong thread....so that's enough gin for me today, I think
My dad loved Beefeater so much it was part of my childhood. I grew up thinking Beefeater was it's own category of liquor, not one of many. He used to buy us beer as 15yr olds just so that we didn't raid his Beefeater. We could do lots of bad stuff, but if we touched his Beefeater, the hammer came down. He would dismiss Tanqueray as "merely perfumey" and had no patience for other gins. He was old school. Every time we'd go out to eat it was the same routine: (in a raspy voice): Beefeater martini on the rocks, very light on vermouth, with a twist. On more than one occasion over many years, some were sent back because the poor waitstaff probably used Smirnoff or some other gin. I would cringe in embarrassment during these moments. He was the one who told me the quote that a good dry martini was made by pouring the gin in a glass by a window, and then waving the bottle of vermouth in front of it so the sun's rays could impart their flavor through the green vermouth bottle into the gin. Once when we were flying on a family vacation (very much pre-9/11 security measures, probably early 80s) he had put two of those little glass hotel-bar-bottles full of gin in the freezer so that he could bring them on the plane to top-up his drinks. On the way through security they were in his breast pocket of his sport jacket and one burst and he had to do the whole plane ride smelling like a gin-mill. I also remember when I was 17, he walked into my room and told me that there is a conspiracy against him at Beefeater to change the formula of their taste of gin (let that sink in). Sure dad.
In any case, I love gin--a good G&T or a Gimlet--but I don't drink it that much any more. Bad hangovers.

Should really be put it in 'The Minor Things That Make You Fume' thread.
It was always a drink that certain few people drank, but really not a popular drink.
I mean you would only ever find about 2 types at most in a popular pub, like Gordons and Bombay Saphire.
And then 'Bang' out of nowhere ( well obviously social media ) it suddenly became the Cool Gang drink.
And just like that, everybody is suddenly drinking and Raving about a drink they would of never touched before.
Utter Cringe Day !!!!
