Scrumpy Jack's much better than gin.  Gin's for depressed ladies.

Opihr: Because she's worth it.

Pete,

CHANGES & I were just discussing the merits of older women.

Older women for me every time, whether they drink Gin or not, but if they do, the more the better!

Was in Madrid a few years back. Work colleague was chatting up a youngish (early 20's) Canadian Student and she was "concerned" I wasn't giving her any attention too (to be frank I was more in to the Manchebo and other cheeses and the different Rioja's on offer).  Told her that based on her looks, she must have a really hot mother and asked her is she was over in Madrid too and what she was doing for dinner!  Needless to say she was shocked - then showed me a picture of her said "hot mother" and explained it was a shame she was in canada as I'd have made her night!  Lol.

As for Gin, I tend to drink it more and more in the buff - in other words with not a lot added to it. So a nice wedge of lime, lemon, slither of cucumber, pomegranate seeds, whatever, ice on top then poor the gin over the top - no tonic etc.  Lovely.

In a Martini, I quite like Bombay Sapphire, the Vermouth swirled around the chilled glass and the discarded, with a twist of grapefruit. Lovely.......

Have a bit if a collection now. Always drunk neat with nothing added. Sometimes from the freezer.

Cheap date:

Monkey 47

Bathtub Old Tom

Pinkster

Hoxtons

Garden Tiger

Whitley Niel

Brennen & Brown Ginger

 

I'm sure there are a couple of more lurking around.

For those interested Brennen & Brown do an excellent lab experience where you can make you on gin. Mine is called Ginger Tom. They will keep the recipe and make more if you wish.

Like you have a choice.

Seeing the reference to Churchill and martinis.....here is the X-15 pilot Scott Crossfield's recipe for a dry martini.

You need:

Cocktail jug

Stirrer

Ice

Gin

Vermouth

25 watt lightbulb

Twist of lemon peel

Method: Put ice into cocktail jug. Add gin. Shine light from 25 watt bulb through the vermouth bottle so that the light falls upon the cocktail jug. Stir vigorously for a few seconds. Strain into martini glass and add the oils from the twist of lemon peel.

Drink.

Repeat at suitable intervals.

I believe it was Scott Crossfield who said the X-15 was the only aeroplane he had ever flown where his feeling when the fuel ran out was one of relief....(!)

I have it on the highest TLF authority that he's none too choosy.

Always choose the grateful one.

FTFY.

One cannot tell if they're grateful until after the event. No, it's OK, don't thank me.

As they say in Thailand, Same Same.
