Sup al/ck/aholics, I've been drinking gin and tonics recently and was wondering what you guys would suggest for brands. I've used Bombay Sapphire and Hendricks so far and been pretty content. Any other suggestions?
Best Brands of Gin
G&Ts I use Bombay Sapphire for everything else I use Tanqueray
Haven't really gotten into the "micro gins" or however you wanna call it
Brokers is great. Better than Tanq or Bombay I think.
Hendricks
Heard of Tanqueray, but never had it. Is it worth considering for Gin and Tonics, or best to stick with other brands?
Definitely my preference of the two, glad to know I'm not alone.
Alright, I'll look into it.
Imo it's the best all around gin, Sapphire has this refreshing taste I think compliments tonic really well, Hendricks is too sweet for me cuz of the cucumber, tanq goes good with anything but it's nothing really special it just doesn't taste like shit
Fair enough, I'll have to try it out. Any mixed drink suggestions for it?
Gimlet
Martini
G&T
Long Island Iced Tea
Awesome, I'll try some of those out. Thanks for the suggestions
Second this, Tanqueray is my go-to gin.
>Long Island Iced Tea
Mah nigga
ITT Plebian gin tastes.
If you want a very floral gin go for Botanist
St. Georges botanical is very good as well.
London Dry or bust you hipster
Pic related is my usual, but Beefeater's also decent. Both are affordable options.
Grim
Gordon's is literally made by Tanqueray. Look at the fine print on the front label next time. "Gordon Tanqueray something something", on the top right next to the main label.
Tanqueray, #1 gin of snoop Dogg
The regular and the Navy versions of Plymouth are pretty solid, although I haven't had the sloe version.
NEGRONIS OR DIE
Tanq 10 my nigga, shit's pretty nice
I had to give up gin. Could drink it straight like water and could never stop myself before it was too late. After I ruined a 2k computer I said no more gin then went to whiskey and rum.
Depends where you are and what you want.
78degrees is lovely with citrus flavours
Four Pillars Bloody Shiraz is a nice alternative to a Sloe
West Winds Cutlass is always a good mixing drink, it's very neutral.
Tanq also pretty solid.
snoop also endorses seagrams tho
Pic related is bretty gud
>doesn't drink his local gin
>Implying Seagram's is anyone's #1
He bought it for a party because it's cheap and decent and he knew
>Everybody has a cup but they ain't chipped in
This is the correct use of Seagram's top tier well liquor
Hendricks is the only gin worth buying. Burnett's is number two. That plastic bottle beats out that Tanqueray or Bombay bullshit.
