Lol. Taste buds. I drink Bombay Saphire by the litre. And I only put St Germain in Proseco. Have a fifth of it on hand. But never in a "martini". _ Bombay and Tanqueray are ok for a gin and tonic, but step it up for a martini (and all its variants). Hendricks, Beefeater (yes, Beefeater) and Plymouth are best for martinis. And don't tell people you drink prosecco. I'd sooner pour a glass of triple sec. Nothing wrong with adding a splash of liqueur to a drink to add some flavor, as long as it's the right liqueur for the drink. St. Germain and gin are perfect for each other. I like this booze disagreement. Just playfully giving you shit for drinking vodka "martinis," but drink what you like, dude. You can't mock vodka "martinis" then suggest you put a splash of elderflower liqueur (which I love BTW but the GF does not) as appropriate martini etiquette. BTW my Dad drank Beefeaters in his Gibsons and it's not anywhere close to Bombay IMHO. I was a huge Tanquery fan in college, so smooth but Bombay Sspphire is my Gin of choice now. Jerk face. _ |

I have a good idea.
Why don't we discuss what great libations we are drinking.
And not critique what we like.
Other than light beer.
And fucking Jaegermeister.

I never said a splash of St. Germain was etiquette, I said it was something I like to do occasionally. Penis breath. Like I said, Bombay is great in G&T's, but switch to Plymouth for martinis. You'll taste the goodness for the better. |

Well, no, it's a Gibson because of the onions. The St. Germain, an elderflower liqueur, is an addition to bring out the juniper in gin. Exercise your taste buds a bit, my friend. I said I'm a martini purist when it comes to gin vs vodka, but that doesn't mean I won't add a little to my drinks to make them more flavorful. Lol. Taste buds. I drink Bombay Saphire by the litre. And I only put St Germain in Proseco. Have a fifth of it on hand. But never in a "martini". _ I am a gin drinker. I cannot get used to this shit. Tanquery, Plymouth and Hendricks all day. The "blue" is even worse in my opinion. I have a bottle of each that no one ever touches. Try Jaspers gin from the Charleston distillery. You can buy it online. Their reapper vodka is hot but pretty good as well. I use it for bloody Marys and shots. |

Perhaps a Shirley Temple might be up your alley. -Local Microdistillery Navy-Strength Gin -Fever Tree Ginger Beer -Sweetened Lime Juice A favorite of mine.

Does it have an over-alcoholed taste and burn, or does it blend well? |

It has a exceptionally fresh, botanical taste. And it's now the only gin I buy, and I generally only drink gin in a mixed drink usually. It's taste shines through and complements a mixer. JMO. |
