G&T - Is it a womans drink?

[anonymous-user]

Of course it isn't! It's the mixer of kings, sir.

Now, make mine a double

[308mate]

No. Its mothers milk and perfect for week nights at home when I've polished off all the beer.

You cant beat Hendrick's mixed with tonic, ice and a slice of lime, especially in the summer.

slice of cucumber

I think you'll find that's Pimms.

And it's not a slice of lime, it's a quarter and it should be run round the rim of the glass prior to serving.

Might have to try that. I like lime, rub it around the rim of the glass first

It's the way to serve Hendricks, although the first time I had Hendricks and it had the cucumber I couldn't work out why it tasted of cucumber (I hadn't noticed the cucumber actually was cucumber and had assumed it was lime).

It wasn't until somone pointed out the cucumber that it all clicked....

...Then it further clicked when I found out Hendricks is actually made with cucumber anyway...

Double D'oh!

ETA: mattley, Pimms maybe you're right, but Hendricks definitely is.

Rum for the ratings and gin for the officers.

Oops I just checked on Hendricks.

Cucumber!!! how wrong is that?????

Actually several years ago ASDA own brand won the which? taste test but I just couldn't bring myself go there to find out.

What a stoopid question. G&T is an archetypal gentleman's drink (in the Terry Thomas mould).

You'll be asking if pints are gay next.

Me too, tried it with cucumber but its not to my taste, I prefer a slice of lemon, I do like Hendricks though.

Aye, sorry, wasn't being a drink fascist ( I hate that nono smiley, it's really aggro).

Drink everything to your own taste, that's what I say.

You drink it I thought people just used it to clean jewelery.

Quite. If one has to ask, one clearly has no culture.

[OllieWinchester]

Bombay Sapphire, full fat tonic, ice and fresh lime. MMmmmm.

Gin and Tonic.

Desperately civilised. But one does need to make it a "manly" one (as a good friend says...). This is achieved by no less than a fifty/fifty mix of gin to tonic. Then add the ice and a slice.

I can attest that too many of those whilst cooking are not a good idea.

I raised a similar question a while back:

agreed there Don, they can slip down a little too easily while working over a hot stove.

I do like a Gin, Lemonade and Lime on occasion, I sometimes find Tonic a little too bitter, again with the 60/40 gin bias.










sorry, I meant 70/30.

[Prometheus]

I like a gin and tonic on a summer's evening but I also like gin neat, from the freezer, but it has to be a good one if you're going to drink it like that.
