NJ2 Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Cheers, lads.I can’t really do tonic water in gin tbh, it’s lemonade I like it with though that is probably seriously frowned upon my the avid gin drinker (not naming any names). I’ve not read the rest so someone might have already suggested, but I’d get a flavoured gin (Edinburgh gin do some tremendous ones) with a wee bit lemonade. I’ve been known to drink a whole bottle of the raspberry one (with lemonade) over the course of an evening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Edinburgh Gin do a tasty raspberry liquer thing. Only about 30% but very tasty to wash down your beers etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet Pete Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 As students, my friends (yes, actually had a group of friends) and I would sometimes experiment with different booze evenings (rather than the usual cocktail of wine, beer, vodka, drugs etc). Buckfast night always ended in an aggressive shambles and gin night always ended with morose folk crying on the landing and staircase. I should have done science rather than a layabout subject. My bird can't drink gin, guaranteed recipe for tears and snotters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drink buckfast before you go out then gin when you’re out. You’ll end up with another black eye and crying about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the mothers weren't ruined on gin they wouldn't need dishwashers - It's all linked. Bitter lemon rather than tonic with gin is far better.

weirdcal Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Despite the headlines it's not my first choice...I prefer a good red wine or a bottle case of London Pride....but my current 'friend' likes a G&T and I bought a bottle of Tanquery 10 a few weeks ago and it's about the best I've tried. Not a perfumey as many. The wee tins of Schweppes tonic (the big bottles go flat quickly) and a quarter of a lime make for a decent drink. Tanqueray 10 and the russian Schweppes asda knock of stuff is perfect together. (Only because i cant get Schweppes russian any more)Oh and tanqueray rangpour is even better than 10 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Only because i cant get Schweppes russian any more) Oh and tanqueray rangpour is even better than 10 This is a bit of a throwback. When I came to London for Uni in 1981 I was seeing a girl who drank gin and Russian which was some sort of pink mixer alternative to tonic. I often got laughed at because I pronounced 'Russian' with 3 syllables (as is normal for Scots) whereas English people tend to pronounce it with 2 syllables. I'd never heard of the mixer since the 80s until now but I see there's some mixer call 'Russchian' available. Is it the same thing? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is it pronounced with 3? I've genuinely never heard it pronounced any other way than the way I've written it there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never heard it said that way though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
