Tim,
As my Sicilian wife might say; "Not for nothing, but what the fuck do you know? You just beat the shit out of your gas tank with a ball peen hammer."
Just kidding. I prefer Gin too. But a Tom Collins? WTF?
Where are all the Grey Goose, velo, fixxie, phairie, poser, urbane, clubman, knee dent, '59, ton up, chequered out, again to quote the Sicilian "pieces of shit" Vodka drinkers?
I tried to get into Martinis. Even bought a real Martini glass. I just couldn't enjoy 'em, tasted too much like rocket fuel to me. Gak.
I do enjoy a Gin and Tonic, or a good Rum and Tonic. Vodka and Tonic not so much...in fact I can't remember why I have Vodka, maybe for Bloddy Marys as Ken suggests.
We've been sipping Margaritas this summer, with the occasional Strawberry Dacqueri made with garden fresh strawberries, but they're almost done.
Vodka- I just can't find the groove, I'm cool then all the sudden I'm S-faced with no warning. So i'm going with gin but only 'cause we already drank the bourbon, scotch, rum and beer.
cheers, bcr
Well my vote will have to go towards the gin...as a suggestion to my fellow builders/riders go with a little gin and dew. this is my fav. and seems to work great on a hot day in the sun.
Me? doesn't matter; Gin, Vodka: they're equally flammable when setting fire to hipsters.
But as a libation, they're both a little too brisk, kind of what I imagine a 500cc Motogp 2 stroke might have been like. Maybe it's my inability to sip.
How about a nice India Pale Ale? Kind of like a big single four-stroke. Make it a port and polish job and have it a double IPA...out here in the Bay Area, Lagunitas brewery makes a bunch of pleasant examples. What do you guys have on the East coast?
I'm a Tito's or Kettle One (SP?) martini guy. But I do love some gin as well. Hendricks and tonic or soda is the way to go. It's just too hot in Texas for beer right now.
And yes, if imprudent, I can go from zero pissed in no time flat.
Glad to see we have so many Gin drinkers here. Hendricks is the best available for my money. http://www.hendricksgin.co.uk/us/about/index.asp My ABC store (VA) doesnt carry it, so i have to have them order it for me. Nothing like getting calls from a liquor store telling you your booze is in. 14oz Rocks GLass > 2 cubes > Gin to about 75% > Tonic to about 90% > Lime on top.
Wait, what, too hot for beer? what does that mean? a joke, right?
I always thought that vodka was meant for martinis, but grandma and grandpas interpretation of martini was: glass, ice, vodka, repeat until asleep
Gin reminds me of pinesol. vodka makes me black out and get way too drunk. I'm a scotch, whiskey, bourbon drinker. a little water or ginger thrown in there...mmmm thats good squishy.
