Monkey 47 gin martini. Best gin around.

Where gin is concerned, we've always been "anything that starts with a 'b'" people, but the Tanqueray Rangpur Lime version has us hooked lately.

You mean the Banqueray Bangpur Bime?

I use lime flavored tonic water in my gin & tonics.

Also, if you have the opportunity, have @ChaosRock make you a g&t. Still the best I've had.

The Monkey started the gin hype in Germany 15 or so years ago. It‘s still my favorite and I have tried many different gins.

Close, but no banana...

We've tried that at Anna Maria, but he drinks them faster than he makes them.

Waiting for poker chips to dry felt like the perfect time to do a gin inventory. Or… a GINVENTORY, if you will. Anyone else out there big into gin? If so, what are your favorites?

As much as I love trying new gins, I keep coming back to Tanqueray or another London Dry. That Engine Organic Gin (looks like an oil can) is quite good. That and The Botanist probably my current favorites.

LOVE gin...at least I did before I stopped drinking. My 3 go to gins in order of preference are Gunpowder Irish Gin, Bombay Saphire, and Tanqueray.

To my surprise, the only gin I ever hated was Hendricks. Maybe my expectations were too high, but I thought it taste like shit. Expensive shit...LOL.

So I'm curious, have you ever done a blind taste test? If not, I think you might be surprised. I was positive I could tell the difference, so I made 3 GnTs (Bombay, Tanqueray, and Aviation) put labels on the bottom, and asked my wife to mix up the order. They all tasted the same, which really freaked me out.

I have. I've also had the benefit of making gin, being in the alcohol industry. So I might have an annoyingly detailed palate when it comes to gin. Which is why I prefer Tanqueray. Straight down the middle. =) Your other favorites are also great.

Fords for a G&T or Negroni. Tanqueray for a Vesper.

I'm far from experienced or knowledgeable when it comes to gin, but I do enjoy it.

New Amsterdam Stratusphere (yes that's how they spell it) is the one bottle that's always on my bar. Often I will also have a bottle of Botanist.

I'm a fan of the Martini, Vesper, G&T, and Martinez. I'm sure I've had a few other gin-based cocktails that I like, but those are my go-tos.

Has anyone tasted Gray Whale, from California Botanicals? $34.99/750ml (on "sale") in FL Publix stores...

Yes. And it’s definitely worth it at that price. It’s on the herbal side but quite nice.

Gin is my alcohol of choice.

Favorite Gin is Junipero, followed by Malfy and Tanqueray Ten.

A lot of good Gin out there any more Aviation, Plymouth, Gunpowder, Bombay Sapphire, etc.

I've got some Monkey 47, but haven't tried it yet.

Least favorite is Nolet's, did not like it at all.

I use Q tonic and club soda.

Good point -- the tonic water is just as important to a good gin & tonic as the gin.

How’d I miss this thread?!?!

From a gin tasting we did this summer. Me trying to convince my buddies there’s a bigger gin world than just Tanqueray.

Even have my favorite, Junipero.

Here are a few of my fave gin cocktails with no bubbles.

Hey there, I use Highball too! Here's a drink I really enjoy. I got it from a restaurant in Denver, CO. No Gin, but it's a good one.

Try substituting 1 Fez for 1 Funky Cold...

I absolutey love Hendrick's w tonic and cucumber slices on the side. What is that Hendrick's Orbium? Never heard of it.

In case it’s of any use to anyone, here’s the handout we used to help organize our gin tasting.
