Cheap gin is horrible. It’s too difficult to make the stuff whilst skimping on the botanicals and the distillation.
When I was a young man, a close friend used to host “gin and tonic fests” every year. “Festival strength” was 1/2 and 1/2. But there were rules. Only Schweppes tonic water & fresh limes, and ALWAYS top shelf gin. No skimping, so it made for a terrific party. Plenty of food, too.

I can’t drink something that smells and tastes like Christmas trees!

Are people who habitually over-indulge drinking gin … ginnie pigs?

Gin tastes like a Christmas tree to me.

When did this toon come back? Went backwards thru Sep. Mr. (or Miss or Mrs.) B, your toon is the best!

I like tonic especially with a little lime. And it glows under black lights.

I never acquired a taste for gin. Scotch was the poison of choice for me. I haven’t had scotch or any hard liquor in several decades.

Perhaps we should try the seasonal pumpkin spice gin.

Oh Aunty, how would you know, you haven’t acted like an adult YET.

I can’t remember ever having straight tonic. Unless Cananda Dry comes in Maple flavor, I doubt I ever will.

I discovered that it was the tonic I hated and not the gin when someone made me a gin and 7-Up.

Definitely the gin. I haven’t discovered anything that sufficiently disguises the foul taste of gin.
