[QUOTE="Tim_Haggerty, post: 127526, member: 1190"] When gin hit London in the late 1700's, it was the equivalent of crack cocaine. Which is why the British spent so much time perfecting it. A Beefeater martini (with Martini & Rossi vermouth) is a gold standard, in my opinion, poured over ice, strained into a chilled glass, with an olive or lemon twist, if done correctly (alas, most bartenders have lost the ability to peel a lemon correctly, harvesting zest and avoiding pith) . In the summer, a Tanqueray and tonic in a tall glass with a slice of lime. The quinine in an anti-malarial, which I have successfully avoided due to diligent prophylaxis. A good accompanying bowl is a straight Virginia; I prefer to drink Scotch with a tobacco containing latakia. Life is good, in general, if these are our worst dilemmas. [/QUOTE]
