Help Settle A Bet Related To Gin & Tonics (1 Viewer)

[Mr. Pickles]

Who still drinks tonic? Didn't we eradicate polio already?

I like the rich blue hue of a good quinine.

 

[spOOfy]

Lime.

This is not up for debate.

I actually drink my Gin with Sprite or 7Up.

Can't drink it neat. Pine tar taste is just too overpowering then.

Gin is the original flavored vodka and tonic is just high sugar, high calorie soda like Sprite. A thread about G&T's isn't a thread to be embarrassed in any more than you'd be embarrassed about drinking your Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey with Coke.

I can only guess people put on airs when it comes to G&T's because those sophisticated Brits drink them, but there's not much cause for it.

I like gin, but we're not talking about a 20 year old single barrel bourbon here.

Go buy a bottle of Nolet's Reserve and report back

I love how chet's contributions to the FFA yesterday were about appropriate garnishes to g&t's and outrage over how someone does a street trials bike move on a parked Lamborghini.

Does it get more chet than that?

Pride bet with my BIL.

Just barely

If you haven't had a Gin and Tonic made with Tonic Syrup you are missing out big time.

This brand is ridiculous. You'll never use bottled Tonic Water again.

Agreed. I haven't tried yours, but I'm sure it's delicious. Here's another one, that I use:

These are also excellent, if you aren't inclined to mix your own...

I noticed that too. Makes it easier to read it all getting Thurston Howell accent

I kinda do the same thing in my mind. But TH was a luxury box kinda guy; Chet's a front row ringside kinda guy. I picture a fishing reel pinky ring.
