Who drinks Gin and Tonic? (1 Viewer)

[Frostillicus]

This is important.

 

[rockaction]

Gin and tonic was probably my favorite drink in my twenties. All of my friends and I used to order it.

I think Sloe Gin is the girl drink. Maybe things have changed (I once thought that even a basically straight gin martini was a bit girly, and changed my mind as soon as I had one).

 

[Kendall The Great]

DEEEEEEEZ NUUUUUUTZ!!!

 

[King of the Jungle]

Summer gin & tonic, winter/fall whiskey. There is little I would rather have on a hot day.

 

[msommer]

I do and so does my wife. So I voted neutral

 

[Arizona Ron]

I'm hooked on gin and tonics like your momma's hooked on Phonics

 

[Abraham]

I used to have Gin and Tonic as my go to drink while playing Craps. No idea why or how this came to be.

 

[bushdocda]

I'll have a Bombay and Bombay.

 

[bigbottom]

In my circle, the girls are drinking vodka/cran, vodka/tonic and vodka/soda when it comes to hard liquor. The guys are drinking a variety - scotch, bourbon, gin, vodka. The girls aren't ordering gin.

 

[McGarnicle]

I usually have a few g&t's in the morning with my bagel.

 

[CletiusMaximus]

Still the best summer cocktail. Copper mugs not required.

Indeed, my drink of choice at the beach. Wife's, too.

 

[randall146]

Great summer drink, particularly at daytime weddings

 

[culdeus]

Tanq

Yeah, I don't think I've been with a girl who ordered a gin and tonic.

 

[Treynwreck3]

I'll echo the sentiments of others; this is a fantastic hot weather libation. Bombay Sapphire with fresh tonic and a generous squeeze of lime in a tall glass full of ice. Yep.

 

[culdeus]

What's this about a copper mug

 

[thayman]

You need tonic syrup. 10x better

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

I'm aware of no world where gin and tonics are chick drinks. Chicks don't tend to like gin. Gin and tonics are magnificent when made in the Spanish style. Big red wine glass full of ice, some sort of citrus peel (I think an actual hunk of fruit or juice unbalances the drink), and some care taken in the gin/tonic pairing. Perhaps the most refreshing drink in the world.

I just can't get into gin... may have to give this another go, though.

 

[Koya]

Prefer a Gimlet rocks but a G&T on a hot day is mighty soothing

I've been partial to fever tree lately.

[Da Guru]

Used to drink gin all the time when I was in my late 20s. My problem was that drinking gin= bad decision making for me

 

[fantasycurse42]

Lately I've been on a Gimlet run....

 

[D in the D]

a Malibu and coke for you and a G&T for me......

I make my own gin.

 

[El Floppo]

Hendricks & tonic.

already said- but great summer drink. I like them year-round. don't know many/any women who drink gin.

 

[Don Quixote]

The old man sitting next to me...

I love gin and tonics, but I've never seen a woman drink one.

in my 30s drinking gin turned into to = cleaning my house

My wife makes sure that I have fresh bottle every year before the holidays

 

[Bob Loblaw]

Only when I'm drunk... only when I'm drunk

Big on vodka and tonics - #1 drink for me. Not crazy about the taste of gin AND it comes out my pores the next morning. I smell like a ####### Christmas tree.

 

[Dentist]

tonic sucks. Gin and club soda is where it is at both for taste and cutting calories... tonic is heavy calories and lots of sugar.

Girls I know are pretty much only drinking vodka based drinks in my parts... the flavored vodkas are killing it in that segment.

 

[bierfiend]

i haven't seen many women order G&T.

i like hendricks and tanqueray rangpur

 

[Wrigley]

Gin makes me more attractive.

 

[chet]

I've been trying to track down Martin Miller gin. Supposedly, it's spectacular. Anyone ever try it?

 

[King of the Jungle]

Gin has replaced vodka in my bloody mary's. I will never go back.

 

[moleculo]

I've only seen one woman drink gin, and she was well over 80 at the time.

So I voted neutral.

Yep. Tanqueray and Tonic in my twenties. Switched to vodka afterwards.

 

[ydoc]

has to be tanqueray....

A Gimlet is a very underappreciated drink, if made correctly

It must not be a refreshing way to wash down Big Macs and cheesecake.

 

[El Floppo]

you prefer that to some of the others, like Hendricks and Boodles?

Tanqueray is what I'll drink if there's literally nothing else at the bar.

 

[The Dreaded Marco]

Tanq 10 & Tonic is my favorite.

Hendricks or Tanq 10 for martinis.

I've personally never seen it, but the only woman I know of that drank gin was my wife's grandmother. In her 70's/80's gin was her morning drink (then Virginia Gentleman bourbon after noon).
