    I love gin...a lot of people hate it.

    my favorite alcoholic beverage is Beefeater on ice with lime juice...it's delicious.

    who seconds this as the single best drink on the planet!?

    I used to hate Gin, but now I love it.

    I always order it as Gin on the Rocks with an Olive in restaurants or bars though, because a very dry martini can mean just about anything these days....and I like the ice to help take the place of vermouth.

    Bombai Saphire unless someone else buys something. It has a higher proof and tastes very smooth, so it's economical too. It is top shelf, so it's a little extra though. (Plymouth, Hendrix, Tangare 10 are also nice.)

    (For some reason the last few times I bought booze I've been doing margaritas (real ones: one part triple sec, one part lime juice (unsweetened from actual lime), three parts tequila. The stuff you get in bars can be soooo bad sometimes, I've given up trying unless I know the place.))

    I love gin too. Most people hate it because the taste is too damn distinct, very piney. But if i'm in a bar, it's usually a double gin on the rocks.

    The only hard alcohol I like better is scotch.

    Not to be off topic, but yeah! (I just ran out of tequila last night.)
    It's a serious drink when you make them right!

    Love gin!! There's so much you can do with it and it tastes fantastic...gin and tonic with lime or mint leaves is the most refreshing thing you can have :)

    gin = :puke: for me...

    I don't like the taste at all, and it ruins my Long Islands, turns my tummy sideways. But I don't really like alcohol. If I drink its Patron silver, in shots like tequila should be drinken.

    But I do like having liquid marijuana parties, they are ALWAYS fun.
