I'm sorry for that. I am far from a perfect person or a perfect reasoner, so please be patient with me that, by the hope of some exceptional grace, I might evolve.<br /><br />I love Martinis and Manhattans. There are lots of good bars around the area I live. Looking forward to the day when we can enjoy drinks together.HolyKnowinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06109864288446595298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8954608646904080796.post-56887349207434008242023-01-02T12:28:14.610-08:002023-01-02T12:28:14.610-08:00Now, there's a topic truly worthy of a profess...Now, there's a topic truly worthy of a professional philosopher"s attention! <br /><br />How about dropping a few thoughts here as I try to make the registration process work. <br /><br />There are of course sites dedicated to the topic of reviewing gins. Some of the reviews are surprisingly positive, but they make sense if you think about it. https://theginisin.com/gin-reviews/gordons-gin/ or https://theginisin.com/gin-reviews/booths-gin/ . <br /><br />Frankly, enjoying a distinct note of juniper - and why bother with gin otherwise - I find I like Gordon's just fine at six to one, shaken, and yes, with a squeeze of zest after the pour. Hell, make a day of it and toss in a blue cheese stuffed olive as well. Might need a rocks or double old fashioned glass to fit however. <br /><br />Really though, the drink is best in a classic sized martini glass of 4 to 6 Oz capacity. The Poles produce some good cocktail glasses sold in the U.S. at the stores your wife or mothers shop at.<br /><br />And, nothing wrong and very much is right with old Dad's favorite, Beefeater's too. Nor much to criticize in Bombay, nor Tanqueray. <br /><br />Mention was made earlier of Gilbey's. It's an almost forgotten workhorse as well. Remember seeing it in a frosted bottle when I was a kid.DNWnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8954608646904080796.post-6667394700243512302023-01-01T18:44:59.276-08:002023-01-01T18:44:59.276-08:00Happy New Year!
