Any gin drinkers here?

Actually, I used to drink Grappa, Greek Ouzo and Turkish Raki. All similar drinks. Preferred Grappa the best though.

I've gotten into Arak over the last few years also. The little Syrian gyro shop near me, the owner is a Maronite, introduced me to "Lion's milk."

WRT @spike.t - another libation for which I've acquired the taste is grappa and it's South American 1st cousin, pisco. I sometimes wonder if I'm the only non-Guinea in the world who enjoys the stuff.

The first time I tried pisco I thought it was a nasty joke and some paint thinner was served to me. The second time I tried pisco I was sure a paint thinner was served to me. The third time...well, I learned my lesson after the second time.

I'm a fan of Bombay Sapphire.

Another throwback photo of a good gin memory below. After a challenging day of sailing in high winds and choppy seas from Sesimbra to Cascais Portugal, it was nice to have my feet on solid ground and a generous sized Bombay G&T sitting in front of me. That was a nice way to wind down. I think we went back to the boat & had sardines for supper.

Here are 2 good Gins from Bourbon Country. Both are excellent (at least according to me).

There are a couple distilleries near Austin, Texas turning out some decent, though certainly not spendy, Gin.

Western Son makes a nice gin that has a sort of cucumber note to it. Dripping Springs also has a decent one, mildly floral to me.
