Last night I had the best gin martini ever! I've been a Hendricks guy since I discovered it several

years ago. Last evening when I ordered a Hendricks martini the bartender asked if I'd like a better gin. There is nothing better I said. She said try this, if you don't think it's better I'll pay for it and buy you a Hendricks.

It was Brilliant!

Great gin makes it that much better.

I'll remember Greenhook Ginsmiths the next time I want to throw caution to the wind!

Ever try a Dutch Genever? It's smoother than gin. It's as smooth as a... as a really smooth thing:

and us beggers couldn't be choosers = Fleishman ,Old Mr. Boston or what ever crap we could score .

my first encounter with gin was also my first encounter with passing out and being very lucky that I didn't get the shit kicked out of me

So I haven't had any gin since around 1965 BUT now I will try this brand --------do you know what kind of vermouth was used ?
