I like to mix gin with Roundup, it seems to increase the potency and kills the weeds faster, and for many years.

32 years ago when I married my wife she drank gin. I encouraged her to do so, it made her clothes fall off.

Gin just recently became my drink of choice. Park Distillery Alpine Gin out of Banff is fantastic imo.

My drinks usually have a ton of ice, generous amount of lime juice, half and half gin and tonic.

Another mix I discovered this Christmas is gin with cranberry ginger ale! Delicious but dangerous.... Lol

I discovered sapphire and regular grapefruit juice about 15 years ago when I cut carbs out of my diet. I was 290lbs and inside of 8 months I dropped to 197lbs. Naturally I was very active also but gin and grapefruit act as a warp speed on your metabolism. Been drinking sapphire ever since.

Never heard/though of grapefruit juice with my sapphire, going to give a try.
Thanks

Gin, grain alcohol flavored with Juniper berries. No appeal there for me.

GT Squared was my drink of choice for years. Walk into my favourite bar and the double was already poured. Sapphire, Tanqueray and Hendricks were my favourite. Switched to soda water and vodka and haven’t looked back. Find tonic water way too sweet now and the calories are huge.
