A Man's Primer on Gin from The Art of Manliness.
I tried a gin drink once. I had gone to a local area...well, I don't know what to call it. It wasn't a bar, because it was too "classy" for that. Oh yeah, it was called Chelsea Street Pub, so I guess it was pub. Anyway, I was there with two friends, and myself and one of them decided to try a gin drink.
It was horrible. I had paid for it, so I drank it all, but I didn't enjoy it. We both agreed that it tasted like Kool-Aid-flavored turpentine.
Maybe it was just bad gin. I don't know. I never will know, because I'll never drink gin again.
I'm more of a beer guy, rarely even touching the hard stuff anymore, but in my youth I had a co-worker lady who got me to try Gin and Grapefruit juice. Not bad actually.
ReplyDeleteChelsea Street Pub (the one at Ingram Park Mall) - we used to love that place. We'd shop at the mall, then take our kids in for a mountain of nachos and be gone before the bands started playing. For a mall pub, not bad.
We would go to the one at Windsor Park Mall. That's where I first had a hot buttered rum, which I still make at home now and then when the weather is cold.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely abhor grapefruit. You can put that right up there with avocado for things that make my stomach churn.
