what do you have with your gin, Lovely Lampito?

( Lisette von Falcon, Fri 6 May 2011, 15:31, 1 reply, 15 years ago)

It depends!
Either lemonade, ginger ale or if I'm really really bad fizzy Vimto. I will drink tonic but it's not my favourite.

Not had gin + ginger ale
I will rectify this
( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Fri 6 May 2011, 15:33, Reply)

It is delicious.
Sweeter than tonic, not as sweet as lemonade. Tastes a bit of green and gardens.
Not ginger beer, though.

I want to recreate a cocktail I had called Garden
IIRC it was gin, apple juice, lemonade, mint and cucumber. Possibly another spirit in there too.
( Lampito rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun, Fri 6 May 2011, 15:37, Reply)

Remove the cucumber and I'm there (vicar)

( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Fri 6 May 2011, 15:38, Reply)

I had made cucumber lime margarita jello shooters and they SUCKED.
I was so mad, if it wasn't all mealy and congealed it would have been tasty and awesome.

This is why I love crown and coke, tastes of lovely LOVELY pine! I may have this tonight.

What's crown?

( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Fri 6 May 2011, 15:39, Reply)

Crown Royal, Canadian Whisky
All the deliciousness of Jack without giving me the attitude of the century.

Not found a whisky (or whiskey) that I like as yet
All tastes like earth to me
( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Fri 6 May 2011, 15:41, Reply)

I love it.
I can't drink it straight, but I notice that as time goes on, and drinks get poured, there seems to be more whisky and less coke. And it's sooooooooo good.

I simply adore G&T.
Love. It.

Best of all the drinks

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Fri 6 May 2011, 15:37, Reply)

I was given G&T "spanish style" where they froth up the tonic or something
It was very nice and tasted different

When I was about 7 or 8..
..I downed a glass I saw sitting in the kitchen of what I thought was water. That put me off gin for life.

This is the third time I've tried to post this :(
I can see the appeal of them on hot days, when lemonade is too cloying. But I don't like the taste of quinine- aniseed is another of those sort of things I just can't stand.

Gin and lemonade is sacreligous

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Fri 6 May 2011, 15:43, Reply)

It's tastier than tonic.

I've had many a night on cider like that. I just drink less.
Last time I had absinthe I ended up painted blue.
( Lampito rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun, Fri 6 May 2011, 15:48, Reply)

First time I had absinthe was my flat warming
which was slightly more literal than intended as my mate managed to set fire to his hand (covered in absinthe) and also burn my carpet. The cunt

hahahahahaha wtf
about a month and a half ago it was snowing outside and there was a bear in the neighbors driveway, the roommates wanted to get a better picture but they didn't want to get too close
so I offered to slap in on the arse to get it over to where we were, I think I got about 8 feet away before they jerked me back

One of my friend emigrated to Canada a while ago
He woke up one night thinking they had a burglar, crept downstairs and opened the backdoor brandishing a baseball bat, only to be confronted by a MASSIVE bear
( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Fri 6 May 2011, 16:07, Reply)

you say that like you don't expect bears to be massive

( Lisette von Falcon, Fri 6 May 2011, 16:10, Reply)

I'm saying he expected a bloke, not a big fuck off bear

( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Fri 6 May 2011, 16:12, Reply)

he was in CANADA
I thought there were more bears than people there?
( Lisette von Falcon, Fri 6 May 2011, 16:13, Reply)

He is from North Shields
Not many bears round there
