GinFuture

So,

We did World Gin Day.  Some of us enjoyed a lot of Gin.  But then I realised…what is the ‘best’ Gin.

Therefore, we will be having a GinOff.

Contenders:

  • Hendricks
  • Tanqueray 10
  • Tanqueray
  • Gordons
  • Bombay Saphire
  • Plymouth
  • Beefeater
No doubt others will be in the mix, are we missing a top contender?  Email me, neil@rasga.co.uk, or comment at http://facebook.com/GinDay

hman: This is probably dumb and gimmicky (I’d miss the clink clink clink of ice and sticky fingers from squeezing the lime), but I liked the photo: “Sam Bompas and Harry Parr are Bompas & Parr, based in London.  One of their latest projects is “Alcoholic Architecture.”  Participants walked into a thick fog of gin and tonic.  Sam and Harry worked with doctors and engineers to measure the exact amount of cocktail that would be absorbed.  Viewers left the exhibit feeling as though they drank an actual gin and tonic.” Although, come to think of it, I’ve been in plenty of gin fogs.

If I was a sensible gentleman, I’d have both gin and tonic water in the house at all times.
