Thinking about gin

[m_cobweb]

Traditionally, I don't drink it. I'm not sure why I never developed the taste, except maybe that I don't tend to drink what my parents drink. I like bitter drinks, I like clear alcohol, I like the juniper idea. And I'd like to try it again. But it occurs to me I may have to be already-drunk to do it. Maybe I should arrange a drink exchange--if I don't like mine, I can trade it for someone's vodka.

For that matter, what can one mix with gin besides tonic? Although I approve of the cool glowy effect, I don't really imagine it would help me appreciate the gin.
