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.

I *hate* *loathe* *despise* *react violently to* gin.

But, the people that I know who have enjoyed it tended to have it in things like martinis, with 7-up, and in orange juice.

You could do go to webtender.com and look up drinks w/ gin til you found one that sounded tasty?

Heh. I might just go do that right now.

Ohhh yeah. *That* is a website! And I think I found one--gin, blue curacao, midori (like a Neon Freeze but with gin). How could I not like that? (fingers crossed)

Thanks, Grace!
