Please try this before telling me I'm breaking universal laws for adulterating Guiness - if it's wrong, then I don't want to be right - its sacrilicious.  |
I'll give it a try. Thanks.

The Sapphire can make a difference - it's all subjective and the various tastes of the individual gins are quite distinctive.
My grandfather swears by Tanqueray and tonic in the summer. I prefer Sapphire.

If we're talking good gins, I highly recommend trying Hendrick's. It is not cheap, but it is excellent.
I believe the Wall Street Journal awarded it "Best Gin in the World" at one point.

72 ounces beer (6 pack bottled), 72 ounces water, 6 cups of clear (vodka, gin, etc...). Add country time powdered lemonade to taste, mix well and serve on ice. Great for sitting out on the porch, watching the game, or relaxing at/in the pool. Enjoy...

"summer soda"
Had this at Frank in austin a while back.
1 part vanilla vodka
2 parts grapefruit italian soda
I only tasted this but it was excellent, meanwhile i was drinking a bloody mary made with bacon infused tito's which they called a "red headed stranger" and which was also awesome.

That's such a coincidence. That's what OBL was drinking when they shot him.

Made just like a G&T (with lime), but use Mount Gay Barbados Rum instead.
I have no idea if it would be as good with other rums, I've never tried.
Mount Gay Rum is big in the sailing world.

Mount Gay rum is very good, especially when you're sipping it on the beach in Barbados...

Mt. Gay rum is pretty good on a beach ANYwhere!

This one time at SHOT... an insane former Chopper Jockey had a fruity fizzy umbrella laden cocktail delivered to TS.... and lived.... it was interesting to see TS go apoplectic when it was placed in front of him... there are other witnesses to this event on the board, and this was just at dinner... the rest of the evening just got more epic as time went on... I can't remember if TS swore us all to secrecy about this.

The Sapphire really did make a difference! I have tried Tanqueray and other gins many times, in many different ways, and just could not like the taste.

Recently discovered something that I really like. I'm a sweet tea freak and brew my own tea everyday. Sometimes several pitchers. I also like vodka....
Sweet tea...(brewed to your liking) BTW MUST BE HOMEMADE
Add: Vodka. Mine's usually 1/3 tp 2/3 and ends up 1/2 to 1/2 (after a couple) ...but depends on taste.
Ketel 1 is my preferred Vodka for this....That's why I call 'em Tea Ketels
Never tried to add lemon, but never drink lemon in my tea anyway.

I think you forgot the pink font on that one.
He didn't tell you the rest of the story, as I'm sure this was merely a "pregame warm-up" prior to going out on the town.
Otherwise, it's just not that impressive.
