[Drinking] Gin sales ?

[Herr Tubthumper]

I discovered this drink a couple of years ago. Got very messy very quickly. Haven't touched it since.

Ha ha. I’ve never really got on with cocktails and can’t say they’re a “go-to” for me; I’d always ask for a glass of fizz if I found myself in a cocktail environment. But, I was somewhere and for whatever reason had a gin martini and that was that. I like the “stiffness’ of them; you know you’re drinking alcohol when you have a martini; this can’t be said for some cocktails.

Been around but only became more mainstream 10 years ago perhaps?

Seems your main point regarding Bombay Sapphire is right.

“Without gross exaggeration, Bombay Sapphire can be hailed as having played a major role in leading the entire Gin category into a new era, attracting a whole new audience to the spirit.”

Have you tried the filthy variety?

No. It sounds appealing though, that’s the version where they sling in some of the brine from the olives?

Yes, I think it is HT.
I reckon the title probably sounds more appetising than the brine!

When last in Edinburgh there was a mob selling specialist ice. I think it was frozen from one end (top or bottom I don't remember) to produce some effect. Here it is.

They were also selling bridges.

That's a dirty. The filthy has blue cheese (usually in the olives) and bacon too.

With tonic they all taste the same to me. Perhaps I'm just a peasant

After the fourth double, I can’t tell the difference
