Welcome to my perfumed garden

I love gin and cranberry. Although right now, it's cranberry/cherry juice I'm using. I also love maraschino cherries and J. always spoils me by putting three in. Heh heh.

I'll use any "clear" mix that's sweet with gin. Tonic water, cranberry juice, raspberry punch, limeade is VERY tasty with it in summer, as is lemonade (and by this I do NOT mean a soft drink/pop/soda-type beverage, but REAL ade made with the juices of the fruits, or frozen versions thereof), Seven-Up if it's all they have and even orange juice if the "clearer" juices aren't available.

Always LOTS of ice and big slices of lemon or lime depending on my mood. =>}

I am a bit of a gin slut. I'll buy the cheapest going, since I always mix it. It might be Beefeaters or Gordon's but right now J. got me a bottle of Bombay Sapphire for Xmas. I love the blue bottle. *g*

Tanqueray is fine if available. Here, Gordon's is the cheapest and Bombay Sapphire the most expensive available, but only by about $6 difference. I've just seen that Melcher's is a bit cheaper than Gordon's.

Gins available at the SAQ (Sociétés d'Alcools de Québec).

J. prefers that HORRIBLE crap stuff, Geneva Gin that they drink in Belgium. UGH! ; >}
