>fuck you phone for sideways pic.

Gordons gin with fevertree elderflower tonic water is the best combination I've come across

Gin might possibly be the worst form of ethanol consumption conceived by humanity.

Enjoy your inferior beverage mom.

Very nice. I really aught to pick up some nicer tonic. I have a couple bottles of this laying around and I bet eider flower liquer would go very well.

I bought a big ole thing of Hendricks and hated it. Fell for the gin meme after having a few bombay saphire and tonics while flying reeeeeeeeeeee wtf and i supposed to do with this

>>10565602
I'm in my thirties and I hate gin, so I don't think it's a "younger crowd" thing. Unless it's in a Long Island, in which case you can't taste it, or if it's in a gin and tonic. I hate both gin and tonic water, but for some the reason the combination of both is magical.

I will betray my race for her

is there a tonic available in the US that isn't loaded with sugar? or should I just use club soda?

>>10566072
They make diet tonic

>>10566072
diet tonic exists.

al/ck/ says ur all a bunch of pussies

I just want something less sweet, not something with all the sugar replaced with aspartame.

>>10566102
Sucralose exists, and so does Erythritol and other sugar alcohols.

Try a Tom Collins (Gin, club soda, lemon juice, simple syrup). Sweeter gin drinks are easier to get into than a martini.

>>still missing the point

i can't drink gin any more because of a bad experience i had at a family member's wedding a few years back. i used to really like it paired with rosemary or rhubarb.

>>10566173
I am ignoring that point and responding to a different point, my negro acquaintance.

>>10566173
Have you ever actually tasted tonic with quinine without any sweetener? It's god awful. The gin and tonic was invented by British soldiers to literally make the quinine tonic palatable

>>10566194
Sorry to hear about that anon. Too bad cuz I had a drink with thyme you might have liked called a winter sun. (Gin, aperol, blood orange juice, splash of soda water, thyme syrup if you want to. Thyme sprig garnish.)

>>10566072
Fever Tree might be.

>>10566203
The dude said he wanted LESS sugar, not "no sugar".

Modern brands of tonic are far sweeter than those in the days of the raj anyway.

>>10566203
I hope for your sake that you are only pretending to be retarded, even then that's the lowest form of trolling.

>>10566102
Probably the most common brand of tonic with less sugar (without going artificial) is Fever-Tree Naturally Light.

The only way to drink gin.

>>10565780
I want to pick some of that up to give it a try so many but they don't carry it anywhere near me, REEEEEEEEE!

One of the nicer restaurants near me had a special cocktail using it for a little while which is what got me curious but now I can't buy any because VA's retarded ABC laws make it impossible to get anything new unless they just happen to decide to stock it one day.

i didn't know that apes could swim

I'm twenty and gin was my spirit of choice for getting hammered.

I'm a degenerate, so I'd usually mix it with cranberry juice. But I was predominantly using it as an affordable way of getting crunk desu

Do Americans Really Serve Their Alcohol Out Of Toxic Buckets, Using Turkey Basters?

>>10568646
yes.
This is a relatively new trend, but it's putting a LOT of bars out of business. especially in places like Miami, NYC, San Francisco, Seattle etc
it's really taken off
