Gin thread, poverty edition. Favorite gins under $30? I tried New Amsterdam and it was pretty shit in comparison to beefeater and barely cheaper.

Nigga the only new Amsterdam shit worth drinking is the vodka, and only because its 20 a handle, which is perfect for party's or get together's, because fuck giving people tasty alcohol at a party, just give them whats drinkable.

Old Raj Blue is also fucking good. The best gin for Gin & Tonic

Tanqueray No. 10 is probably the best standard London Dry.
Standard Tanqueray is also pretty good.

Why am I the only one I know who doesn't mind Gin & Tonic?

It doesn't even taste like anything and by the time you're in your 4th one you're too drunk to care.

Gordon's honestly isn't too bad, and $12 a handle where I live.

Yes, it is. I can't think of any gin that tastes worse, apart from the bottom-shelf no-name brands. It's the Bacardi of gins.

Negroni is a god-tier cocktail.

The ingredients sound delicious but usually prefer my cocktails on the weaker side, the taste of hard liquors alone always seems overpoweringly alcoholic to me.

by weaker, do you mean sweeter, or with less alcohol?

a negroni has 2 to 3 oz of alcohol in it depending on which bar makes it. standard i was taught was 1oz gin, .5 campari, .5 dry vermouth. most drinks contain 1.5-3oz on liquor in them so you're not getting "more" from a negroni.

I suppose that was a little vaguely worded. I don't mind having lots of drinks, but I'm pretty sensitive to the taste of alcohol. Usually when I make myself drinks I'm watering down the liquor a bit, with 1:3 hard liquor to non alcoholic mixer or so (I make a bastardized Tom Collins that's 1 part gin, 2 parts lemonade, and 1 part sparkling water). By contrast, hard liquor with no non-alcoholic mixers wouldn't be something I enjoy as much.

Best recipe is a simple 1 part gin, 1 part sweet vermouth and 1 part Campari (although I sometimes adjust the Campari down a little bit, depending on the vermouth).

around $40 but in my opinion, totally worth it. Easily the best sipping gin on the rocks
