Ice cold Bombay Sapphire really makes it though. You should try it.
I had a friend who used to love Beefeater on the rocks. Not long after I met him I offered him Tanqueray, he said that won't do and brought me a bottle of Beefeaters.  We enjoyed many get togethers since then, and he passed away a few months ago at 92. So I buy Beefeaters.
Great story and a good enough reason to drink Beefeaters.   Glad he did not smoke victor Sinclair's with you though.
He was a character.  WWII vet, Navy in the Pacific, shared some stuff with me that was tough for him to say.  But enough of that, back to the drink recipes.

Sorry guys, didn't mean to harsh the buzz.  All this gin talk and I'm drinking a Diet DP with rum.

All well and good with this gin talk, but it's still more of a summer drink for me.  Let me know when we get into scotches...

Not much of a scotch drinker.  I'm a simple man with simple tastes.  A simpleton, if you will (per the warden)

Simple man myself  I drink single malt scotch and Fighting Cock Whiskey straight up no ice no mixer, very simple.  Vodka Martini's with a touch of olive juice, also very simple.

If Tanquerey will kill me sooner, I'll go that route.

Nah, I was off searching for ingredients.  I'm gonna do: gin, vodka, and some olive brine.  Just found the cocktail shaker.
