GOOD FRIEND (I hope hot too)
When it comes to gin, I don't like the fancy Tanq's and Bombay's. The cheaper the better. A Gordon's & tonic does me just fine.
There was this grimy sports bar in the East Village where BODYBAG and I wandered into while getting lost. We enjoyed a huge amount of G&T, and when we asked the bartender why they were so good, he shrugged and looked at the gin bottle, and it was some cheap bathtub brand that may not even be cleared to sell in the U.S., lol.
Tanq & Bombay/Sapphire overpower the drink for me. Gordon's and other cheap gins seem to blend with the tonic & lime better for me. AND I GET JUST AS SCHNOCKERED BONC.
