not just Bombay, good as it is, but Bombay Sapphire... it's their premium gin all i can say is goto your liquor store and buy the smallest bottle you can find and give it a try
chilled straight or on a couple cubes is as good as it gets 8^)

I get a huge kick out of Portlandia. There are piles of episodes that are truly hilarious. I’m pretty sure the creators are big libs but the series is so good I forgive them.
All I expect is a properly made gin and tonic or a Perfect Manhattan. Everything else is just fluff.
Scotch with one ice cube.

If you’re a Sapphire man and you haven’t done so, may I suggest you have a taste of Hendricks - infused with cucumber and rose, it’s refreshing and unique. Sapphire with light tonic and lime is my standard order, but when I want to treat myself, I’ll get a Hendricks rocks with a slice of cucumber. Delicious.
Look up the “militant lesbian bookstore” episode. They may be libs but they roast up some really tasty sacred cow burgers. They spared no one in that episode.

There are eight or ten feminist bookstore episodes and they’re all spot on and very funny.
Not just the Bombay Dry (which is good - some think better), but the Sapphire. It has a more delicate flavor and aroma. I used to enjoy Tanqueray, but when compared to Sapphire, it reminds me of lighter fluid.
never seen Hendricks before, i'll keep it in mind next time i'm on vacation
That looks good. I had several Pimm’s cups watching the game, but looking at that I think I’ll whip up a nice G&T.
100%
Definitely top shelf, but oh so tasty.

Pareto’s Law at work, even here..
Exactly
“I want to get a good tap beer before my connecting flight.”
I went into a local tavern with my wife for a beer. I got a pint of Yeungling’s and the tab was $5. I mentioned to my wife that that was airport price, not tavern price. She travels quite a bit more often than I do. She looked at me and said, “You really haven’t been in an airport for a while, have you?”
I actually hadn’t been in a tavern in a long time, either.
Yeahz, the $$$$ is outrageous.
Hipster snob type unexpectedly finds himself in a working class neighborhood on a Friday afternoon at cocktail hour. The place is packed with guys who just finished their shifts and got paid. He elbows his way to the bar and orders an 18 year old scotch.
Bartender, who is overwhelmed and doesn’t want to unlock the high-price cabinet, goes down the end of the bar and pours a shot of 8 year old scotch, gives it to the hipster snob.
Hipster snob says “Bartender, this is not an 18 year old scotch, this is an 8 year old scotch.
Bartender says “You got me. I’ll get you the 18 year old scotch in a minute.
Bartender goes down the end of the bar, still has no time to open the cabinet, pours the hipster snob a 12 year old scotch, gives it to him.
Hipster snob says “Bartender, I don’t know what kind of clientele you’re used to, but this is not an 18 year old scotch. This is a twelve year old scotch. The bartender, giving up, says OK, OK, I’ll get you the 18 year old scotch.
Bartender unlocks the cabinet, pours the 18 year old scotch, gives it to the scotch snob, scotch snob sips it, and says “Finally. This is an 18 year old scotch.”
Meanwhile, a guy standing next to the scotch snob says to him “Wow. When he gave you the eight year old scotch, you knew it was an eight year old scotch. When he gave you the 12-year old scotch, you knew it was a 12 year old scotch. And when he finally gave you the 18 year old scotch, you pegged it as an 18 year old scotch. A guy with your discernment and refinement should try some of this.
The guy hands the scotch snob a shot glass filled with amber liquid. The scotch snob takes a sip, and spits it out. “Why, that ‘s pi$$!” says the scotch snob.
That’s right” says the guy. “How old am I?”,
“These hipster ‘mixologists are a frikkin’ joke.”
Great line on Marc Maron show when Sally Kellerman (playing Marc’s mother) tells Marc about a guy she met on a cruise: “He said was a mixologist but he looked like a bartender to me.”
