Bombay Sapphire Gin

Cons: More expensive than most gins

The calendar says it's summer. The rising column of mercury in the thermometer backs it up. The boss says, "Go home and enjoy the weekend." And I say nothing says "summer time pool party cheer" quite like a tall, cold Gin and Tonic. Gin is a ...

Pros: Yum!
Cons: none

I normally mix gin to make it drinkable. My great passion is a very dry martini. To this end, I recently received a martini spritzer that sprays the perfect amount of vermouth into a glass. I also love gin and tonic with a twist of lime. Bombay Sapphire,...

Pros: Bombay is Bliss.
Cons: None

The Journal Entry

Last night(May 29), three young ladies from Wake Forest arrived out the house. Feeling particularly gregarious(no that's not a dirty word!) I decided to take them out for a drink and to introduce them to some of the...

Pros: exquisite complexity
Cons: costs more... otherwise no complaints here

A couple of years ago I was invited to my friend Bernie’s house for a birthday party/get together for another mutual friend. I arrived with a large group to find the guest of honor already in the apartment with one other guy and our host, each sipping...

Pros: Crisp, clean taste with a strong but pleasant finish
Cons: More pricey than most similar spirits

Ok, so my title needs a little work. At least Bombay Sapphire is smoother than my writing skills. Gin, a staple in every bar, from the most heavily traveled taverns to the home liquor cabinet, and yet something that so few people appreciate. ...

Pros: Nice bottle
Cons: disgusting flavor..

Introduction Call me the king of samples, or maybe.... just maybe... call my liquor store the king of samples... because they carry a lot of samples, making it easier for the budding alcoholic consumer, like myself, to find a drink I like, so ...

Cons: A little expensive, makes a slightly different G&T.

When it comes to gin, there is Bombay Sapphire, and then everything else. That is not say there are not other good gins about, I am especially partial to Gordon's, and sometimes a bottle of Bellringer finds its way in to my bar, but Sapphire is truly a ...

Pros: light, pleasant taste, comes in a nice blue bottle :)
Cons: it's gin, too bad they couldn't make the gin the same color as the bottle... that would be great

Back when I first started drinking liquor, I asked my friends to suggest a drink that didn't really taste alcoholic. Up until then the only liquor drinks that I enjoyed were Strawberry Daquiris and Midori Sours. I was definitely a "girl...

I am sitting here with my dear friend Kurt Messick enjoying a quintessential English favorite, a Gin and Tonic. Tonic helps bring out the flavor of the gin more than anything else and besides a little Vermouth for making a Martini, I would not suggest...

Pros: The best Gin & Tonic begins here
Cons: leaves tongue a little puffy.

Predisposition has always been in my case a easy thing to ignore when it comes to tasting spirits. Very requently, I find that an overwhelming enthusiasm over a certain brand or drink is caused only by a trend or fashion, and not necessarily supported...
