Herbaceous is what I avoid like the Black Death in, for instance, white wine. Like grassy Sauvignon Blancs. My palate is not a fan of the herbaceous ouevre.

See, I LOVE grassy sauvignon blancs, and dislike the fruity ones...but I hate juniper. So gin is not my friend. :)

But I like vodka with olive juice in it. I see it as no different than any other mixed drink. Barely even a drink my ass.

I stand with you, my vodka-and-olive-juice-drinking friend!

You're taking the carefully crafted botanicals of the gin and pouring the equivalent of ketchup all over it.

Mmmm. Ketchup.

So gin is not my friend.

Some gins are not as heavy on the juniper.

Barely even a drink my ass.

Well, you can drink it but it's a pretty blunt instrument.

I mean, you can drink the juice from the maraschino cherry jar but I wouldn't recommend it.

I like megan walker's Pink Punch.

I used to make a drink called a Pink Dammit with maraschino cherry juice.

I like megan walker's Pink Punch.

I do too. When she adds a punchy rum!

Gin tastes like lighter fluid to me.

I'm a bourbon girl, like Teppy.

Look: everybody's got their snobbery, whether it's coffee, bammy, knitting wool or Scotch.

I'm just sayin': gin is a carefully balanced and created liquor. You can put crap on it but it's ruinous.

You can put ketchup on your steak but you're mostly going to taste the ketchup. So why bother taking the complex thing and making it crude?

'Cause you think its yum.

Why have 9,457 kinds of gin? Same reason.

'Cause you think its yum.

I'm going to argue and say, Diet Coke and Jack? That's fine. But don't pour your Diet Coke into Lagavulin.
