So my New Year’s resolution was to post again and you are all talking about gimlets! I love a gimlet, and I actually loved Rose’s Lime! That is how I taught many an open bartender how to make a gimlet, because they never knew what I wanted when I ordered it. They often gave me a ginourmous glass full, rather than a cocktail. Now I don’t know what to do when avoiding sugar because even tonic water has metric tons! Gin plus club soda plus a squeeze of lime?
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Hi, Sophia!
I dislike gin, so I have nothing to offer here.

Obviously I'm not just tossing tonic in 'em. Any suggestions are welcome.
If you have more of a floral-forward gin, like Hendricks, a gin fizz is nice.

I was making my own lime cordial for a while there because of all the gimlet discussion here back when. Gin spritz, Sophia? Ooh, you could try that True Lime stuff - it’s so good in Diet Coke, might be good with gin

Now, where can I get True Lime that isn’t Amazon? Because I suddenly feel like I should be sprinkling some on or in everything I consume

And the answer appears to be…Staples? Really? Huh.
