I'm not a fan of vermouth.  I drink martinis desert-dry.

Yeah, I never understood the addition of vermouth.  Tonic water works for me, or nothing at all.

Wife likes Manhattans. I usually have some sweeter vermouth around.

Since it's hot and I'm not on a boat where I should be, I made gullywash this weekend. I make it with Beefeater gin (the only gin I really use - otherwise what's the point?), at just about a 50/50 mix.

Now, if I could find conch meat in Waco...

My fav is Tangueray Ten, but I make do with the regular stuff usually.

I find the Ten evaporates when I get it home.

I actually really don't care  for gin. If I'm using it, it's because I've got to have the juniper hit. London gin is very "juniper forward".

My fav mixed drink is a simple G&T with lime.  I don't find the expensive tonic water to be worth it, but I think my taste buds are not very discerning.

The Ten has a heavy botanical influence that I like neat and cold.

I find I enjoy just about any craft beer that is not flavored.  The flavored stuff loses me, but I like flavored vodka.
  

Ha.

I tried the major gins one after the other, never tried Roku, will do it.

I ran through many of the bourbons, still settled on Woodford.  The vodka thing I did switch to Tito's though I keep some Grey Goose around if the wife decides she wants some.  She is prejudiced.

She's French.  Ketel One isn't.

I don't have the best taste buds in the world, but I once did a blind taste of cold vodkas neat and GG was my favorite, KOne was last in the group.

Chopin was second.  Of course I was drunk by the time I finished the 17th vodka.

Yup, for the money, Tito's is the best IMHO.  I am very happy with it especially with TW or whatever.

I bought a bottle of Hennessey XO Cognac in France (not that it's any different there) and that's a bit of a special occasion after dinner item.

That is probably the smoothest distilled item I've ever had, can't think of anything close.
