šŸø The Gin thread

I just knew you were man of class… I highly recommend a proper pink gin, with ā€˜the Botanist’ (made at Bruichladdich (Bruch-lad-dee) distillery on Islay (eye-la) large dash of Angostura and Fever Tree with a fuck load of ice and a slice of blood orange… not only is it sophisticated, but it makes you more sexually alluring

My concern would be whether @lifeintheslowlane’s heart could cope with what this might do to the Lady?

How could you even say such a thing? Nothing, but nothing, could make me more sexually alluring.*

Like you I’m a big fan of the Botanist, but I hadn’t tried it with Angostura in addition to the tonic. Given your own status as a man of great taste and discernment, I shall most certainly give this a try.






* I realise, of course, that this could be interpreted in two distinctly different ways.

I’ve been a fan of Sainsbury’s own-brand Blackfriars gin for some time. It’s a really decent gin at a surprisingly good price, and well worth a try if you haven’t done so. Last weekend I happened to be looking for gin and noticed that they do a lemon variant of the Blackfriars gin; I can now report that this is excellent with either Mediterranean or standard Fever-Tree tonic.

Mrs C_S and YoungAdult#1 are steadily working their way through all of the gins available in our local Sainsbury’s (a tough job!).

Had avoided the own brands until Mrs C_S asked for a sipsmiths lemon gin and there wasn’t one - got the Sainsbury’s one instead and was told it was much better!

Where do you hide the wallet @Fowllyd ? :wink:

Somewhere you’ll never find it. Obviously.

Ahhh but we’re old hands at this ā€œallureā€ thing. I rarely have to resort to the Fireman’s outfit and trusty hose. I suppose being naturally endowed with a six pack physique and all the necessary attachments has made life one loooong sensual experience for both of us. :yum:

He ā€œleavesā€ it in the pub!! or was that @SO5-4BW?

So that was a stolen wallet he go out in the pub in Borough Market pre the Palace game?

How naive of me to think he was being generous :roll_eyes:

Was I there?

Can’t remember him buying me a beer…
