TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

I must try this Hendricks. 

Bombay Saphire is a must though.  I wouldn't call that snobbery, I'd call that knowing the differnece between Gin and alchoholic pine needle juice.

It's seriously the most refreshing gin you'll ever have on a hot day. I should probably pick up a bottle and put it in the freezer along with a summer's supply of quinine...I really need to buy an AC unit soon.

Does it have that horrible bitter aftertaste I associate with gin?

It DOES still have juniper, so if you associate that with the horrid aftertaste, then probably yes. But GOOD gins don't typically have a nasty piney aftertaste anyway.

Well Mrs. Hawk likes gin and tonic so I may get some and try it. Thanks.

NP! It's really awesome. Serve it with a slice of cucumber instead of citrus.

I've heard there's something called genever that's like gin but even more awesome.  I need to find some and drink it all.

Hawk,
is a secret wine ho.

We have several wineries around this area and we seem to buy a case when we visit one.

in the Netherlands, "jenever" is sort of the same stuff, except it doesn't have juniper berries. and is made of grain (wheat?). actually it probably just shares the language root.

it's pretty good mixed with bitter lemon. just another white clear liquor for the arsenal.

QuoteWhen jenever is drunk with lager beer as a chaser, it is referred to as a kopstoot (headbutt).

this is true. jenever is generally consumed by elderly men of the somewhat alcoholic persuasion in small brown local bars. as a kopstoot or just single.

it's pronounced cop stoat, btw.

Ah, the incredibly wet martini.  I've found that I really enjoy something my local bartender calls a "Hearst", due to a legend that it was what William Randolph Hearst used to drink.

It's equal amounts Gin and Sweet (Red) vermouth, with a dash of angostura bitters, and a dash of orange bitters. 

It's really quite good.  The bitters add a nice touch.

Ooh, I need to try that one.  I've been trying to expand my martini palette.  Or, palate, rather.  :lol:

I love me a martini.  I haven't found a place that really puts care into it though.  And fuck vodka in a martini.

Also Beefeater or GTFO.  :lulz:
