Now, I'm certainly no brain surgeon (or rocket scientist if you prefer), but I do believe that at least in the distillation process with GIN (notice that I capitalize it now?) there are also juniper berries added. So, in drinking GIN daily, I also strive to reach my daily intake of my fruit requirement. Now, can you say that about vodka? Hmmm, didn't think so. And look at the country that's famous for vodka. It's cold. And dark. And gloomy. Just because you prefer women with an accent (I've got a country, twangy accent, BTW. Interested?), doesn't mean that you have to drink that wretched liquor. I suppose, on rare occasions, I can handle vodka (and you just can't imagine how I say vodka. If only you could see the squisssshhhhyyyy look on my face when I type it. I don't even bother to move my lips when I say the blasted word. It's through clenched teeth.) if you add tripe sec, lime juice, cranberry juice and put it in a cocktail glass. But, I think it would be better with GIN! Would it still be a cosmopolitan then? Hmmmm, I wonder. So, know any other good GIN drinks, other than the OLD, very old gin and tonic? I always drink GIN and tonic on flights. ALWAYS. (Last time though, they gave me some brand that I think was made in Idaho. Talk about a belly ache. I was upset, but I still am in love with GIN. He's still my favorite man.) (Oh, and I do have a very good Bloody Mary recipe as well. Is Jai ever coming over? My shaker is getting lonely) Waiting for those GIN recipes....
