I have to admit, I'm a Rum/Whiskey kind of guy.
I finally tasted some Gin on my birthday.
OMFG how do people drink that stuff, it's nasty as crap. and I didn't drink the cheap rail Gin either, it was a Dry Tanqueray Martini on the rocks.
ugh.
for now, I'll stick with Rum, Whiskey, and Vodka(but not Grey Goose, grey goose sucks).
speaking of whiskey...I've tried Bourbon, and Canadian whiskey(Crown Royal = THE BOMB), but I've yet to try Scotch or Irish Whiskey. i'll get to it one of these days.
made a Manhattan that was awesome, same night i tried the Gin Martini.
Crown Royal, Amaretto, Sweet Vermouth shaken(my bar doesn't carry bar spoons, WTF) over ice and strained, Dry Vermouth swirled around the Cocktail glass. garnished with a cherry. I loved it.
