Beefeater Gin. . . chilled martini glass, swish the vermouth in the glass and throw the vermouth away, shake the gin on ice. Pour in chilled glass with medium olives preferrably stuffed with bleu cheese. (the big olives are to woody)
 
Beefeater at home. Never tried bleu cheese olives. Sounds good. Tanq on the boat.
 
I am a gin person.

Tanqueray or Bombay Sapphire, only 2 I drink!
All other Gin's are bad for you!
 
Never liked Tanq, used to be big Beefeater fan, until I found Bombay sapphire!

I like my martinis EXTRA dry, straight up, with olives stuffed with jalepenos.
 
Mainly a beer drinker, but when I go mixed, you can't beat a Gin and Tonic - Tanqueray

Beware of Bleu Cheese stuffed olives in a jar ! They are usually packed in Olive Oil which is fine for a salad, really sucks in a Martini. Only way I know of is labor intensive, poke the pimento out of an olive, then re stuff with B C.
 
T & T only thing I drink I've tried Bombay but Tanq is like being home. In fact sounds so good I think I've have one now.

Two seasons ago I helped Victoria Secret bring his new boat home from NC took the better part of a week and every night I tried to find a place to buy a bottle but never found one. I did have a few drinks along the way at dinner but it's just not the same. Bill always has a bottle on board for me since even though his doesn't drink the stuff. Thanks Bill ask Vicky if she can come over and make a drink she is one of a few that knows how to make them the way I like them.
 
To me Gin has always tasted like trying to drink a pine tree. Just never acquired a taste for it.

Gin & Tonic - Tanqueray

Martini - Hendrick's
Salmon, jalapeno and/or blue cheese stuffed olives on the side. Better yet olive oil cured cherry peppers stuffed with cheese and prosciutto.
 
Gin???

Go to HD and buy a gallon of turpentine. A forth the price and tastes the same.
 
Bombay Saphire martini, shaken not stirred with an olive or 2.

Otherwise I do not drink gin!
 
Bombay Sapphire (I know we don't complain about spelling, but it's Sapphire with two "Ps" goddamit and we're talking martinis, here!!) I used to keep a bottle in the freezer and make them very dry. What I've discovered is that I like them quite a bit wetter. So, now the first thing I do is put the ice and gin in the shaker with vermouth and then go about putting together the olives and chilling the glasses. By the time that's all done, the gin is just about right.

I love bleu cheese, but my Sicilian neighbor cures his own olives and always brings me some so we use those.
 
Tanqueray with the tonic, but Bombay Saphire in the Martini. That's the life.
A friend of mine recently told me that I have to try Hendrick's Gin. So it's on my to do list.
I never really acquired a taste for beer.
 
Boodles British Gin for gin and tonic Hendrick's is made in Scotland..and not bad. Blue Sapphire for martinis
 
Hendricks with muddled cucumber, simple sugar, a bit of soda and some lemon juice...mmmmmmmmmm..........
