Glad you enjoyed it!

People do sip gin straight, though in my experience they usually drink it on the rocks rather than neat. And by “in my experience” I mean “my father drinks Tanqueray on the rocks with cocktail olives”. So far as I’m aware, gin on the rocks is a more common order on the other side of the Atlantic, but I think gin is darn tasty on its own.

I tried the original recipe above last night (but with Beefeater gin, as that’s all I have) and it was very good. I’m new to gin, and was wondering if people sip it neat like they would whiskey, tequila, brandy, rum, etc., or if the spirit is really only used in cocktails.

The reason I added the carbonated water was to mimic the mojito. I’ll give the original version a whirl once I acquire more mint.

Glad you liked it! Definitely try it without the water—it’s a perfectly balanced and truly delicious drink just as Jeff made it.

I tried this cocktail for the first time a few days ago as my introduction to gin. I threw in a little carbonated water, but plan to try it without very soon. Great drink.

Been awhile since I’ve had the time to troll my favorite blogs and gotta say I love the look of what you’ve got going. And yeah, I just whipped up a few Richmond Gimlets at my bar this weekend and it’s definitely a crowd pleaser. Geez, everyone’s getting beautiful sites done and I still got my crappy one with the template. I need a re-design….

Thanks, Jimmy! I figured I should work a little harder on the photos since I worked so long on the redesign. :)

Hopefully it’ll make its way further than just this coast. I’m picturing total world domination.

You are a doll! Thanks for trying my drink, I’ve always experienced positive reactions from it at work. I’m glad it could make its way down the coast!
