Ate at a nice little diner last night. Had a Cubalibre with dinner.

Sounds good, but a martini is made with gin. :D[/QUOTE

Pardon my faux pas. I should have said vodkatini or kangaroo cocktail. You can have all the juniper juice.:p

Not all gin is quite so juniper berry laced as some. Hendricks is one that I like the taste of without the juniper berry. Lousy gin is usually made with too much juniper berry. Gilbey's vodka and gin are both awful for instance. :p

True. You always have to put Vodka in front of Martini to make sure that everyone knows what you mean. :p I think we should make up a separate name for it though. I found that they also call it a kangaroo cocktail so that works.

I'm well aware of all this. Just habit. Just about any establishment you visit around here, from fine dining to dive bar, and order a martini, the first question is usually, which vodka.

Gilbey's vodka, figured you for a Popov man. I've tried gins from Bombay Sapphire to Tanqueray and never found one I enjoyed. Maybe I'll try some Hendrick's next time I want some gin and juice.:D

Gin and Juice?! :faint:
I won't touch Gilbey's. That stuff sucks. I don't even like vodka and I still know that sucks as vodka. lol lol
