If I don’t have a good pizza to discuss, there’s no reason why a good drink can’t suffice.

I took this picture a few years back during an exclusively-gin phase I went through…I’ve since moved on to darker spirits but gin still has a warm spot in my heart. Nolet’s is a tad fruity & floral on the palate, not as true-to-form heavy-on-the-juniper “ginny” as the standby London dry (Boodles, Tanqueray, Beefeater, Old Raj), more fruity & floral than Plymouth & Hendrick’s, but the bottle made for a good picture.

A good rule of thumb for G&T: go easy on the tonic…all the corn syrup in Schweppes and Canada Dry will overpower the Gin…go easy on it–just a splash or two–or get some genuinely good tonic (Q or Fever Tree). And the lime is a garnish…you’re not drinking a margarita.

Cheers.
