I think you are missing the point here. 80 proof Vodka and Gin and Whiskey and Rum and Tequila all basically have the exact same number of calories (69 per ounce), the calories are in the alcohol itself. Changing liquor isn’t going to do anything to help you change your caloric intake unless that precipitates a change in the mixer.

hmmm. will have to clarify this with someone who told me that there was a difference due to the ingredients distilled to make each. I just believed him because he’s a personal trainer. :smack: I don’t even drink that much (2 drinks/week average), but every bit helps I guess!

quite a shame to dilute some of the wonderful craft gins on the market these days

I have nothing worthwhile to add except: if you’re on Vancouver Island… try this. (Sorry about the Flash on their website; click “spirits”.)

Oh, my, my. $49 Canadian a bottle, and I bought a bottle–real fast. I slid through the people in the tasting room like a shark scenting blood, to grab the last bottle on the shelf, because this stuff is good.

Gin drinker here.
I was a Bombay Sapphire drinker then I discovered Rangpur. I love Rangpur. For an everyday gin, it is the gin of the Gods.
Comparing the price to Hendricks or Anchor Steam, it is worth it. While I won’t argue that they are better gins, they are way more expensive.

Linky no worky - and I’m close enough to BC that I really really want to know what was that good! :wink:

IMHO, Rangpur tastes like it’s gin with ‘Lime flavored product’ in it. I’ve had it, I won’t go out of my way to get it again.

I lurve (in order):
Hendricks
Citadelle
New Amsterdam(*)

And will easily drink Sapphire if it’s the best thing available. Good thing about New Amsterdam is: it’s relatively inexpensive!

If I have tonic (and I frequently do), I’ll have a G&T, otherwise, it’s a martini, stirred, drunken olives, a little brine for me.

I agree on the martini glass…definately a stationary drink. You don’t drink martini’s to mingle.

Of course I use a fancy glass. What am I, an animal in the jungle?
