I like Dry Gin Martinis, with this specific recipe. 2 parts Dry Gin & 1 part Dry Vermouth, put in a mixer with ice, sift into a Martini Glass with lemon Garnish (Not olives, the original martini uses a lemon slice)

Bombay Sapphire and Sprite is my favorite mixed drink evar.
It's so delicious.
With a touch of Rose's Lime if you have it lying around.

Pickletini with spicy dill pickle juice. Throw in a pickled chili and you're set.

Yeah I've been making them with this super spicy pickle brine that's home-made. Fabulous. The spicier the better. Now that I think about it, spicy and salty drinks are quite rare, exotic compared to shitty fruit-flavored ones.

Olive Brine > Pickle Brine
Dirty Martini, FTW.

I've never had Gin and Sprite with OJ before.
I could see that being good.
I live in the hood and Gin and Juice is still super popular here.
The drink, not the song.

a lot of people dislike it.
personally i dont understands the appeal of vodka, it seems like unfinished gin
i feel more sophisticated drinking gin
even if its el cheapo stuff. its really the same as vodka with the juniper berries and stuff added. they even have flavored gins thats are good.
i dont consider vodka martinis "martinis" i think we should call them vodkatini's since thats faster to say anyway.
i think a greyhound should be with gin and hate having to ask for it. at least though its not someone asking if i want gin or vodka in a martini, which i give a dirty look and say "gin of course, thats what a martini is"
i imagine most things could substitute the vodka with gin. except maybe a bloody mary which should just be tequila

Bee's Knees!
2 oz gin 3/4 oz honey syrup 1/2 oz fresh lemon juice
Honey syrup is just 1 part honey, 1 part water. Especially sick with a classic floral gin like aviation.
That's a pre-prohibition cocktail, too
