I have some left over gin (inside its bottle of course) from 2-3 months ago... is it ok to drink it?!


Question: No, I am sorry that bottle is no longer good.

I will send along my address and you may ship it to me for proper disposal.

BTW, could you throw a lime and some tonic in the package too. Thanks

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

  • yes

    completely safe unless anyone has mixed in something else into it, even water. If it is just gin as it was sold in the first place, the high alcohol content means it cannot spoil.

    if capped,its still good to drink

    Yes, as long as the bottle has been sealed up tight and there has been no foreign substances added it will be fine. Liquor once opened can last years as long as it hasn't been contaminated.

    yeah, it's still good. the alcohol in drinking liquors can be oxidized from the original ethanol to acetic acid but this reaction is very slow under normal storage conditions, It occurs more quickly (even though still slow) in wines, that's why skanky wines taste vinegary. Especially if you keep the lid on the container to keep atmospheric oxygen away from the booze.

    yep

    Of course

    It could be 10 years old or more and it's completely safe to drink, Liquor does not go bad....
