Is a gin and tonic a manly drink? How about a gin and tonic with lime?!
Answers: yes they are.
I'd say that a Gin & Tonic with or without a lime is a unisex drink. Whiskey straight or on the rocks is a man's drink.
Circa late 19th century Britain, Gin was a prostitute's drink of choice.
I WORKED IN A BAR FOR YEARS. THE ONLY TIME THE MEN ORDERED IT WAS IN THE SUMMER (CONSTRUCTION GUYS) THEY WANTED IT TALL AND HAD 4 OR 5 REAL QUICK. IF YOUR SECURE IN YOUR SKIN, ORDER WHAT PLEASES YOU AND ONLY YOU. YOU DON,T TELL THE GUYS WHAT YOU THINK THEY SHOULD DRINK DO YOU?
Who cares,it taste so doggone good!! drink it, Tanqurey all the way.
Gin: made from poisonous berries
Tonic: has quinine which is also poisonous to the human body
Have fun!
Yes, it is rather sophisticated as well.
Just so you know. Any drink served with tonis is supposed to be served with Lime.
It used to cover the taste of the Quinine.
