Gunpowder

[Vagus]

G&T being imbibed here before our evening meal, literally blows your socks off, tastes nice too.
Anyone having anything interesting for a drinky before dinner this evening?
We did try gin and dubonnet a few years ago, as per The Queen, but didn’t like it at all.

[Etch]

Wrong time of year for G&T - it's a summer drink for me. Wintertime it's Sainsbury's Taste the Difference mulled wine - single glassful, 1 minute in the microwave, add a slice of orange - deelish

David, I literally couldn’t care what you think, dear. Enjoy your lemsip.
Brewdog Gunpowder gin is 57% proof, powerful stuff that it is, not only did it blow my socks off, it blew the roof off our house and half the close...
Ummm, I really dislike milkshakes, yuk and shudder ;)

// ... literally blows your socks off //

Now that I'd like to see.

Etch, I agree and haven’t had a G&T for ages but this one..err, two..really hit the spot, literally.

[Vagus]

Ha ha China, I only wear socks outdoors even in this weather, if I had any on they would certainly be blown off by now, literally ;)

[ummmm]

I love them. Vagus. Mainly strawberry. I put strawberries, strawberry powder, milk, vanilla ice cream.....whiz it up....and drink it like I'm 5 years old.

My other favourite drinks are Coke with loads of ice and UHT milk :-)

I do drink lots of water as well.

Coke and UHT milk, there's a new mixer.

"I only wear socks outdoors even in this weather"..

Now that, I'm sure is a fib!

Picture to prove it please!

57% proof is weak as cat's wee. Most spirits are 70% proof. Did you mean 57% ABV? There is a great difference.

[Vagus]

Tanqueray No. 10 is 47.3%
Courvoisier is 40%
Grand Marnier 40%
Glen Moray 40%
The Hive 46%
Smirnoff 37.5%
These are the percentages on the labels, which is the only number I can go by Jackdaw.
It’s true Alava, can’t abide hot feet, hang ‘em out the bed in the night. Trust me, you wouldn’t want a photo of my feet...

[Vagus]

jno, coke and UHT milk, now there’s a mixture to really make a person shudder :(

[Jackdaw33]

The 'proof' measure is now obsolete and replaced by Alcohol By Volume (ABV). As a rough guide, 70% proof equals 40% ABV.

Dry January here :0(

[Vagus]

I bow to your vastly superior alcoholic knowledge Jack, although I think you knew what I meant ;)
Dry January here too Khandro, lasted for a week.
