My favorite liquor, I like this one:



I mix it with tonic or Sprite or energy drink.
Tryed mixing it with cranberry juice once, did not compute.

Nope, Red Bull is too expensive for that, 12 kn (~$3) per 250 ml can.
When I was in Prague, I drank gin with Big Bang, price was less than $2 per 500 ml can.
They're practically the same, price and package are the only differences.

Why do you ask?

Because i am a gin noob and want to find other ways of drinking gin....


So red bull will work flavor wise?

Originally posted by Fledz You know what? I was like that too. Gin = Absolutely awful Tonic = Rubbish as well.

You know, I absolutely love tonic on its own. I remember going to my grandfather's house when I was a kid, he had an impressive bar with almost any kind of booze you can imagine. He had a little fridge built into it where he kept all sorts of chasers and of course tonic water. Once (I must have been like 8 years old) I told my dad I wanted to try his G&T with a splash of Blue Curacao (which is delish, by the way) and he gave me a sip. I loved it. Asked for another sip, and another sip. My grandfather thought he would mess with me and gave me the can of tonic thinking that I would hate the bitter taste but I actually loved it.

After that day, he always had a can of tonic ready whenever I came to visit. He passed away 2 years ago, and every now and then I have some tonic and it brings back so many memories of going to that house.

Everyone seems to think I'm a weirdo for drinking it straight.

I've had the same thought for over a week. I have a bottle of Tanqueray in the car...I might run to the store on my lunch hour and grab me some tonic.

I used to do the same thing and discovered another upside to ordering tonic and lime at bars/clubs. When I was under 21 I can't even tell you how many times I'd order a tonic and lime from one bartender and when I would walk up to another one with the empty glass they would say "another gin and tonic?" why yes, thank you

I see... Yes, it'll definitely work. With good enough ratio it'll kill the taste of alcohol, leaving only the sweet fizziness.

But that goes for almost any liquor mixed with Red Bull (or other energy drink), at least the ones that I've tasted.

Btw, I'm avoiding Red Bull after hearing it's very hazardous for heart and veins, more than any other energy drink.

welp I caved and am now at my desk drinking a massive Sapphire and tonic out of a 44oz plastic cup from a gas station

i also used to drink tonic water as a kid.

note to self for the future: a 44oz G&T is probably larger than I should make to drink while at work

actually since they have redone the ADD classifications if you are over the age of 21, willing to spend 2 hours researching, and even a half-assed actor you can get ADHD meds in the US. ADHD primarily inattentive type is what I am and I would think would be pretty easy to fake since you don't have to be hyperactive and impulsive (like with primarily hyperactive or combined). It is really just an extreme inability to concentrate even when you should normally be able to do so. I got my diagnosis as an adult and basically I went in, talked to the psychologist, he asked me about 100 questions, and he handed me my diagnosis. Two visits, total of two hours.

the rest of the scripts, those take a bit more work to get
