I’m not much of a hard liquor kind of girl. \u00a0I mostly stick to wine or beer and lately it’s been more beer than wine. \u00a0I cannot get enough of the Belgian beers! \u00a0More on that at another time though.<\/p>\n

Scott enjoys the harder stuff and through him I’ve learned about a little more about them and my taste preferences.<\/p>\n

I’ve always been fascinated with gin because it smells amazing. \u00a0It smells like old timey men’s cologne. \u00a0Like something a dapper gent would have worn back in the 1930s or 1940s. \u00a0I know that might not be the most appealing description but I do mean it in a complimentary way. \u00a0I love it!<\/p>\n

I finally ventured into drinking my own gin drinks after tasting a few of Scott’s experiments. I found two styles that I love and those are what I tend to stick with. \u00a0I also have two favorite gins that I keep on hand at all times.<\/p>\n

My most favorite gin is Death’s Door<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I like small batch and craft style gins which is precisely Death’s Door’s style. \u00a0It’s not a harsh gin but it does have some heat behind it. \u00a0It’s very smooth, not overly piney, but does have that lovely juniper smell to it.<\/p>\n

Subtle men’s cologne, if you will. \u00a0It’s amazing and if you like gin I highly suggest seeking it out and giving it a go.<\/p>\n

My next favorite gin is Smooth Ambler<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Smooth Ambler gin is so smooth you might not even realize you are drinking gin. \u00a0It is a great gin for mixed drinks because it blends well. \u00a0It doesn’t have a strong smell to it and there’s no burn or spice on the aftertaste.<\/p>\n

Both of these gins are perfect in a glass and I highly recommend them! \u00a0If you’re new to gin each of these are great introductory gins.<\/p>\n

Next week I’ll post the recipes for the two gin drinks that I enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
