My wall o' gin. The actual wall behind is unfinished, needs the rest of the mortar brushing off and the sealing. Horrible, time-consuming, messy job which will get done at some point.

I can see what's stopping you doing it.
"I'll start the wall today, just after I have one of these strategically placed gins"

Doesn't all gin taste basically the same?

God no. Used to think I didn't like gin. Then I realised it's because I didn't like Gordon's, which is all I'd tried to drink in the past.

On topic: Negroni for now, a beer or two later.

JD for bourbon (although I know they don't call it that) and Smirnoff for vodka. Both absolutely miserable first impressions for a spirit unless you're mixing them with coke.
Soda water and lime, ginger beer and now a pint of water for me tonight... Fun!

My wifeβs the same, despite being French. Have to careful what I pick, Bordeaux is generally ok, RhΓ΄neβs go down a treat especially shat a noof de poop. If I slip a burgundy in the majestic order I end up drinking the bottle myself Oh no! π Majestic/Naked do some really nice Corbieres, too. Villemajou, etc.

Is it sweet or a dry cider?
Our lad is experimenting with booze and likes some ciders. Thus far i have failed with buying one he likes, though after a recent party, he now has a few suggestions.
Another option for us to let him try with a meal/drink at home would be useful.

It's a dry. I'm not fond of sweet ones, tbh. Like a Rekorderlig, I can feel the diabetes forming with each sip.

Noticed my aperol stock is low. A sign of being post-summer i guess. Love an aperol spritz.
Just have to buckle in over winter until it's aperol time again!

My dad would be spinning to think that ale was now all about the fruit notes and stuff! I don't mind them & some are really nice. I just think it's the bandwagon du jour. Every other ipa is a hazy this or that just now. /shouts at clouds some more
