Reply to comment by Snatch_Pastry in eli5: Why does cheap alcohol taste worse than nicer alcohol? by Chase_The_Dream

Lmaooo. How someone can enjoy gin and tonic is really beyond me. I can't unsee that when I see someone who likes it.

My favorite on a hot summer day. It's got to be good gin (I like Tanqueray), generous amounts of ice and lime with any decent tonic(Canada Dry or Schweppes). So crisp and refreshing.

Have you tried Tanqueray Rangpur? It makes any gin drink that you’re going to make with lime taste even better.

Tonic is not soda water. It’s quinine juice. Quinine is a bitter, obsolete medical extract that has horrible side effects. If you don’t like a gin and tonic it’s probably not the gin you object to.

Yeah I'm aware there is a difference. Having had shots of gin, I can say with confidence there is nothing about a gin and tonic or gin by itself that I think is appealing, hence my astonishment when someone enjoys it or calls it their drink or choice.

I've found that substituting premium vodka for gin in most traditional gin drinks works really well
