Mack, Of course, you are right. I will try it - it may be like an upscale Tom Collins (which was my first drink of choice before I met Martini) Simple is always best - the drinks that are too frou-frou-ed up can be such a waste of fine liquor. A momentary thrill with no afterglow ;-)
For the gin aficionados, I have fallen completely in love with a new Scottish import - Hendricks. In addition to the usual 10 or 20 or 30 botanicals, Hendricks includes cucumber and roses. It is very expensive and impossible to find but I am doing my best to promote it. First found it at Hal's in Venice where a Joni painting hangs. Kakki > aw, but simple can be so grand. that is the beauty of gin to me. Feels > great but not overbearing as the other liquors will quickly drive me to the > toilet. Also, little to no hangover the next day. The perfect beverage.
