View Full Version : Lemon or Lime
It's cool either way, but which fruit do you prefer in your gin and tonic?
Gin, can't stand the stuff. Might be my palette but it tastes like eau-de-cologne. Ugh! [smirk]
JAWS, you have no taste man.
Crayola, I once tried telling my ex-wife that I thought I had a definite lack of taste. I can't repeat her reply but my bruises eventually healed.
Mind you, as I said, she is my Ex-wife! [lol]
What you you prefer in your G&T?
My quality control is awol 'e night. I blame it on the lemon. [mad]
lol - I never even noticed and I haven't touched a drop since Saturday night.
I voted lime - cut into slices & placed in the freezer before use - very cool! :)

Paris, you're not supposed to drink it with a vengeance -- a slice of lemon or lime is much better...

Need to be in the mood for G&T....it's not my usual tipple
I like lemon
I love G and T made by my dad, tall glass lots of ice and a slice of lemon and a quick squeeze of lemon into the glass too. drank in their french garden under a tree when the sun is shining
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
I like either lemon or lime in my gin and tonic, but would probably choose lime these days, as I prefer Coke or Pepsi with lime to Coke or Pepsi with lemon. I also like gin and bitter lemon, preferably with ice, which is how I drink my G&T. OK, whose round is it? ;)

The smell of gin is what makes me unable to even contemplate drinking it I feel it should be in a spray bottle this said I still have it in the house in case anyone who visits likes a tipple.

I'll keep that in mind, Alice? Will we have to bring our own tonic and lemons/limes?

Not had G & T since I got legless in R.A.F.Wildenrath Sergeants mess in 1983 - twenty pee a shot - ish.
I'd prefer lime though cos it's zingy and zesty. I find lemon rather bitter.
Isn't Gin 'mothers ruin' .?What a charming old moniker for the stuff. I understand it was staple in working class homes in harder, older times. We all needs an escape I guess.
G&T with lots of ice, had it with lemon never tried lime.
Don't get much of a hangover with G&T either, me and my mate drunk nearly two bottles one nite, right as rain the next day!!;)
Put lime in ma corona tho, superb.:p
Gin i hate the smell and taste of the stuff.

Definitely lime! Only thing about the fruit though is it is green in colour - eh golach?
By the way - are you coming down with something, your taste in alcoholic drink - it's a wonder your liver is still going ;)
