    It is supposed to have hints of cherry blossom and jasmine??
    Enjoyed it with the unusual combination of my favourite tonic and a splash of lemon mineral water in-lieu of juice.:idea:
    They had priced the 1litre at the 750ml price so I hoped the best. :pStill favour Bombay Sapphire, but I’m getting through it and look forward to my evening tipples :cool:

    Thanks for the info, @Dartplayer! I'll have to give it a try sometime. My overall favorite gin remains Hendrick's, with their Orbium and Neptunia editions being reserved for a special tipple. For some reason, I'm not a Bombay Sapphire fan, but I've not had it in a long while so will give it another chance.

    Try the Bombay Sapphire East Sandi, a slightly different nose to it and imo a better drink ;)

    The weather is nice enough to sip a cocktail in the backyard again. :)

    Wednesday it was an Uncle Nearest Whiskey Old Fashioned accompanied by some roasted cashews.

    Thursday I opted for a Hendrick's Gin Gimlet. Since we didn't have any limes, I substituted a lemon wedge for the lime which complimented the Rose's Lime Juice very nicely. I may start making my gimlets with that combo from now on.

    Friday night we attended the University of Arizona baseball game. We have season tickets but haven't gone to many games so far this year for one reason or another. The team record in Pac-12 play has been abysmal--they had an 11 game losing streak going into this nights game with the Washington Huskies--but on this night we WON! :D And I had a fantastic local IPA made by Dragoon Brewery accompanied by a delicious Sonoran hotdog.

    Back to an old favourite tonight. If it's good enough for Gladys, it's good enough for me :joy:

    Local gin event with “World Class” range I thought @Sandi T might like.
    I enjoyed the Larios and see Roku figures again

    Thanks, @Dartplayer! :) That event would be right up my alley. :yum Out of all those gins pictured I've only had the Hendricks Neptunia and the Aviation. Did you try something new to you that you especially liked?

    My current fave....Hendrick's Neptunia. This is my favorite classic martini made with Neptunia, Vya vermouth, and the delicious peel from a lemon from our neighbor's lemon tree which has branches hanging over into our yard just ripe for the picking. ;):)

    I had the Larios Rose, after enjoying Larios before. The Hendricks Neptunia was better than standard Hendricks, so see why it is a fav.
    They did have Tanquiry and Bombay, which are my normal go to, so was pleased with that. I did have to stop, so did get to try the plum or sour :imp:

    I'll have to see if my go-to liquor store carries the Larios Rose, @Dartplayer, as I recall you previously saying the that you like it a lot.
