Can't get a decent G&T

[Kinkajou]

Fever Tree—available in Mississippi, now hoping for a Saks Fifth Avenue. :D

Not sure if Ruslan will still be on the Mariner in November, but he makes a mighty fine blue cheese stuffed olive to go with your Hendricks, which I just drink straight.

 

My husband was not pleased with Regent's selection of rye whiskeys so he found a bottle of Bulleit when we were in either Juneau or Ketchikan last month. I had made a special request for either Bulleit or Rittenhouse, but didn't receive either one. I made sure to make a note on our comment card to see if they could start stocking more rye. However, my next goal is to have Stella Artois available all the time without a special request.

As a confirmed vodka drinker for many years, I was pretty skeptical about gin....until our daughter and son in law (Newport, RI and sailing elite) turned us on to Hendrick's. WOW! Great drink! BUT, to be honest, I only learned of Fever Tree from this board. We live in the somewhat "boonies" of NY state and no one up here has heard of it. In doing a search, the only place that stocks it is Walmart.....go figure! My bud and I tried the FT with Hendrick's and honestly didn't care for it. A lot going on with both the gin and the tonic. IMO, they competed with each other and I thought the FT was pretty sweet. HOWEVER, we tried the FT with vodka....now that was wonderful! I don't know what other gins we'll find on the Mariner in Nov. but it would be a great place to try some different ones!

 

Fever Tree I've not seen this here but Gin wise has anyone tried Barr Hill from Vermont. We weren't gin drinkers until we tried it. We took a bottle with us on our last cruise.
