Today’s advent bag contains Bombay Sapphire gin.

THE DRINK | BOMBAY SAPPHIRE GIN AND TONIC

Prior to this adventure, I had not experienced gin.  However, part of the agreement was to taste drinks that I had never had before.  I was up for the challenge.

My husband recommended a traditional gin and tonic.  His thought was that I should try it at least once.  So I did.  Ummmm…not my thing. It did smell very lovely, but that taste was just horrific.  Gin is apparently not for everyone.  I took two sips and just could not continue.  My apologies to those of you that favor the flavor of the juniper berry.  I will be sticking with wine tonight.

The Drink

  • shot of Bombay Sapphire gin
  • 3 ounces of tonic
