I am wondering why you know what a pine tree tastes like.

plus gin+tonic without gin tastes a lot like tonic water, which sucks.

And you know how pinetrees taste?

Actually, that doesn't sound half bad - might have to try it sometime!

Mix it with juice - you can't even tell it's there :p

I love both of them straight up, gin especially :p

Maybe you're not drinking good gin? Get some hendricks or tanqueray 10.

Seeing as gin is primarily flavored with juniper berries (juniper being an evergreen), it's not surprising that it has a "piney" taste. I love that taste.

Gin = vodka (pure grain alcohol) re-distilled with juniper berries and other flavorings.

Yeah, pine is exactly what I taste, too. It's actually decent with tonic, though.

I don't really like whiskey, either. I guess I'm just not really one for the taste of wood...

Saying that vodka, easily the worst-tasting of all hard liquors, is "awesome" invalidates anything you might say about gin.

What have you been drinking? Vodka doesn't really "taste," which makes it a great mixer and easy to shoot.

gin and tonics are good, as long as the person making them knows what they're doing...read: disguising the gin :)

straight-up vodka=rubbing alcohol. It's the lack of taste which makes it nasty.

Hmmm I'd rather have gin than vodka... 5 o'clock gin > 5 o'clock vodka in my book. Gin in tonic with a lime = goodness.

Tell that to someone whose first drinking experience was having FAR too much vodka and puking constantly for 2 days :p
