Have any of you tried Bols Genever? It's a Dutch gin that I got a taste for when I lived in Amsterdam. It's sold incredibly cheap here, I got a liter of it for 25 pesos, but it's the same product as in the Netherlands.

No it's not exactly the same. It's locally produced under license, which is not to say it's not good. It's been made here in Argentina for over a 100 years I think, it's a very traditional option.

Back in the LBC we drank Gin and Juice

Gin And Juice: Snoop Doggy Dogg

Ingredients: Seagram's or Tanqueray gin, orange juice
“Later on that day / My homie Dr. Dre came through with a gang of Tanqueray / And a fat ass jay / Of some Bubonic Chronic that made me choke / Shit this ain’t no joke / I had to back up off of it and sit my cup down / Tanqueray and Chronic yeah I’m fucked up now...” –Snoop Dogg. “Gin And Juice.”

Yeah, in my 20's, use to gobble down the Gin & Tonic. Then switched to the fine Whiskeys, then to Bourbons,then came the
fine Vodkas, went to California to discover the intricacy flavourful alcohol taken form the delicious fruit called the grapes.
Now days combining the good Wines with some extra dry beers of Japan. Then sometime pour that golden liquid with one ice in the glass, delicioso !
