Tastes

New Amsterdam “might as well be vodka” Gin. All I have to say is, after making 2 gin and tonic’s, I rechecked the bottle 3 time thinking I accidentally bought vodka… So I finally took a few sips of it straight up to check it. It wasn’t until then that I could finally just test the juniper. On its own it was kinda nice and mild… However, unless you don’t like gin but still want to drink it straight for some reason, I would never recommend it. The only person I know that like to drinking straight gin, is my 94 year old grandfather. So needless to say, I will NEVER buy it again, even to save a few bucks!!! I did just discover something new recently that I’d recommend. If you want a little lighter, smooth and slightly sweeter like Tanqueray, there is a Japanese gin called Roku. Loved it! Give it a try
