Everything I know about healthy living I learned from Irish bartenders: “gin’ll make you depressed, sure it will,”* and a hot port or hot whiskey will cure what ails you.
* They claim it’s because of the many botanicals and herbs that go into gin, a belief I don’t happen to share.
Gin is my favorite hard liquor, claims to depression be damned. After all, isn’t alcohol a depressant? And as such, then wouldn’t drinking gin be drinking the most depressing of the depressants and therefore, the best of the best?
I think so! Bartender - another dry martini with that slippery slope please!
Note: Zacapa Rum (Guatemalan rum from the first press of sugar cane) is currently a strong contender vying to be my late night sweetheart.
