Giles had been lynig on his bed, bent double with psychosomatic toothache. His stragled shout had been a semi-delerious reply to Quentin's courtly knock. By 12:30, Giles had consumed five Gin Rickeys, four gin and tonics, three gin and its, two gin and bitters, and one gin.

that is a fucking great quote.

if you know or look up the recipes you realize the concentration of pure gin gradually increases.

the gin rickey is like a gimlet with added water-- very refreshing

gin & tonic, well requires no explanation. so far so good.

gin & it is like a martini but with sweet vermouth (minus the olives of course). rather than a watery liquid you're mixing 2 types of booze now.

gin & bitters is just gin & angostura bitters! 2 oz + 1/2 tsp.

1 gin. ha!

gin bitters by the way i was curious about & just had this past weekend. we had a party @ home & i was mixing the booze. i made myself 3 gin & bitters towards the end of the night. it is a fucking awesome drink. a lot of people won't like it i'm sure. it's strong as fuck-- but delicious.

anyway i need breakfast after talking about this.
