Verdict:##
Pina Colada:
S: So let me just say this: make sure to find the least gritty coconut milk out there. If you don’t, your drink gets a wee bit grainy, and looks like it’s split. Not the best looking drink ever. I also had a workout, drinking the coconut foam first, then going for the booze. If I didn’t do that, it didn’t taste like a classic pina colada. A learning experience for sure. Wish I had chosen the G&T.
Gin & Tonic:
D: Gin & Tonic is delicious as always, outside of single malt, my favourite drink. Tanquerary is a very good choice for a standard gin & tonic, as you would expect to get one in a bar. It just tastes right, like pea soup on a cold winter day. We do use a lot of Hendrick’s, but Tanqueray with lime is classic, just great.
