    From JIM WELLER@1:123/140 to MICHAEL LOO on Monday, June 11, 2018 22:17:00

    Quoting Michael Loo to Jim Weller <=-

    Ungava gin [...] is so smooth that despite being 86 proof it is
    lovely sipped straight up and so my martinis are drier and my
    G&Ts shorter than usual.

    And you were on the floor more frequently?

    Nah. I used less mix, not more gin. Besides I rarely have more than
    1 or 2 an evening.

    I'm doubtful of syrup from canned fruit, because it's thickened
    enough to become a negative flavorant. Unless yours was real
    peach juice.

    It was light syrup i.e. 20% and with the lemon juice and other
    ingredients it was no longer thick at all and the peach flavour
    came through nicely.

    pineapple-grapefruit, which was popular in the '50s-'60s

    I remember that at breakfast as a kid. I haven't seen it in years.

    the other gin, egg white, cilantro and lime juice, which the
    guy was submitting to a competition this week.

    I like cilantro in a lot of things but I am very skeptical about
    that combination. What did you think of it?
