That won't be difficult, we have it here and I was thinking about that one. It's the only one that is widely available. You endorsing it is enough, I'll pick some up for her.

Don't forget, gin makes white women think they can sing like Billie Holiday.

I remember that you suggested that a few years back. Still haven't tried it as it doesn't seem to be common here.

I actually went to the liquor store yesterday and looked, and damn, they had every kind of their stuff but the tonic. Soda, ginger ale and beer, but no tonic.

It's easily found elsewhere.

They are a refreshing drink. Bitters, herbals, bubbles, and so much ice that it hurts the other guy's teeth to look at it.

boodles I believe is a reincarnation of an older brand that went belly up. I drank a lot of the old boodles in the day.

Spanish gin is excellent. Larios is a favorite, Gin Mare is great. Mahon is a different animal.

The Boodles brand has been sold several times, but the recipe and vacuum distillation process are reportedly still the same. No citrus and a more pronounced floral character are the distinctive characteristics.
