When I was in college (a million years ago) a friend always drank gin and tonics. Every Friday, we would head over to his dorm and about 15 of us would unwind from a tough week of assignments, work study, and cafeteria food. He drank Tanqueray gin, and while I tried it a couple times to be sure, it just tasted like chewing on pine needles to me. I avoided gin from then on.
This past summer, my mom and dad would have a gin and tonic every once in a while. One day, Dave brought home Bombay Sapphire gin...and now I'm hooked. I told them how I don't like it and then I took a sip. Oh, the mistakes we make. I like mine with a lot of fresh lime juice, two shots of gin and lots of ice with my tonic. It is like an adult lime-aide.
So, when the week gets tough, I look at my husband and just say, "lots of lime please."
