Infinite MonkeysChad the Elder is raving about a new drink called the Ten Thyme Smash. It's not clear where this drink came from, although it is certainly part of the gin comeback.
The recipe is indeed hard to track down, although I believe it can be found in this book (which I have not read).
A few years ago, Monkey Ben declared the Summer of Rum. Out of sheer laziness, and inebriation, every summer since has been the summer of rum. And it's been lovely.
But now I'm declaring Summer 2008 the Summer of Gin. A gin primer and recipes to follow, no doubt with the same results as Ben's rum posts...
(Oh, what the heck, here's a good gin primer.)
Posted by David at April 22, 2008 09:17 AMI can't believe I wrote that gin piece seven years ago! I subsequently reconsidered my take on Tanqueray Malacca, but Tanqueray stopped producing it, so it doesn't make any difference. If I wrote that piece now, I would add Sarticious for praise and Magellin for scorn.
