MM Speakeasy (The Spirits Thread)

It's not a matter of trying more gin (or whatever) for some folks - they just don't like the flavor at all. I have yet to taste a gin that didn't make me want to do this... including Hendricks.

This is fine. 

But saying "I despise gin and everything that has gin in it" doesn't mean you get to substitute the gin in a cocktail with a spirit whose best quality is that it is "odorless and tasteless" and still call it a Martini. So you like alcoholic olive brine. COOL. Good for you. But maybe don't say how much you love martinis, ya feel what I'm saying?

Like, let's say I love mint juleps, but bourbon tastes like crayons and smells like old men so I substitute bourbon for spiced rum. Brown spirit is brown spirit, yeah? 

So I still love mint juleps, right? Right guys?
