    Thank you for suggesting this! We just got the Receta Oaxaqueña - Gracias a Dios GIN!… Blew. Our. Minds.
    I never KNEW you could sip a nice gin neat.
    Grilling on the beach, sipping on this, and making refreshing Tom Collins for everybody to enjoy sounds like a dream!

    Since you say it has a citrus note to it, it could make a good substitute for tequila in a Jalisco Old Fashioned with a bit of agave nectar (in lieu of simple syrup) and an orange bitters. It could also make a great wet martini... I might have to get some of this!

    Before I got into tequila I was a Gin man. I’m from Texas so a cold G&T is so refreshing in the summer. Plymouth is my absolute favorite. Hendricks with cucumber slice ie great too. Do not forget the he fevertree! The tonic is what makes or breaks the drink. Brambles are also delightful

    Gunpowder Irish Gin is hands down the best gin I ever had… but I really want to try this. I’m a huge Negroni fan and think this agave based gin would be very interesting in a Negroni

    The gracias a dios red label is fantastic - had one of the best cocktails of my life at the Nobu in Cabo San Lucas
    The salmon:
    2 slices strawberries, muddled
    1/2 oz orgeat
    1/2 oz yuzu juice
    1.5 oz gracias a dios red label
    1/2 oz Aperol
    Garnished with 3 drops sesame oil, sesame seeds, and an edible flower

    Beefeater gets a lot of hate? I saw some of that after the announcement of the U.S. version getting its ABV lowered a tad but that's really it. I think it's a pretty solid workhorse gin that's widely available.

    Agave based Gin, that is an interesting idea. Instead of calling it a London Dry Gin you could call this a Oaxaca Dry Gin.

    I picked up that bottle last summer, and we really liked it for the first half of the bottle. By the time we got to the last half we couldn't wait for it to be gone. I'm very glad for the experience, and I do recommend it to others to try, but I don't think I'll be going to back to it again. As a suggestion try using this gin with lime juice and agave syrup. It blurs the line between a gimlet and a Tommy's margarita, and it was hands down my favorite use of this gin.

    • @Lui_Fern
      @Lui_Fern  Před 2 měsíci +1

      That does sound like the perfect use for this gin! Thanks for the rec. Why would you say you couldn't sit to be done with it?

    • @ChemistryTalkwithDan
      @ChemistryTalkwithDan Před 2 měsíci

      @@Lui_Fern It was more for my wife who thought it was too funky for a gin. A G&T is her absolute favorite drink, and this gin just didn't do it for her. And since I have a limited space to store bottles this one became the one that was taking up space that could have been used for something that we both like. I do really like the Gracias a Dios espadin mezcal, and I wish there was a greater selection of their lineup where I live.

    I saw agave bourbon in the liquor store yesterday, had a few items on my list already, so I didn't grab it. I've been hearing about a reduction in agave prices, do you suppose that's the catalyst for these products or is it just a trend? How long until we see Busch Lite Agave? Roasted Agave beside the Avocado at the Subway Sandwich shop?
    (Edit) Stopped by on the way home from work and grabbed a bottle, Devils River Agave Bourbon, 80 proof and $27.99 for 750 ml.
