Last night . . . "Suffering Bastard" from Remixed. I've never been a drinker of Gin; maybe had one or two gin drinks in my life, but I decided to try it. I used Beefeater London Dry Gin, E&J VSO*P brandy, Rose's Lime cordial and D&G Jamaican Ginger Beer.
Following the recipe exactly I found that the four ounces of ginger beer totally dominated over all the other flavors in the drink - but of course, I dank it anyway. I made another one and cut back by one ounce on the ginger beer but that effort had little effect . . . ginger beer still dominated over all the other flavors - but, not a bad drink after all and of course, I drank it.
I am most tempted to try the other two 'Bastard' drinks in Remixed - the Dying Bastard and the Dead Bastard - and I'm leaning more toward the Dead Bastard because it uses 1/2 ounce each of four different liquors; gin, Bourbon, brandy and light while the other ingredients remain the same - I think I'll still cut back the ginger beer by an ounce.
I'll report back later . . with a photo.
