First Round: Tanqueray vs. New Amsterdam

Even though March is over, March Madness isn't. Baseball (go Royals!) also started back up, so there has been no time to make or drink fancy cocktails. Barely enough time for some serious channel surfing and cracking open a cold one. Sports and beer are like chips and salsa. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Someone was too nervous to watch the Final Four games.
Well, I lied. A little. Gin and tonics were had last week. On Thursday. We made them kind of weak, on purpose, because we try not to enjoy too many libations during the week. Unless it's a special occasion. Like a new episode of Parks and Rec.

Neither of us has never, ever been a huge fan of gin. Surprisingly, though, gin and tonic is really, really tasty. And easy. Gin, tonic, lime juice, ice. That's it. And you'll look super cool while sipping your sophisticated drink.

Actually we used gin comparison as another excuse to have a nice little night cap. Could we, or could we not, tell the difference between a top shelf (Tanqueray) and a middle shelf (New Amsterdam) gin?

We couldn't. Must continue educating our palates, then. Must not give up.
