Saw Potters gin in a 1.75 jug at my local Grocery Outlet.
Bought it to save me an extra trip to the liquor store.

And soooo glad I took a chance on it. It is delicious! Great
botanicals – nice balance. Dry – and the flavor stands up in over the rocks martinis.

Best of all: A 1.75 jug sells for $10.99. Compare that to a fifth of Plymouth, Junipero or Saphire! Oh yeah: I mostly drink martinis so the gin has to be good. And I prefer mine with a really good garlic or almond stuffed olive.

Perfect formula every time: Pour out 2-3 ounces of the gin.
Hold bottle up to the light. Slowly DRIBBLE (don’t pour) your choice of vermouth. Watch the vermouth snake its way half way down the bottle. Cap it. Shake bottle for 3 minutes. Put bottle in the freezer.

Skip ice. Pour the martini direct from the bottle. I think you’ll thank me… but xxxpensive gin distillers sure as hell won’t!! I have many converts! Try it.

Amazingly, Tony and I rated the gins EXACTLY the same:

4. Bombay Sapphire: blecch! This is the gin I’ve bought for years, but it’s cloying, pungent and tastes like someone drizzled perfume into the glass.
3. Tanqueray: oily (viscous) and citrus-y. OK, but a distant third.
2. Beefeater: not bad, somewhat salty/saline tasting, but do-able.

and the winner:

1. Plymouth: by far the smoothest. So much so, we drank the rest of the bottle the next night.
