When somone wants a "gin and tonic", what kinda gin is it ?

Question

Dry, de Kuypers etc.

Answer 1

what ever kind of gin you have

Answer 2

I am a bartender and when someone orders a drink, it's made with whatever the bar stock is, unless they qualify it when ordering, as in a 7/7. For that we would use Seagrams 7 and white soda. For a Tangeray and Tonic it would be tangeray gin, but gin and tonic we would use the cheapest bar liquor.

Answer 3

Most bars have a generic alcohol product for whatever type of alcohol you want, as well as the most well known name brands. If you order a "gin and tonic" you will get that generic brand. If you want a certain product, and nothing else, you order a "de Kuypers and tonic, please?"

Their profit margin is based on them selling name brand alcohol for each shot. When they get to substitute the generic product, their profit margin increases by 200 to 300%.

Answer 4

When one orders a gin and tonic without specifying the brand of gin, one will receive the house gin whatever that may be as it varies from bar to bar. Of course you can always specify what gin you want your gin and tonic to be made from.

Answer 5

Gordon's Gin is the original gin and tonic, say's so right on the bottle. Although I prefer Tangueray(sp.).

Answer 6

If you do not specify a brand name of gin, you get what is called "stock" gin. The cheapest brand available. So, next time specify the name of your favorite brand even though you may end up paying a little more for it!

Answer 7

It depends on what the house gin is. Every venue you go to will have the one brand of that drink that they use as standard. Such as if you ask for a scotch in one bar they might give you jonnie walker or in the bar down the street it might be different.

Answer 8

It's usually the house gin - Gordons or Tanqueray unless the customer specifies otherwise!

Answer 9

Use Tanqueray or Gordon's London dry gin.

Answer 10

Whatever the house gin is. Usually places have one brand that they serve regularly and that's the one they'll serve unless a customer asks for something specific.

Answer 11

Gin is made from juniper berries, and other herbs. So any kind will do.Gordons,Tanquray,Beefeaters. There is one other one, it's Genevia Gin...has a very pronounced and stronger taste of juniper. Cheers..
