How about a gin toddy

3 shots of gin
2 shots boiling water
1/2 lime
pinch of sugar (optional)
garnish with cinamon stick

That's a good one but there's something about the aftertaste of it that doesn't agree with me.
Anyone else have any?

I've read in the supplements in the sunday paper about a fashion for gin and tea, but I don't think it would work unless it was really fancy tea

No, it goes great together....Last friday, I was working late trying to finish up on my finals. I was already about half way through a bottle of jameson and I needed to mix up somthing to give me a little boost. I look around my hotel and notice that the room was equiped with a kerug. you know one of those individual cup coffe makers. At first I was thinking that an irish coffee would do, then I saw in the basket that I had a selection of coffee and tea. I went for a litte expirement and made a green tea and gin drink. It hit the spot. I recommend giving it a try.

Hmmm. Green tea is a good idea. Maybe Jasmine tea would work too.
I got tons of different teas at home and I've been mixing lots of booze with them recently. Woohooo!
