Copper Kettle
(Joan Baez)


Get you a copper kettle
And get you a copper coil
Cover with new cut corn mash
And never more you'll toil

Chorus:

You just lay there by the juniper
While the moon is high
And watch them jugs a-fillin
In the pale moonlight


Build your fires of hickory
Hickory or ash or oak
Don't use no green or rotten wood
They'll catch you by the smoke

(Chorus)

My daddy he made whiskey
My granddaddy did too
We ain't paid no whiskey tax
Since Seventeen Ninety Two

(Chorus)

Alex C:
It's really all in the vermouth in this case. I wouldn't drink beefeater straight under any circumstances, but again, with vya extra dry (actually drinkable straight, believe it or not!) it's pretty nice. You need something that can stand up to the ol' pinesol, in other words, and most vermouths don't add enough complexity to balance out something as overpoweringly straight forward as beefeater. As for tanqueray, I still don't really prefer it enough over beefeater to bother with the sticker price, since at that point I'd rather just scrimp up the cash for some Plymouth. It's really a value-for-the-dollar proposition, in my mind.

ViolentDove:
Gordons is really not that bad for bottom shelf gin.

Also, if you drink a gin and tonic under UV light, you look like you're drinking some kind of magical glowing space drink. This should be reason enough for anyone to drink a gin and tonic.




(The double bonded carbon rings in quinine fluroresce under UV light. Man it looks awesome)

Vendetagainst:
While that is completely awesome, it is not because of the aromatic rings. Shame on you.

Also, I could drink vermouth straight. I have only tried one brand (outside of a martini) but I thought it was quite palpable. But then again I could probably drink lemon extract straight.

Inlander:
Man, I love gin as a basis for totally classy cocktails, but it would have to be super top-quality gin before I'd even consider drinking it straight from the bottle.
