C'mon, Man! I thought everybody knew that the distinctive flavor of Tonic Water is from Quinine which is used as a treatment for malaria. The Colonial Anglishers invented the "Gin and Tonic" in India (dot not feather) way back in the 1800s or something as a way to make the "treatment" more palatable. So palatable in fact that it became a popular adult beverage which they decided to use as a prophylactic measure.
Gin itself, could be considered medicinal, as it is just "white lightning" distilled a few thymes, with the final distillation being filtered through various herb/spices. Juniper Berry being the main aromatic, which is also used medicinally for something or another. Lemon/Citrus Peel and a wide variety of shit can go into a Gin recipe, even thyme!
Get yourself a bottle of Restless Spirits Distillery's "Builder's Botanical Gin," it is pretty damn good. I have toured the facility, and can assure you that they do good work. Their Whiskeys, particularly the Irish are quite drinkable. The Vodka, meh, it is just triple distilled "neutral spirits" so tastes like rubbing alcohol smells. Yuck. I think they might do some activated charcoal shit with their vodka.
Anyway, the wife of the husband/wife team that runs the place developed the Gin recipe, she puts all sorts of crazy shit in there. The husband is like me a Whiskey man, so he mainly does that side. I think the wife came up with the idea to make Vodka, mainly so the Vodka drinkers would have something to buy...
Anyway, if Quinine fucks up the malaria bacterium maybe it can fuck up the CornHoleEbola-19.5 virus. I mean, as far as I can tell this CHE-19.5 virus is pretty weak: it can only take out people on the verge of death anyway. So who knows, maybe quinine actually is effective?
Apparently, they/themthe hobo elite aren't really sure how Quinine fucks up malaria in the first place. So I imagine it will be put under the "junk medical science" bugaboo, even though it may actually work against a weak-ass gay virus that cannot even manage a Case Fatality Rate of 1 in 100,000 or so.
That is some weak sauce: if you have a better chance of being eaten by an alligator than dying of the virus I don't see what all the hubbub has been about.
I think our resources might be better spent trying to Caccinate the various world-wide Sasquatch populations who are the vector for this nothing-burger of a pandemic...
I will say that I am profoundly disappointed that the lambda variant is getting overshadowed by this mu variant.
Sure, it makes perfect sense. Absinthe, too, since that is how wormwood got its name, just think of it as alcoholic horse paste. I have been thinking of ways to combine tonic water and absinthe since I have some just laying around, for that hot-summer-afternoon refresher with icewater I usually just prefer Ricard. On the old bellgab (RIP) I had begun working out a pandemic cocktail featuring a blend of all the delicious bitter insecticides with albrecht but I don't think we got very far once we determined that a carbonated mixer messes with the louching.
Builders gin is new to me, thank you! I will see if they have it at the liquor barn.
