Hey, gin and tonic was invented as a way of making anti-malaria medication (quinine) palatable in British colonial India.

I always tell Mrs. Zap I'm drinking them to ward off malaria AND scurvy, so therefore, it's healthy. Plus, it's quite refreshing during our "Hotter than Satan's Balls" summers.

And as to some folks belief it is unpalatable, I recommend Broker's gin. To me, it has more than a hint of Rosemary. Sounds weird, but it's really good.

OK, but what did they invent to make gin & tonic palatable?

I like gin and grapefruit juice as a salty dog in the summer and thought I'd try the gin and tonic last year.
I have several bottles of tonic in the beer fridge if anyone want them.

Huh. I'll try some Broker's and rosemary. Just bruise it?? Or chop it? Or stick it in the blender and puree the **** outta it?? With tonic or straight?? This intrigues me. Lol

I can see that conversation:

Dear God, man, but this quinine stuff tastes absolutely horrendous! I say, do you have anything to mix in with it?
Well, I have this insecticide that we could try.
By Jove, I think you've got it!

And then the Empire comes crashing down around their ears.

Lost me on the sour cream. I can't understand how anyone can eat that swill.

It's not bad if ya eat it like a condiment rather than pudding (mustard by itself ain't all that great either)...

Sour cream is really good with spicy foods (I like it with lasagna).

Either we have different ideas of "lasagna," or you have a really low tolerance for spicy.

Lol, you'd be surprised. We buy jalapenos by the gallon, and keep several bottles of tabasco on hand.

Lasagna is just one of the things I like with sour cream. It's also good with enchiladas and such.
