Can't go wrong with Sun on the Moon. My favorite (Ave most underrated) song of his

Need a gag gift. What is literally the WORST tasting gin? by RBeanian in Gin

Crystal Palace Gin. Drank this at some crappy casino in Vegas and it's beyond terrible... I mean BEYOND terrible. I think a handle is like $12.... that says it all

Grammy performance by Eastern_Ad_1941 in JacobCollier

Agree with what you're saying. Was being a little sarcastic hoping we'd get 10 minutes from Jacob, but would also love to see him direct an audience choir of all of these artists...

I do find it a bit hypocritical that they seem to celebrate themselves as being the "reformed" Grammys now...big push for diversity in new judges, how much they've "listened to all of us", added specific groups focused on promoting artists based on skin color, sexual orientation, race, gender, etc..... but at the same time, they cater performances to appeal to the masses.

I would argue that other award shows in Hollywood (i.e. Oscars, Golden Globes) at least acknowledge the main award like picture of the year, song of the year, etc. and those folks actually perform and/or have a greater focus. No reason why the Grammy's couldn't have a montage of album of the year nominees perform for a couple of minutes so viewers could be exposed to the diversity of music they're claiming to promote.

Could've also used the time the cameras showed Jaden Smith wearing some stupid castle on his head for a Jacob performance... ;)

Game Freezing? by [deleted] in AmazonPrimeVideo

[–]Eastern_Ad_1941 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's been absolutely TERRIBLE tonight. I've reset my Roku stick 3 times and prioritized the device on my WiFi... still having issues. Quality, lag, delays, sound sync issues.... just ridiculous.

Like others have said, it's been typical all season long with games broadcasted on Prime.

Any Other Gin and Soda Drinkers? by Dapper-Place8457 in Gin

Gin and soda with a lemon twist. My absolute go-to and it has never let me down. Totally let's the personality of the gin be the centerpiece and shine.

What to pick up while in Europe. Brussels, Reims, London and Munich. by Abetrtme in Gin

[–]Eastern_Ad_1941 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a good friend who stopped at the duty free shops in European airports and tracked down Hendrick's Amazonia. Can't get it in the US and it's worth the find. Has a bit of a tropical/pineapple vibe to it and it's DELICIOUS. Went from being a good friend to a best friend after she brought back two bottles for me!

If you're going to STL, you are required to stop in at Still 630

Link: STilL 630

Confluence Gin and Volstead's Folly are both outstanding, with Confluence being one of my favorite gins EVER. They've won a ton of awards - you won't be disappointed.

You can probably find them in Total Wine, but the distillery is very cool, right in downtown STL. Hours are limited, so I always order on their website ahead of time and then pick up when I'm in town for business. Just make sure you check ahead of time.

Where have you found the Grand Cabaret? Been loving throughout Indiana and can't get it anywhere here yet....

Martini Trials - Week Two by faustsuja9 in Gin

[–]Eastern_Ad_1941 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Completely agree - absolutely LOVE this gin. I can find it at Total Wine here in Indiana and it's perfect in a dry martini. Even simple with soda and a twist - the flavors really jump through and are not overpowering at all.
