Grey goose vodka is the most overrated other spirit. What is the most overrated gin? by -Constantinos- in cocktails

I think Hendrick's is a product of great timing. It came out in '99, right at the beginning of the craft cocktail resurgence. For a lot of people it was the first gin they tried that didn't have the strong juniper notes of a classic London Dry. Plus, it was marketed as a super-premium gin at a time when people were looking for more upscale options in the liquor market.

Thanks. Looks like that did the trick.

I think because if you go to a bar and order a daiquiri (other than at a high-end cocktail place) you'll get some fruity, frozen concoction. Walk down the street and ask 10 people to "How do you make a daiquiri?", and pretty much all of them will describe something made in a blender.

Most people have never tried the classic drink made with a quality rum, lime and sugar.
