Hendrick99, have you tried your namesake gin?
It's called Hendrick's and it' s made in Scotland. It's known for it's distinct taste of rose petals and cucumber amongst other more typical gin botanicals.

Here's a fantastic recipe that showcases it.

Hot Charlotte
Created by Murray Stenson Seattle, WA
1.5 oz Hendricks gin
.75 oz lemon
.75 oz St Germain
2-5 dashes of tabasco sauce.
Muddled cucumber.

Muddle cucumber, add ingredients, shake hard, strain into a glass of fresh ice. Drink.

I find this cocktail works best when rubbing alcohol is NOT substituted for any of the other ingredients.

Oh dude that is awesome!
Thanks for the heads up.
Gonna see how I taste sometime soon.

There is a premium brand I'm familiar with that I suspect does this. But myself, and most the people I know that are connoisseurs, all think it tastes like cheap garbage. We don't buy it.

The types of people buying that brand all like to show it off, and do so thinking it's a status symbol. Maybe that's who they're targeting in their marketing ploy. It doesn't work on everyone though...

Side note:

There are three vodkas I enjoy. One is a regular cost, a medium cost and a premium cost. I like each three for various reasons. But I'd say the regular cost one is nearly as good as the other two. Not many people drink it however, because it doesn't have pop culture appeal.

shoenice drank a whole bottle and was fine.

if you think this is a joke, then check out his other 350 videos of eating CRAZY stuff, beyond human consumption.

It is all about the money; kind of sad is it not?

I would not be surprised if studies in other states reveal similar results.

Well if the stores at issue are all owned/run by the same franchisee I don't really think TGI Fridays is to blame (automatically). Even if they were run by different folks I don't think you should be blaming corporate. To me that's like blaming QFC (Kroger) for one store having an awful manager that changes the dates on the milk (albeit more serious).

Agreed Domo. My point wasn't that the corporation is, or should be automatically blamed. In fact, my guess is they aren't even involved. I have no problem believing this is at the franchise level. My point is, TGIF has a vested interest in maintaining good public relations, and therefore cannot be objective in an investigation. A conflict of interest, in other words.

Always good to see your posts in a thread. See you around.

I say publish every damn one of them by name, address, and phone number. Why are these criminals being protected?

I believe it is called "innocent until proven guilty" in a court of law.

Agreed. However, if you and I were in business, and had pulled these shenanigans. How long do you think they would keep us anonymous? I'll answer that for you. They wouldn't. I've seen it firsthand. More than once. They are coddling these franchises. Something they would not do for you and I.
