Just went to the local discount lickie to do a homework project. Items imported from other countries. Teacher suggested WalMart, Walgreens, Dollar Store where everything is from China. While checking “what” came from “where” I noticed in the gin aisle between my favorite Gilbey’s and “I’ll have to take out a small personal loan” Bombay Sapphire was a beautiful bottle of New Amsterdam for $19. After checking to make sure it wasn’t a wrong price, I bought it and am enjoying a very fruity G&T. Guess it pays to shop instead of just buying the usual.

I just had New Amsterdam gin in a gin cocktail made with gin, St. Germain, and tonic; was looking for more information on New Amsterdam gin (silly me, thought it was a craft NY state gin; guess I have to look elsewhere in NY for that). Interesting concoction for a person whose idea of heaven in a G&T is Bombay Sapphire … a little sweet for my taste, but that may have been the contribution of the elder flower.

At a recent party, I was served a wonderful coctail- A Sparkletini– using this Gin and it was fabulous. I loved it! I now use it in my G&T with a little Roses Lime. Wonderful!

I have to say I was hooked on sapphire for years, but tried on a recommendation. I didn’t really like it that much in my first martini. I like them pretty dry and dirty. It was really citrus heavy. But much to my surprise the second time I made one I really liked it. I been making it a regular for my Martina’s for the past year and a half at least.

Thanks for the comment. I have to admit that New Amsterdam has grown on me a bit. That post is the most popular on the blog.

I honestly can’t remember. It’s been awhile. It was an online vendor though. There are plenty out there offering it for around $25.00 US.

I was looking for a cheap Gin that was drinkable. I love gin and my favorites are Sapphire for it harsher juniper flavor and Hendricks for it smoothness. As I type this I am sipping a Martini with New Amsterdam Gin. I like the citrus note to it and find it very refreshing. It is smooth and easy on the pallet. I even think it is fine with an olive garnish. It definitely not Sapphire or Hendricks but I would not turn down any drink made with the New Amsterdam. I think it would make a heck or a Bramble and is at home as a martini or in a gin and tonic. It has definitely earned a spot in the liqueur cabinet. Not the perfect Gin but for the money not bad.
