@@grantmurdock7385 Are you a Gin drinker otherwise? My sister has about 40 different Gins in her home bar, a friend works at a very fancy hotel in Cologne and gave us his mix list (Which Gin goes with which tonic and condiment), I agree that Aviation does not smell too nice, but in the right pairing, it can absolutely be part of a delicious mixed drink. And to be fair who has ever bought a bottle of Gin to drink it straight.
I happened to be at the Royal Oak when this was filmed and so James ended up kindly giving us that very drink for free, and I have to say it was very enjoyable, cheers James 👍
The serrated knife cutting the cucumber made a noise similar to a pencil running up and down the spine of a spiral-bound notebook used by adolescents to strum the rhythm of Glinka’s Ruslan and Ludmila.
Just opened my Asian Parsnip Gin. It's fantastic. I taste most of the stuff especially the cardamom. I've always had lime in my G&T until I lived in the UK (wish I were back). The Black Bird in Croughton got me hooked on Hendricks with cucumber. If I have a G&T now, it's the only way. Gonna try it with James' gin today. I have both Hendricks and James, maybe a side-by-side.
I probably won't know what competition this is for until a couple of years from now, but I *must* make certain that James wins with the greatest number of views!
I prefer adding the ice last. This way, the drink mixes itself as you pour the ingredients into the glass. With ice present, that mixing can't take place.
If you guys serve G&Ts in glasses like that, I'll definitely stop by the pub for a drink. Also the branding is very similar to Yogscast gins - must be the same distillery.
I approve of the glass - G&T has always been a 'long' drink, no idea why people started serving it in goldfish bowls on stems. However, I abhor the cucumber! I've been drinking G&T for longer than I care to remember and am heartily sick of now having to specify when I order that I don't want it served with assorted vegetables, a fruit salad or half a shrubbery!
Yes! A G&T is a tall drink, I'll accept a slice of lemon to amp up the citrus and maybe a couple ice cubes if I'm in the sun but it's a simple, refreshing drink. If you want your gin in a martini glass, order a damn martini (which I do, not a fan of tonic)
That's the Spanish who started that trend. I was there in 2015 (Zaragoza) for a couple of months. Goddamn do they love the G&T, as well as making all manner of variation of it with different spices and fruits and whatnot (I adore this type of adventerous entrepreneurial experimentation, so even if 9 out of 10 such concoctions are shit I still say it's good that they're doing them because you then find that 1 in 10 that's amazing). What's hilarious in comparison is the complete lack of martinis in every Spanish bar or even the knowledge of their existence. Ask for a "martini" and you will get, I'm not kidding you, some Martini (brand) vermouth on the rocks in a lowball glass.
Alright, I've just ordered a bottle of the Navy Strength stuff, we'll see how this goes. So you recommend using, specifically, a cucumber in a G&T with it then? Would you use it for a martini and, if so, what would you use for garnish (same thing, I suppose: cucumber)?
Mr. Spaniel. I wish trere was a podcast that's not focused on a specific topic, rather a bit of all round tomfoolery, cause surprisingly, it's not about the tone or the voice of mr. May, but rather the conversation itself, cause more often than not, his asking and answering aligns to the content of a proper conversation with two people. Very lovely to listen to, while idling in the car, or generally idling.
awww, you're not shipping to south africa. bad news bears for me i guess. will have to ask a friend in the UK to buy it and then ship it to me, guess that works too. thanks Bim
lovely video, however the G and T in Gin and Tonic made me think of something else with those initials..... what could it be.... oh I know! Galapagos Tortoise! that's it!
He made his return when the world needed him the most
69th like
89thhh
Happy to help.
LMAO he dumped the Ryan Reynold gin in the bin, what a king
He *did* finish it though, Classic James May, wouldn’t waste a good gin even if it’s his competitor’s
That's about where it belongs. I swear, it's like someone cut down decent gin with some vodka because they didn't like gin or something.
Good company for green lantern.
@@battleempoleon3714 nice of u to notice as well

Wow! That's an indirect kiss 😘
Do you mean the drink he already took a sip off?
@@JimboRustles yeah, I trust that James didn’t have any germs, besides it’s not like I was gonna turn it down lol
Are you driving slower now? How is your sense of direction?
@@aerogfs I hadn’t noticed anything though I have developed a new inexplicable appreciation for the Dacia Sandero…
Yearly dose of James May content
best reason to look forward to each new year
Alas, the drunken sailor is back.
Thank you James, I will now drink my sorrows away
I absolutely died when the ice didn't make the cracking sound
I died when I heard the cricket sounds instead
It's a good thing that bit about his prediction was edited out.
The return of the King
Oh yeah
I opened TH-cam just in time
I admire a completely random amount of gin.
JAMES! I bought some of your gin and I'm saving it to share with my uncle. He's a gin fanatic!
Asian Parsnip is now my favourite nickname for James.
A video so good yet so simple. That’s the magic of James May’s TH-cam Channel, sometimes the best things are the simplest things.
The serrated knife cutting the cucumber made a noise similar to a pencil running up and down the spine of a spiral-bound notebook used by adolescents to strum the rhythm of Glinka’s Ruslan and Ludmila.
Great you see you back!
Ya sé que tomaremos este fin de semana. Gracias James por mostrarnos el camino.
More of these please Dr. May

I literally looked at this channel yesterday to see when the last upload was. Good timing.
More James May please!!
Cheers for the video! Really needed some JM. Lush to see the quality is still in good nick.
Aviation gin is made by Ryan Reynolds company and you literally trashed it hahahaha love it!
Really like the visual quality improvement, James!
An argument just broken out in the kitchen but don't worry about that.
- James May.
It certainly is the smoothest gin I've ever tried and doesn't have that hellfire burn going down. Well done James! 🍸
This seems very smooth!
The Parsnip Informs The Flavour Of The Gin.
Good to see you again, you gent!
Wonderful Gin and Tonic James!
I can't quite pinpoint the exact moment in time where James May morphed in to billy connolly
G&T a classic cheers folks
The legend is back
I've never tried a Gin & Tonic but I will now, thank you James
A bloody national treasure. James may the hero we all need in our lives
I probably won't know what competition this is for until a couple of years from now, but I *must* make certain that James wins with the greatest number of views!
Smoothest commercial ever.. plus it's 5 o'clock somewhere. Cheers
lmfao the dunk on ryan reynolds was amazing, I really hope there ends up being a lil video series back and forth between them on youtube
Ayo! The man, the myth, the legend is back!

Bim and Tonic.
Love you James 😍😍😍
Love this channel
A proper glass of Bim Gin.
Thank you for including the title of the poem, missed your unemployment videos!
James’ hair is looking extra floofy.
Chris sounds like tony green off of bullseye
James, there is still a bit of sticker on the cucumber.
Such a comeback, from train assembly to cocktails
i would never expected to receve a notificafion in this channel lmao
I want one day to visit James’ pub.
If you guys serve G&Ts in glasses like that, I'll definitely stop by the pub for a drink.
Also the branding is very similar to Yogscast gins - must be the same distillery.
Why does it matter? I guarantee it will taste the same regardless of the glass, as long as the exact same ingredients and measurements are used.
Hmm... What is the James May version of Brewis Ginley?
I approve of the glass - G&T has always been a 'long' drink, no idea why people started serving it in goldfish bowls on stems.

I couldn't care less what glass is used, as long as it tastes good.

Thanks for remembering your password James.
everyday James may is looking more and more like Brian may
once in a year this channel uploads
Meanwhile in the kitchen: "HAMMOND YOU BLOODY IDIOT YOU BURNT THE STEAK! YOU HAVE LITERALLY CREAMTED IT!"
RIP FoodTribe
James looks like he went through rehab

Good buy!
Best served while riding in a Toyota Hilux going through the arctic circle.
Great video.
0:08 GIN
YOU'VE RETURNED TO ME JAMES. Only for an #ad
can't wait until you expand delivery to europe too :)
Are you still unemployed?!

I wonder what show this is going to be integrated with.
Well well, if it isn't Bim
Jeremy is making beer, James is making gin, what about Richard? Toothpaste? ;)
Teeth whitening
I love TGT, but this is great too. Good to know that when TGT ends, we'll get more of JM's unemployment tube
HOLY ÉSSE, his unemployment tube is alive again !!!
I totally forgot I was subbed to this channel
Happy I clicked to watch lol
Is "Asian Parsnip" a euphemism ?
I really miss this grumpy man
the blue light is INTENSE gotta diffuse it or turn it down mate
How did Cap'n Slow know about my crippling gin addiction??
Someone's looking very employed
Never tried cucumber in gin and tonic, might try it
James Gin
Hey Bim - can you get this in Canada now?
You could also try selling this with the tagline.. "makes everything seem less sh!t and tastes good too!"
No shipping to Netherlands?
Not on the Foodtribe channel?
The real question is, does this pub serve Hawkstone lager?
Oh wow
We need more JM unemployment tube
James May has to make more drinky videos!!!!!

Okay, I bought one.
Hi James! How have you been?
He's back!
But, what happened to FoodTribe?
awww, you're not shipping to south africa. bad news bears for me i guess. will have to ask a friend in the UK to buy it and then ship it to me, guess that works too. thanks Bim
The cucumber still had the plastic on it 😅
when will it be in Canada? your gin
For a nasty moment I thought you were unemployed again. Nice gin.
Did you fire yourself as owner of that far too shiny establishment?
lovely video, however the G and T in Gin and Tonic made me think of something else with those initials..... what could it be.... oh I know! Galapagos Tortoise! that's it!
