We use fresh picked Juniper Berries along with CB Brandy and additional spices to marinate a lamb roast for 48 hours - then onto the rotisserie - best roast I have ever eaten.

Juniper is fine if you like the taste of gin. I'm not really a fan of
juniper. Seems like it might be a bit overwhelming for lamb. But hey,
as long as you liked it.

I like gin so it sounds good to me. I'd take a bit to try it.

They planted a bunch of juniper bushes as a wind block at our local
leash free dog park. I have to say that I am impress with the bounteous
crop of berries those things produce and attribute it to frquent daily
watering with dog urine. Those bushes are much more productive than
the junipers I have at the front of the house. Proximity to the road
makes it difficult for me to use the human equivalent nutrition.

Why do people always say, "juniper berries taste like gin?". It
should be, "Gin tastes like juniper berries".

Because more people have tasted gin than have tasted juniper berries.

Touche' :-) I didn't see that coming.

It was 20 years between my first tasting gin, and then juniper
berries.

I tried gin (straight) once in 1971. Tasted like what
insecticide might taste like. Never had any since.

I have some "Hickory Juniper Bacon."
Doesn't sound appealing to me but I've had it
before and it's good. Tastes like bacon.

My grandmother occasionally drank gin and Squirt, so I had ample
opportunity to taste it when I was young.

Hot sake tastes like I imagine hot paint thinner would.

Straight gin, especially cheap stuff can be nasty. I drink it with
tonic water and good amount of ice.

My favorite is Hendricks but there are many others I could enjoy.

Straight gin can also be very tasty.
I can't believe I have made it this far into a hot summer without yet
having a gin and tonic.

I usually get Bombay Blue Sapphire.

Just like bacon? No foam suppressant?

But you don't like wine, so maybe you're not a good judge of alcoholic
drinks.

Tried sake once long ago. Not so good.

We were high school seniors just drinking anything we could
get our hands on. I do remember it was Gordon's gin.

Even though they advertise how good and old school it is, I've
heard that it's bottom shelf and not good.

I remember taking one drink and it was awful. I even asked
the girl, "How can you drink that?"

I once watched a program about gin. The takeaway was that there are 2
types. Real traditional gin and cheap imitation. Cheap imitation is
sold the most. The price is a guideline, but not absolute.
