Tournée Minerale? G’vine Floraison!

in drinks •  7 years ago 

Hi guys, in Belgium the governement organizes an alcohol free month every year in February. And a lot of people participate in this. But not me!

I’m a restaurant owner, so if my guests only drink water and coca-cola it’s not really good for business. And since the governement is already killing gastronomy in Belgium, this little extra stunt is just too much. So i’ll drink to that!😉

Today i’m going for a Gin and Tonic. No @smasssh, no Jack and Coke today.

So my Gin for today is a G’vine floraison. A French Gin made with the “Ugni blanc” grape. You have the “Floraison” which means fructification. And you have the “Nouaison” which means flowering. So two different types both made with this “Ugni blanc” grape.

Anyway, i only have the green one today. The Floraison. And i prepare my glass with a lot of ice.

I add about 5 centilitre of Gin and for this one i’m going to use a Fever-Tree elderflower tonic. Which is a sweeter, less bitter Tonic.

Normally i should add some grapes as garnish but i’m hooked on Gin and Tonic but not on grapes. So for me just neat.👍

Well i must say this one just tastes like a good lemonade, a dangerous lemonade that is.

But for me 5⭐️‘s out of 5!

Cheers, you all have a great Tournée minerale!!

One great bunch of hypocrites those politicians. No alcohol, no smoking etc. pffff. And in the end, because less taxes come in, they raise taxes on other products or services to compensate the loss.
My blessings Chef, bottums up!, even with a gin-tonic. CHEERS!

Indeed, that’s true. Hope it’s not the same in Holland...
Cheers!😄

Not (yet) with the alcohol free month. But smoking, yes ofcourse. Last year they even spoke about banning smoking in your own backyard. Those f**kers all major in minor things.

Check this out @smasssh, this guy @greenwhell replies with your reply.🤨That’s a new one...

I've just read it, below I gave him a warning.

it's only waiting for the government says also " no steemit " they make to much money

I also do not participate in that nonsense! Cheers buddy!

For me, as being partly Belgian it is hard to see the government is making it difficult for restaurant owners like you to run your business! Water is for the fishies!

Exactly. Thanks and cheers!😄

Also Belgian, this is like 'dagen zonder vlees', they seem to invent these things all of the time. Next thing it's a whole year without having any fun.

Typing this while I eat a burger and drink a Hoegaarden ;-)

Enjoy that man, cheers!🍺

i like that government , nice to have good neighbors

The governement organizes a month with no alcohol. Not a free alcohol month, that would be nice.😂

Give me call please when that happens, hahaha.

Haha, me too please.😂

oh man , i was reading that wrong . but still i come there(belgium) a lot you are still good neighbors

My blessings Chef, bottums up!, even with a gin-tonic. CHEERS!Yeah he knows what hes doing and his streams are proper so I think he has ways to go with this. All initial hick ups with dlive were sorted quickly on discord and he's got a good thing going. Thanks for telling this story man.

You risk getting a BIG flag with stealing comments from other people. For now we'll let you get away with it, but next time you're "cooked".
