So now what??.... I like gin?

  A couple of weeks ago, my friend Michelle made a statement which was so crazy (at least in my mind) that it has haunted me ever since.  She said, "You may grow to like beer over time."  This may have been a truthful enough statement for some.  But, let's face it, I am forty.  I have been drinking alcohol for a while now.  I have not like beer yet (and I have tried plenty).  I don't want to say I will never like beer.  But what are the chances?  Unless this love of beer turns out to be part of a painfully slow learning curve, it's not  happening.
   Now, Michelle is a fan of gin.  Generally speaking, my tipple of choice is vodka.  But on a whim, I chose to make a cocktail with gin for a game night that I hosted at my house.  I made pomegranate gimlets.  They were very tasty.  They would have been even better, I'm sure, if I had use fresh pomegranate juice like the recipe required.  Who has time for that?  If I was so lucky to have a fully stocked bar that might have happened.  Maybe.  But unfortunatly, I don't.  I also don't have minions at my beck and call to take care of all of my juicing needs. So there you are.
   What I learned from this great gin experiment, is that I may like it.  So maybe Michelle is partially correct.  Clearly my tastes are changing.  I may begin to like different alcoholic beverages.  I may like gin now.  But beer.... I don't think so.... just sayin.
