## Resource

In this Navy Strength conversation with Bobby Freeman ( @nononsensegin ), creator of the hit YouTube Channel, No Nonsense Gin Drinking , some of the topics we discuss include: Bobby's journey through gin, beginning with the gin & tonic that launched his obsession and all of the stylistic preferences and affinities he's developed along the way A discussion of recent gin trends in the UK, including the "Pink Gin Bubble" that occurred during COVID and the current obsession with citrus-heavy gins. We also cover the popular cocktail trends that are dominant right now in the London bar world, including Pisco & whiskey sours, porn star martinis, and brambles. And of course, this wouldn't be a true gin nerd conversation if we didn't take the opportunity to sample some of our personal favorite gins featuring outlandish botanicals, like oyster shells, elephant dung, ants, and prickly pear cactus. Along the way, we discuss why Bobby gets a little nervous when ordering a Mojito, which South American country has suspiciously good deals on distilled spirits, the gin with a flavor profile that can only be described as "pure fart," And much, much more.
