Totally agree. Some time ago while staying at a rather nice hotel I was served a gin & tonic in a huge balloon glass, which seems to be the current fashion. The barman used about half a pint of ice cubes, no doubt so that the glass didn't appear to be completely empty, then sprinkled dried juniper berries in it. The result was that the ice cubes melted & I ended up with a highly diluted gin & tonic which tasted like slightly tangy water, complete with hard bits that I had to be careful not to swallow. Not only that, but the bucket-sized glass made it difficult to take a sip without the drink dribbling past the corners of my mouth & down my shirt.Beer should taste like beer. Gin should taste like gin. Vodka shouldn't taste like....anything, really. Why go to the trouble of making these drinks if you're going to smother the taste with something else? Makes no sense to me.
