I paced the isles up and down until a tallish, squarish, greenish and overall sexy looking bottle of <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.newamsterdamspirits.com\/gin\" target=\"_blank\">New Amsterdam Gin<\/a> caught my eye. The simple yet eloquent label at the bottom read &#8220;No. 485 Premium Extra Smooth Gin.&#8221; At $22.99 for a 1.75L, how could I go wrong?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now on the back label there&#8217;s this whole story about New York originally being called New Amsterdam and yada, yada, yada I don&#8217;t give enough of a shit to play Carmen San Diego and find out the history of New Amsterdam and explain it to you. You should have paid attention in history class like I did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite its humble price, New Amsterdam lives up to its fancy bottle&#8217;s expectations. The smell is actually quite pleasant and the taste is even better. It actually tastes like a toned-down version of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tanqueray.com\/en-us\/Jumppage.htm?me=0e5xx0actzvictesvmks2i45\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tanqueray<\/a> Rangpur. And by toned-down I mean it doesn&#8217;t overpower you with the lime flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I decided to test New Amsterdam&#8217;s mettle with the tried and true Snoop Dogg test. That&#8217;s rizzight bitches. Gin and juice. In true gangsta&#8217; fashion I mixed New Amsterdam up in a red Solo cup with half gin and half generic brand pineapple juice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner. I will take the Pepsi challenge with New Amsterdam against Tanqueray Rangpur any day of the week. It&#8217;s smoother, better tasting, cheaper, and will make you look like a baller any time you roll up to a party and whip this Stoic looking bottle out of any brown paper sack.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So on my last trip to my neighborhood liquor store, I was undecided as to what I was going to drink whilst watching Tim Tebow and Florida exact their revenge on Georgia and Knowshawn Moreno.
