Drink of the Day: Sippin' on "Better" Gin and Juice

Behind the Burner: Drink of the Day: Sippin\' on \

On many a night, the evening starts out with a quip to the bartender "I'd love a gin and tonic, extra lime". When responded with "what kind of gin" I'm always a bit baffled. There's the usual Hendricks or the less often queried Tanqueray, but I usually don't deviate. Now I have a reason to; Damrak Premium Distilled Amsterdam Original Gin is dry and delightful, two d's I don't mind having in my drink. Rather than tasting as if I just shaved a pine tree into my glass, Damrak has hints of citrus, including orange and lemon peel, as well as a little cinnamon. The rest, they say, is the distillers little secret. Besides the usual gin and tonic, I'd suggest trying this rather refreshing twist with the Fleet Week by our CEO Divya Gugnani. Sip this one slowly and enjoy some dining al fresco, happy summer!

Today I walked into my local convenient store to buy a Monster and when i went to the get it i saw a little bottle of something called "Sippin Syrup" or on the lines of that. It was a dark bottle that looked just like syrup. It said "Relaxation" on the bottle and interested me. What is it? What does it do? Are there any harmful side effects it can cause on kids/teens? Does it taste bad?
