Am I overreacting?
Hi gin people, I am *not* a gin person but hoping you can help me translate something a little deeper than gin.
Last night I hosted drinks for a small party, making a few themed cocktails. I was talking while I was prepping and one of the attendees- a friend of a friend- asked me what kind of gin I had. I had Brokers, and mentioned that I bought it because I don't usually drink gin so it seemed like a solid option that would do just fine for my purposes. Homegirl said it wasn't bad, "a little better than Beefeater," but later made a few offhanded comments about things she would do/have differently if she were hosting people in her home for cocktails.
Reddit, I'm trying to figure out if I should up my game and am actually not a great host or if this girl was unfounded and trying to pick a fight with me. Did I unknowingly serve these people the equivalent of watermelon Smirnoff?? It was a mixed drink and I wasn't claiming it was anything spectacular. Please give me the gin context I need here to know if I need to watch my back around this friend, haha!
