Martha Stewart, 83, reveals why she NEVER drinks gin
Martha Stewart has revealed why she avoids drinking gin completely, admitting she hasn’t tasted the spirit in decades.
The housekeeper, 83, explained that her aversion to the drink all stems from her time at university.
Stewart attended Barnard College at Columbia University in Manhattan, graduating from the esteemed institution in 1962.
“I got so drunk on gin in college that I’ve never had gin since,” Stewart said Wednesday at Food Network’s New York City Wine & Food Festival, which was captured by DailyMail.com.
But since her boyfriend Snoop Dogg, who was also at the event, was accompanied by Dr. Dre launches his own GIN spirit, Stewart may have to give the drink another try.

But even though she’s not a big fan of gin, Stewart has a few drinks she does enjoy; after all, she is widely considered the queen of hosting.
During a 2017 interview with Thrillistthe founder of Martha Stewart CBD revealed that her favorite cocktail is a Caipirinha, a Brazilian cocktail containing cachaça, lime, sugar and ice.
She also admitted that she makes both a great martini and a bourbon sour, but definitely prefers wine.
Stewart told the outlet that she sometimes even mixes wine into her cocktails.
‘You can make a sparkling wine spritzer from it, which I really like. You can take a sparkling wine and make a lovely sparkling Aperol drink with it,” she said at the time.
‘Take a little rosé or a nice Moscato and put a little bit of Aperol in it with a big slice of orange. Why not? It’s not like putting it in a $150 bottle of champagne,” the star continued.
And as a bonus tip, the former Sports Illustrated model suggested greeting your guests with a drink when you’re entertaining people at your home.

Her admission about gin comes after she revealed it was ‘very easy’ to keep her cheating secret from ex Andrew Stewart, who she divorced in 1987.
“I often make a special cocktail and everyone gets the same drink,” she told Thrillist.
“Or I just open a really nice ice-cold rosé and let them eat it with some really nice cheese and wait until the food is ready.”
