I know we have had gin topics before but I’m always up for learning about different types.
What’s your favourite gin and what do you like with it?
I’m currently drinking tanqueray number 10 with Schweppes tonic (I prefer it to fever tree and the like) and yes I know it’s early, but it’s the weekend
I started my gin journey with flavoured gin and lemonade but now I prefer plain.
My favourite gin is perfume trees gin from Hong Kong, it’s ridiculously expensive (for how quickly I drink it) but I was lucky enough to get a bottle in the gin club and it’s on my birthday wish list. |

Like you I started with sweet gin. I now like Tarquins Cornish gin with lemonade. Slice of lime or lemon. So refreshing.
I also really enjoy a more botanical peppery flavour or a Ophir gin again lemonade tonic has too much of a bitter taste for me. |

Another Tanquaray and Elderflower fan here. Only thing with Gin for me is if I have too much the hangover is like no other. So I tend to stick to it early on in an evening especially outdoors lush.
I have been making my own Cordial to varying degrees of success as have a lot of Elder in the paddock. |

"I like jawbox shortcross or dingle gin all Irish so I’m not sure on how popular they are elsewhere I always drink with lemonade and a slice of lemon I don’t like tonic at all  "
Never heard of either of those. I was taught to have tonic and now I can’t stand lemonade |

I tried it with tonic and thought it was the gin I didn’t like  |

I’ve just returned from Cornwall and didn’t like Tarquins I tried all of them -of course but none of them did it for me. Loved the blue angel rock gin though that was amazing |

"Rhubarb and Ginger with ginger ale 
This. But I do like Hendricks with normal Indian tonic and cucumber, or Tanquaray with elderflower cordial and tonic "
I don’t do cucumber but I’m sure I’ll have a gin with you Monday |

"Rhubarb and Ginger with ginger ale
Whitley Neil rhubarb and ginger started off my gin journey "
Try it with cranberry juice instead of ginger ale aswell - dangerously easy to drink  but just think of all the Vit C you must get |

I’m ok if I don’t mix it. My worse hangover was after lilly white brought a bottle of bramble gin to mine and we had it with Prosecco. I thought I had died the next day |

"Ohhh I get the gin club every three months too. I liked the perfume trees one but I prefer less floral ones. Loving the Amazonia in this months "
I actually have some of that one left which is rare but really enjoyed the cocktail suggestion this month |

Favourite is Martin Miller, schweppes tonic and slice of lemon.
Go to is Bombay with anything! Cold brewed tea in lemonade, tonic, plain lemonade... add lemon, lime, raspberries. It's a great base gin. |

Have you tried Drumshanbo Gunpowder gin? Another Irish beaut. Good with lemon & cardamom, maybe pepper.
My favourite is Faith & Sons pineapple - only gin I'll happily drink neat. Forest Gin is great, too - they make it with locally foraged berries & aromatics, comes in a lovely earthenware bottle. They do an Earl Grey edition too. |

4 Pillars Bloody Shiraz is good - can be sipped neat. Currently drinking Jaffa Cake Gin. Mason’s Tea Gin is very nice even though tea makes me  . I also like sea gin. I have a large collection with many unopened bottles & this needs to be rectified

I love all kinds of flavours of gin. Up until a few weeks ago I'd never had just a normal gin & tonic with cucumber (always thought it was a bit posh) but Wow it was yummy and the cucumber definitely takes it to another level  |

You can get cucumber gin - 1st drink is strange but you get used to it |

"My favourite Gin is most definitely whiskey "
I bought you a really good whiskey for your birthday. It tasted rancid but I drank it out of principle and diluted it with Diet Coke
So back to gin |
