Gin

Tonight I made meself a G and T. I had some Beefeater London Dry but just not enough to top off a tall one. I added some Saph to it and OMG it sucked! Anyone else mix Gins before with this problem. I can wait to get into the Van Gogh Gin I have. Still one of the best Gins of all time.

I sometimes use Beefeaters, but usually it's just Tanquerey and tonic; never branched out into any other gins, but I may have to give that Van Gogh a try if its anything special

There is no better summer drink than a well mixed G and T with lime.

I'm not a gin drinker but the wife's family and the wife is ..... Van Gogh is good .... Hendricks is pretty good ..... Tangueray 10 is great .... if you can find it Magellan is pretty tasty for the coin and a nice tasting cheap gin is New Amsterdam

I always hated gin until lately. Now it's one of my favorite liquors. I'm big on Sapphire. Never tried mixing any gins together though so no input there. Always been a big fan of dirty martinis. About 9 months ago a bartender asked if I wanted it with vodka or gin. I'd never tried with gin. Been hooked ever since.

Sapphire is good, but once you get a good palate for gin--------its Hendricks or nothing.

Tanquery man, here. Haven't found anything else that matches it.

Next time you're mixing Gin and muddled cucumber, skip the simple syrup and use St. Germain in its place. It's an elderflower liqueur and is REALLY good in that application.
