Sipsmiths London Dry Gin, Fever Tree Elderflower Tonic Water, ice and a slice of lime and a slice of orange.

My summer antimalarial medication.

What is the tonic of choice,,ty

I tried Aviation gin once. Apparently it is made by gay monks for gay monks. It's freakin watered down vodka.

I'll stick to my Bombay Sapphire thank you very much.

For a neutral Gin - https://fever-tree.com/en_US/products/elderflower-tonic-water

For gin with more aromatics - https://fever-tree.com/en_US/products/mediterranean-tonic-water

For Hendricks - https://fever-tree.com/en_US/products/refreshing-light-cucumber-tonic-water

There are lots of other quality tonics out there to try but it's a key ingredient so premium is worth the $.

We called Seagrams either "Bump" or or "Pebble". Field hands (black, white, or mexican) came in the store and all they ask for is "Give me a half bump" for a half pint or "give me a some Bump" for a full pint. I never recall any of them buying a quart or a half gallon.

For everyday, Costco cheap stuff is not bad. I have at least a half dozen choices on hand for fancier. A couple AK distilleries, too.

Bombay Sapphire

I love a good G&T on a hot summer day after I've cut my "lawn." Truly refreshing!

I always thought straight gin tastes like celery, but mathman's reference to cucumber may be more accurate. I'll have to reassess.

The cucumber reference was specific to Hendricks.

I did a blind taste test on gin and tonic with schweppes tonic water. I used Bombay Sapphire, Tanguerey, and Beefeater. I was surprised that I liked the Beefeater the best which was the cheapest. Hendricks with Tonic water and a slice or two of cucumber is really a nice summer drink.

Someone recommended Old Raj--infused with Saffron. Not being a connoisseur of gin, didn't really know the difference. I mean, it wasn't bad. I noticed no one recommended it, here, so...

It was recommended i try Plymouth, Navy Strength...might buy a bottle of Beefeaters, also.

Fever Tree is pretty good.

Gin ? Another “you’ll be sorry” drink .
Slow gin , nasty shirt to be puking , you don’t only feel like you’re dieing , you look like you’re dieing
Once upon a time I worked in a factory .
Me and this gal went out for lunch . She got a pint and I got a pint , one mint gin , one slow gin .
She putzed out after a couple drinks and went back in before back to work horn went off .
Well WTH ? I drank them both , got back in there in the heat and shirt hit me hard . Bathrooms were elevated islands throughout the plant .
I go in the shutter and have set down trying to recoup .
Wrong song ding dong .
Woke up and it was quiet as a Monday morning church .
Holy shirt ! Dashed out the door , not a soul in sight .
Beat feet to checkout clock , no idea what time it is and there was the last three guys checking out .
Man was that luck .
Gal asked me were I got too , we had a good laugh , she said foreman kept coming by wanting to know were I was , she kept telling him B.S. about me going to different departments for parts .
Dam close

Sloe gin and gin are different critters fwiw

That’s what I love about gin that I have not experienced with anything else. I can drink a fifth a day on ice and tonic sweating my ass off as the day goes cutting firewood or whatever. A good big swig of pickle juice before bed and I’m right as rain next day. Claws come close, but not as friendly.

A good g&t tastes like you just sipped on a juniper. No citrus, no ridiculous herbalness, Cucumbers and pumpkin spice etc.

It's one of the best in my opinion

I've tried all sorts of boutique Gins and not found a single one I like.

Plymouth, Beefeater, Costco house brand, Sapphire

In that order

Gruff , you may be right , can’t say I’ve had this gin you speak of .
Maybe I’ll give it a spin sometime.
Right now , got plenty of peach and pear .
No need to change up right now .
