Gin and tonic

Now I know this is a little different, but I thought it deserved a mention.

My GF brought it back after one of her business trips and my gosh, it's absolutely gorgeous nectar.



Saffron Gin from France. Very different, but beautiful on a sunny day with a BBQ.

Saw the title of thread and was just about to post the same, as bought a bottle out of curiosity after seeing it in our local offy

It's in his profile.... I'm liking the idea of meat and Malbec too! Shame I moved away from that part of the world to the opposite side.

Gordons Export with Schweppes is the one for me. For work I find myself drinking with guys who can drink me under the table very quickly on pints so after 2 or 3 i switch to GnT and can keep going for ages. Still pi$$ed but no headache. (Kendricks is awful stuff IMO)

Wow.

I can see the flavours of saffron working very well with gin.

Must search out.

If you are in / near the westend i saw this very Gin in the window of the off licence in Dover Street this morning.

It's one of the ones that needs adding to the list - don't panic, we have it!

Picked up a bottle of Hendricks on Saturday (£22 offer at Tesco) and had a couple of absolutely gorgeous G&Ts in the garden. A slice of cucumber and 1 mint leaf, Schweppes and plenty of ice.

Absolutely lovely.

Homemade Rhubarb Gin. Oh yes.

ETA - that is bought gin, with rhubarb steeped in it at home, not something made in a dodgy still in the shed.

Recipe please

Hi there,

Well it seems the popularity of Gin is showing no signs of waning.

Visiting Imbibe, the bar industry show in London last week and seeing the launch of another raft of new gins was enough to make any venues back bar groan.

This one was nice and should give Bombay Sapphire a run for its money given that some of the botanicals are the same.

It was the FIL's birthday at the weekend and my wife got him a bottle of DR. J's Cambridge Gin. It's very nice indeed, quite an interesting array of botanicals. She's going to try and get me a bottle tomorrow but then I picked up a BBR No3 GIN in Waitrose tonight (£5 off) so that is next on my list.
I'd also recommend Edgertons Pink Gin, it's infused with Pomegranate for colour and flavour, it would almost certainly work with grapefruit.

Think I may ahve to try that. Have some rhubarb that looks good in the garden and never really use it.

Bump because today is (apparently) World Gin Day!

So everybody make sure that you have a G&T to celebrate

I was reminded yesterday and promptly forgot but have had 2 already so making up for it. Made some elderflower cordial the other week, I'm tempted to make a gin and elderflower fizz or similar.

Out of respect I have just settled down with a double caorunn gin and tonic, 40/60 mix with ice to the top of the glass and a squeeze and slice of lime. Delicious! http://www.caorunngin.com

Don't forget to keep your gin in the freezer even Gordon's taste the better for it. Concentrates the botanical flavours imo.

Went to a gin festival in Newcastle last night - it was very good. Some very interesting and very strong gins available!
