Lets Talk Gin Gents.

My poison is Hendricks ( best served with cucumber instead of citrus ) or Tanqueray ( the normal stuff ) with lotsa fresh lime.

Your poison?

Probably one of the nicest alcohol bottles around too.

Agreed Josh, always hated it since I got drunk of some pretty nasty gin in Africa as a teenanger. Still love me a Gin and tonic every once in a while though!

It's an acquired taste for sure.

But there is nothing better than a gin&tonic on a hot summer day.

Try a Hendricks/ cucumber and Tonic next summer Josh. Perfect ratio should be 1 part gin to 1 part tonic with couple slices cucumber.

I'm partial to a G&T and Bombay Saphire is my choice but I'm willing to try Hendrick's.

I agree that Hendrick's does have a wonderful bottle.

Bombay Sapphire on ice with a half a lime squeezed in.

Tagueray no. 10 dry martini (very very dry) with 2 olives.

G&T with regular Tangueray.

I love gin, it's my go to liquor, along with a neat Scotch.

I am a gin fan, Bombay/Tanqueray/Beefeater as the main stables also I don't mind the Saffron gin every now and again.

One of my favourite gin cocktail is the French 75 and worth a try if you never had it

Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 oz Gin
- 2 oz Lemon Juice
- Champagne
- 1 or 2 tsp Superfine Sugar
- Garnish: Cherry

Mix all ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice except champagne. Strain into a champagne flute (or collins glass). Top with champagne. Garnish with cherry.
