Best ever GIN!

[PavlovaFaith]

Okay so I love gin.

LOVE IT.

But I'm fairly new to loving gin... probably the last couple of years.

I'm in search of something gorgeous that I can ask the DH to buy for birthday/Christmas.

Basically like a "signature scent", I'm in search of my signature gin.

What are your best ever suggestions please? AND bonus points for whichever garnish works best with it. I had a King of Soho with grapefruit the other night delicious!

Manchester zymurgorium with pepper and strawberries as a garnish.

Brockmams with bluberries and grapefruit slices

Hendricks with fever tree tonic is my favourite

I love gin. I loved gin before it was fashionable to love gin. I’ve tried 100s of gins but I always come back to Bombay Saphire, loads of ice and lime. I just don’t think you can beat it.

Chapel Down Gin with Double Dutch tonic.

Oh I forgot the fever tree tonic!

Silent Pool with elderflower tonic

Gin Mare with Thomas Henry cherry tonic, garnished with lime, and fresh mint.

Download the Ginventory app. It will guide you on what garnish works best with different gins.

The Botanist. And Fentimans tonic, with everything.

There’s no way I could recommend a particular one as each gin has different botanicals so you may prefer a more floral, dry or spicier gin.

To find your ‘signature’ gin, I’d recommend asking your DH for a subscription to Craft Gin Club then you can try them yourself to find it

Monkey 47, Alkkemist and Silent Pool are my favourites.

I second either Craft Gin Club, or a selection of miniatures/night at a gin bar to work out what you like.

Tappers Spring Fever. If you can find it...

Masons tea edition. Wasn't expecting to like it, but it's beautiful.

Bombay sapphire is an old classic but current favourite is brockmans

Hepple Gin. With a plain tonic

Brooklyn, the Botanist and Silent Pool are my top 3 (with Fever Tree!)

@OnceUponATimeInAmerica wow a gin app! Bear with...

@Botanicbaby a club of gin! Where do I sign?

Ungava, lots of crushed ice and a simple tonic.

Silent pool, tonic and an orange peel twirl

Caorunn or my latest fav Hills & Harbour. Or my homemade sloe gin (Aldi gin and sloes from my garden) but that’s all mine

At the moment my favorite is Gin Mare with Fever Tree Mediterranean tonic. Close runner is Gunpowder Irish Gin with Full Fat Fever Tree. Both are relatively dry.

For a sweeter one Slingsby is lovely.

What do you like so far OP?
