Gin and tonic ? Gin and orange juice ? What are your preferences ?

[WildRosie]

I usually go for simple Schweppes tonic water as a mixer but good quality orange juice or a mix of orange and pineapple juice goes very well with a slug of gin, especially after a warm day. What does everyone else like with gin, apart from more gin ?

BTW, Tanqueray is my go-to these days, particularly as it's £20 a litre in Sainsbury's just now. But, this is about the gin accompaniments 🙂.

Tanqueray and Fever Tree Indian tonic, ice and a slab on fresh lime.

Sloe gin and bitter lemon.

As a gin and orange/pineapple afficianado, I'm clearly outnumbered. Yet vodka and orange, aka screwdriver, remains popular.

I get Waitrose essential tonic in cans because it's cheaper than fever tree and no sweeteners

I'm not particularly fussy about gin as long as it's not elderflower or strawberry. I get whatevers on offer at the drop store, but I've also got this on its way to me right now

I also like some gin with lemonade, such as the wolf? lemon one, thats one of the rare ones I don't like with tonic.

Lidl sometimes do a bitter orange pop that's really good with gin, or sometimes I have a mix of orange juice and tonic or soda.

Adding bitter lemon to the supermarket list! That sounds scrummy

Sloe gin and bitter lemon is incredible (and turns a lovely colour). So fruity.
My latest fave is Bloom passionfruit and vanilla gin with tonic and fresh passionfruit spooned in the top. Yum!

Cawston Press fizzy rhubarb…

Gin and Fanta lemon

Gin and ginger ale is very nice.

Gin and Roses lime cordial is a lovely summer classic too.

Cider. Sorry

Gin and ginger ale is my favourite - particularly a spiced gin like Ophir...

Ginger beer or lemonade

Ooh Tanqueray gin, Fever Tree tonic, slice of lime and a sprig of rosemary.

Gin and lilt is nice too. Necessity is the mother of invention and all that.

I didn't mean gin and mango juice OP, gin and tonic with smashed up mango and a twist of ground black pepper like this www.sprinklesandsprouts.com/mango-and-black-pepper-gin-tonic/

G&T! But limited as I'm losing weight, so only one then switch to Gin & Soda. Add ins depend on the gin I'm drinking, my favourites include,

• Classic lemon or lime wedge or slice of orange
• Slice of cucumber and lemongrass
• Orange, nutmeg and cinnamon stick
• Sprig of rosemary and lemon slice
• Lemon slice, thyme and juniper berries
• Strawberries and Black Pepper
• Fresh cherries and lime

I'm a total gin snob/lover, excited to find some new ideas.

Gin and fentimans ginger beer

I’m with you on the juice, except my choice is gin and grapefruit juice (I’ve not really got a sweet tooth). It’s delicious

I love just a standard gin and tonic with a slice of lemon or lime in it. The elderflower tonic from Fever Tree or Aldi is also really nice.

I agree that flavoured gin needs plain tonic with it. I had a rhubarb gin with tonic and a thin slice of fresh ginger in it the other day.....was divine!

I agree you can’t beat a proper dry London ( Beefeater for me)gin and Schweppes tonic with ice and a slice.
I’m not a fan of flavoured gin.
I was drinking gin long before it became fashionable

Always with lemonade, I just can’t get on with tonic.

I love a good fruity gin with lemonade, something like orange gin with lemonade is very refreshing in summer. It makes me think of calypso ice pops! In winter a nice heavy mulberry or damson gin goes nicely with a lemonade for a little bit of a rounder flavour.

Try a Cubata.
Gin, ice, lime juice and cola, and a slice of lime.

Gin and Fanta lemon

I got exceptionally drunk on a boat in Menorca on gin and Fanta lemon.... fab memories

Pink lemonade, cloudy lemonade or cream soda. Gin & cream soda tastes EXACTLY like an ice cream float.

My favourite is Tanqueray with Fevertree tonic (usually the light) and a wedge of pink grapefruit.
