allalonenow get mixing, I am heading over! Sounds divine!

ginmakesitallok · 09/06/2013 19:29

You can get Fever tree in Sainsburys. To be honest I think Schweppes is just as good - Shock at slimline though - horrible stuff. Yes to cucumber though, and hendricks

AtYourCervix · 09/06/2013 19:32

Elderflower might be nice.

And blackcurrents. Or raspberries.

Next time i'll try fruit.

Gin
slimline tonic
LIME!!!! always lime-I am most peeved when pubs serve it with lemon!!

MrsBertMacklin · 09/06/2013 19:33

Can you really taste the difference between Fevertree/Fentimans and the more generic brands? It's so expensive! Will give it a whirl if there's a distinctive difference.

MardyBra · 09/06/2013 19:33

Bombay Sapphire or Hendricks
FeverTree (the one that is "naturally low in calories")
Lime
Ice

Am drinking pimms. Now I want gin. Currently fave is with tonic, lots of ice, a dash of elderflower (if its sunny) and lemon. But if its not sunny, no elderflower and cucumber instead. I never really thought cucumber would make much difference but it really does. Gordon's as that's what local shop sells, but do quite like Bombay sapphire & want to try more but can't afford it..

EndoplasmicReticulum · 09/06/2013 19:34

Proper Schweppes tonic (not Slimline, it's bleurgh)
Have not tried posh tonic, would rather spend more money on the gin.
Lime is nicer than lemon but lemon will do if that's all there is.

SPsCliffingAllOverMN · 09/06/2013 19:34

Vodka and Irn Bru is my drink of choice lately

MortifiedAdams · 09/06/2013 19:34

Oooh lavender?

poshme · 09/06/2013 19:35

Might try it with blackcurrants. I love blackcurrants (but hate ribena or blackcurrant flavoured anything)
I put blackcurrants in pimms.
(Incidentally, my phone doesn't believe blackcurrants is a word)

Perseis · 09/06/2013 19:35

Boooo. I'm pregnant and now I want gin!!! [sulks in corner]

AtYourCervix · 09/06/2013 19:36

Next time i'll blow the budget on hendricks. Couldn't justify it today.

This is doing the job though. Am enjoying muchly.

Envy I want a gin with all that stuff in.

DrHarleenQuinzel · 09/06/2013 19:41

Gin is never unreasonable,

Bombay Sapphire Gin
Schweppes Tonic
Lime

Like the idea of blackcurrants and raspberries though, will have to try that

QuickQuickSloe · 09/06/2013 19:42

Sloe gin
Prosecco
No ice.

SueDoku · 09/06/2013 19:43

Plymouth gin
Schweppes tonic in little individual cans (so that it's really fizzy) - straight from the fridge
Ice
Lime (or lemon at a push)
Bliss
Grin
