Can we talk about Gin?

[Slubberdegullion]

After G&T spanish inquisition by over zealous barman at restaurant last night I wondered if there were any Gin experts on MN today.

I am interested in:

What is your fave brand, and can you tell the difference?

Do you drink it with anything other than tonic?

Lemon. Lime or something else in with it?

Hello, this thread is a little old now. Take a look at this handy page for a round up of Mumsnetters' favourite gins.

'Tis mother's ruin. Famously so.

FF you'll have to join the BARRR and join in with their virtual boozing

Plymouth Gin, with a wedge of lime, lots of ice and tonic

Oh dear, poor Cod, no Gin until June? How dreadful (seriously dreadful) I only managed just to give it up when I was pg because of the porr wee unborn baby. You must think of your poor liver&spleen along the same lines. Virgin G&T's ie no G are quite refreshing (I imagine)

Sorry DH gor diagnosis wrong....we were on the right virus lines.

Plymouth Gin or Bombay Sapphire, ice and lemon. (make mine a double)

why are you banned cod? are you ok?

cod, revisit all those tasty-drinks-for-preggers threads

0% Cobra.

oh god

I like gin with a smidge of vermouth and an olive, the barest whiff of vermouth mind. Must be chilled.
My great aunt used tp drink gin and it - gin and sweet vermouth

gin rickaaayyyy - never heard of it but it sounds delicious

Has anyone said Gordon's?

Isn't it the case that Gordon's is seen as too stuffy and dull a brand so everyone's going to say a hip name like Bombay S to liven up an old maid's drink

Times are hard, thus it is the Sainsbury's 40% London Gin (the shame), but in the good old days it would be Tanquery.

cod -god I feel for you
you'll have to think of another vice

Just had a G&T. Cheers everyone.

OK - I've had a look at my gin shelf! I have at the moment: Cadenhead's Old Raj (my favourite), Bombay Sapphire, Tanqueray, Plymouth, Hereford Dry Gin, Hendricks, Tanqueray 10, Sainsbury's Taste the Difference, and something in a purple bottle that I can't remember.

All are good for different moods and purposes.

I want to try this next saffron gin

I think I might have a slight gin problem...

gin shelf !!

I want a gin shelf.
Suspect it wouldn't be well stocked for long!
Counting the minutes until i can have a gin!

You see. No on e mentioning Gordon's. Cannot shake its image.

GORDON'S GIN PEOPLE - RUN A COMPETITION ON MUMSNET NOW!

URGENT

Come on, mn HQ. Look at all the gin lovers. Get Gordon's in for a comp.

I am trying not to drink til Thursday and now all I can think of is that bottle of Bombay in the cupboard and the little tins of tonic in the fridge. They are calling me...
