In that respect,I love red wine and good malt whisky, and feel the same way Alan (mad-boy) does about gin, when I see folks adding lemonade or soda to the former, or ginger ale to the latter, or putting ice cubes in white wine, with the end result of simply watering it down!
Fair enough, if that's what they enjoy, but connoisseurs of wine or whisky they ain't! They enjoy either of those only as a base from which they can create a drink that they do like - and I'm exactly the same with gin... Am I a gin lover? No. Do I enjoy some gin-based drinks or cocktails? Yes
I'm the same with tequila... The only time I'll touch it is in a margarita!

Tequila is fabulous neat...not even salt and lime/lemon..it has a wicked kick....also...try Mexican White Rum...but be prepared to stay sat down for quite some time...
