I'm Allen.
Mrs. P's favourite is Whitley Neill's rhubarb & ginger.
In the mid seventies I had a spell of drinking sloe gin, and when I came across some last Christmas I bought a bottle for my friend's wife (method in my madness), but when I called round a couple of days later she'd drunk the lot, the greedy bitch She's getting a can of Tennents next Christmas.
I just dropped in, to see what condition my condition was in

Partial to it that way too, fond of Martin Miller gin and also Eden Mill of St Andrews cause it’s local. I’m also fond of a large glass lots of ice, large gin of your choice filled up with a bottle of fiery ginger beer! The two flavours contrast and complement each other, give it a go, ya never know.
Please take good care of your S2k keep it by your side for long and enjoy it from the bottom of your heart and share the quality and legacy of the S2k with many friends so that the legend of the S2k will continue for long. Shigeru Uehara Designer Honda S2000.

Now you're talking! The Beobloke house is a big fan of gin. Current favourites in the drinks cabinet are:
- Silent Pool with Fever Tree limited edition Clementine and Cinnamon Tonic
https://silentpooldistillers.com/
- Opihr with Fever Tree Aromatic tonic
https://www.ginfoundry.com/gin/opihr/
- Twisted Nose Watercress gin with Fever Tree Elderflower Tonic. This gin is from Winchester Distillery, which is a tiny setup in the village of Alresford. They also do a cracking Wasabi vodka!

And for the everyday 'go-to', I still think you simply can't beat Bombay Sapphire with Fever Tree Mediterranean tonic.
Finally; don't forget - national gin day tomorrow. Cheers everyone!

Thanks I will try most of not all of the mixes mentioned. Cucumber sounds interesting and the ginger beer as a mixer. I wonder about the quality of tonic. Ive served fever tree but wonder if cheaper big bottles of tonic are ok.... theres aromatic, mediteranean, indian but I dont want it to spoil the flavours to the gin
I served some of these gins on a bar but havent tried them yet again
Wonder what the male equiv of mothers ruin is because I find it very refreshing to unwind after work
Some of the more subtle gins are worth trying with ice but no tonic. Just enjoy the flavour of the gin.
