The gin lovers thread...

I had a bottle of grenalls that didn't last longer than 2 years. Somehow it developed floating bits in it. So it went down the sink.
That was before I started drinking gin. Wife bought it, had a couple of drinks and then it sat in a cupboard for ages.

I've only got 4 and aim to add more.
Storage wise I was thinking of making something either out of driftwood or old pallets.

Aldi pulls in 20-medal haul at IWSC - Harpers Wine & Spirit Trade News

I'll wait until it's on special and bag a bottle

I bought this last year, a local gent's outfitters had a gin promo day, selling this at a knockdown price.  The three different essences make for a bit of fun.

Anyone mix Ginger Beer/Ale with their gin?

I tried Gin/Ginger Ale (Schweppes) last night and, compared to the Gin/Ginger Beer (fevertree) combo, it was a distant 2nd.

Maybe the fevertree Ginger Ale is better.  I'll maybe give that a shot next time.

Some of the spiced gins work ok with ginger ale, but I'd reserve ginger beer for spiced rum personally

I hate Rum so that's out

One large award winner to try later.

Tried and quite enjoyed and with it's low price I might buy a few more to use for Sloe Gin.
