Gin and Tonic

What is your favorite gin? Tonic water? Do you put a lime in it?


Currently, I like Bombay Sapphire with Fever Tree tonic water, with a slice of lime squeezed into the mixture and left floating (to get the bitter oils from the lime peel). I was a big Tanqueray fan years ago, but have switched to Bombay in recent years.

I tried Bombay before but it wasn't my cup of tea.

A friend who is a big gin connoisseur had a tasting, and my favorites were:
1. Citadelle
2. Junipero (from Anchor Distilling)

I prefer beer or scotch, so what do I know.

Never tried Gin. Smells like dry gasoline to me.

More like E85. Really, it's pretty much ethanol, water and some flavoring.

Tangueray Rangpur and Diet Schweppes. I like the smoothness of the Rangpur and the quinine is less noticeable in the diet.
