I've yet to try a gin I don't like. Beefeater was on an offer, and seems OK. I've happily drunk Aldi gin before, and I'd get Sipsmith if it wasn't quite so pricey.
I like Hendricks too. I am a lime girl myself though.But Beefeater? Though if you're putting cordial in it I don't suppose it matters much.
Hendricks for me, thanks, served with cucumber of course

Good enough reason to buy the Beefeater then! The Aldi stuff is ok. I did once buy a bottle of Masons Yorkshire Gin at a local street food festival as the few drops of sample seemed ok. A mistake as I found it quite chemically and not too pleasant - being from Yorkshire I did drink it eventually anyway.I've yet to try a gin I don't like. Beefeater was on an offer, and seems OK.

Two of my colleagues have just come round with a trolley of G&T. Very civilised.
I find that if you drink dry martinis then the expense is worth it. If you're on G&t then you need to mix extremely strong to be able to tell the difference.I've tried loads of these 'artisan' gins made with exotic botanicals and extracts of nubile virgins and all that nonsense, with the vast majority of them it's a case of the emperors new juniper berries.
My fave gin is Tanqueray Rangpur, it's lovely stuff.
Glad to know rhubarb gin works. I have been planning on making someMrs B and I are celebrating this - any excuse for gin o'clock !
We have 'his n hers gins just now.
I have London #1 which is blue and she has her homemade rhubarb flavoured gin which is pink.
Cheers!
