Has anyone tried this and what do you drink it with?
Everyone at work keeps going on about it so I had to buy one for myself
I’ve never been a gin drinker but people say it’s very nice and fruity
What’s other opinions please |

"What’s it like with lemonade
Is it so many parts gin and so many lemonade or just as it comes
"
I prefer it with diet lemonade compared to tonic, lots of raspberries and a good deep gin glass. A double gin and top up with lemonade. |

"What’s sloe gin???"
My Dad used to make it...
Berries in the hedgerow, plum, damsons, but the smallest one which are too bitter to eat are called sloes.
Pour a shed load of sloes into half a bottle of gin... Leave for a month or two... Drink.

I had my first and only taste of pink gin age 11 at a school friends birthday. Most inappropriate from the family solicitor but back in '61 things were very different. I told Mum and she never took him to task over it people didn't make a fuss back then.
I would have been furious had it been my child.
I have only tasted gin over the last couple of years don't like it. Vodka my preference |

"Gordon's sloe gin is a must try too. "
My home made Sloe gin is great I have damson vodka and blackberry brandy from last autumn too. We have a special hedgerow and get them every year.
Very simple just add sloe and sugar shake and hide in back of a cupboard

Pink gin is lush... i have it with Elderflower Tonic, tons of ice and enough strawberries, raspberries and blueberries to technically call it a fruit salad... ergo G&T is now a health food... hurrah!  |

"I saw an ad for Bakewell gin. I've never been tempted to buy gin until now.
My bottle didn't last long, one of my favourites!"
What did you mix it with? |

Diet lemonade, I very rarely use tonic. |

"Stay away from any kind of Gordon’s gin. Absolutely vile 
"
I'm in agreement; I stopped drinking it when they reduced the ABV to 37.5% and maintained the price. There are far better gins.
Higher ABV allows more of the aromatics to be retained.
Traditional 'Pink Gin' is made simply by adding a dash of Angostura Bitters* to a mixing glass filled with ice, stirring for 20 seconds, tipping the ice into a fresh glass and adding a decent gin.
*Available in most supermarkets next to the more exotic spirits. |

it's a nice refreshing tipple. People I know drink it with lemonade, for me tonic is better but it's personal taste. I like gin anyway, tanquarry ten is lovely. |

"I tried Whitley Neill Rhubarb and Ginger him after everyone was raving about it. I don't like it so an almost full bottle is sat in my cupboard!"
I was up north last week and the people behind the bar said that I must try this rhubarb gin. They must have seen me coming, it was rank!

Nooooo!!!! Try it with ginger beer. The quince (green bottle) is fantastic!
As Frank has said, I have a far too big gin collection

"I have 12 different bottles at the moment, my favourite is Palma violets 
Can you bring them to our next "circle time"   "
Haha can't promise how long they will last! Turkish delight is my least favourite so I'm sure I'll still have some of that left  |

I worked in a navy bar for a while and a pink gin was 3 drops of angosturra bitters, swirled round the glass and flicked out, then gin. Is this stuff the same thing? |
