"I did try the rhubarb and ginger gin with ginger ale but did say it was far to sickly for me
Lol"
The liqueur version is 30% sugar and only 20% odd alcohol, but the 40% alcohol versions are not sweet at all. |

"Not sure about this Palma violet gin

"So does anyone know the difference between a gin flavoured liquor and the pink Gordon’s distilled"
Liquor is generally sweeter and less alchoholic. You can think of it as distilled gin with sugar and additional flavours added afterwards. |

At the end of the day it comes down to which you prefer flavourwise - neither is 'better' than the other they are just made in a slightly different one. I believe the Gordons Pink is quite an old recipe where as the flavoured liquors are a more modern invention - I noticed a big explosion in flavoured variations this christmas - gin, rum, whisky all seem to be getting the treatment. |

"Tried rhubarb and ginger but found it a bit sicklyits lovely mixed with prosecco"
I tried the lemon drizzle gin with Prosecco as per Sipsmiths recommendation.. don’t think the gin/fizz combination agreed with me! Half a glass and I was in a right state  Never again haha!
