Writing this now as tomorrow I may well be a little...distilled.
What's your favourite at the moment? Do you get from anywhere interesting?
I have three arriving tomorrow - all half price from Ocado. Be rude not too... |

"Someone sell gin to me, I'm just not feeling it. "
There are so many types and flavours now, sure there is something there for you. Fave summer drink currently is watermelon gin that's been in the freezer, with lemonade. Very refreshing and doesn't taste alcoholic. Least till you try and stand. |

"Everydays a gin day. "
Whitley neill raspberry is Lacey’s gin of choice currently and I just pinch whatever she’s having later on when I’ve had enough lager  |

My favourite is still La Republica, only available from craft gin club. I got an email from them last week saying due to popular demand, they’ve imported more stock. My bottle arrived a couple of days ago  |

Oooh, Sainsburys do the little cans ready mixed, I think it's Pink gin, lemon and elderflower, it taste bloody lovely, adding a few cans to the shopping list for tomorrow, with some fresh strawberries and crushed ice. Cheers OP.

I had one that tasted just like liquid refreshers. Very nice. From a pub, no idea what it was I thought I'd ordered ginger and something else but it waant that |

"I noticed that the non-alcoholic, very expensive, Seedlip 'gin' was on offer.
I can't quite get over that it is basically cordial. Alright, cordial with unusual botanicals.
"
I know! I can't quite get my head round and feel I must be missing something (other than the alcohol!). Most "craft" gin is actually made by someone buying a base alcohol from a wholesaler, and adding botanicals to flavour it. So are they adding it to water...? |

I think they are just adding water and reducing it down with sugar to make a cordial.
Gin is just flavoured vodka. |
