This is my favorite straight drinking gin. A lot more juniper and floral character rather than piney or citrusy.

As for drinking, I usually drink straight with plenty of ice or toss in a twist of lime or a dash of Peychaud's bitters.

City of London gin is a great everyday gin for under $35 a handle that is good enough to drink straight, but better suited for a cocktail

See, that's something I've been looking for in a gin because thus far I've only ever had the "piney" and "citrusy" stuff, which makes me feel like I need to mix it.

I've got the Hendricks Gin,its very tasty,a little bit expensive but its very good,u can drink it pur without ice or something.
It has a touch off lime and rose.
With cucumber as a "ice cube".

Good old Gin. I love the stuff but I can't say I'm very versed in my pallette... But my favorite so far has been Boodles for the more generic side. Rutte makes good stuff too.

Generally I go for a run and tonic with lime. At home too, but straight is nice on the rocks if I need to contemplate some crazy shit, put like 150ml in that cup and chiiiiillllll

Usually just whatever they have at the store I'm at, I've never had any fancy tonics.

juniper is the pine and citrus taste you're thinking of

i had this a couple times, its very smooth on its own, but i feel that it is kindof bland for mixing with basically anything

With greasy ass food.

Pizza is a go-to combo.

Down the gin, chaser with greasy pizza.
Removes the Gin aftertaste like it was never there!

Try Boodles, no citrus botanicals.

>> No.8025096

Gin is one of those weird drinks in that most offerings are just ok and the few really good brands are bypassed. Maybe it's because gin is usually mixed with tonic water that it doesn't matter.

This. Boodles is a great gin, and my preference for Martinis.

You're fucking funny Anon.

I dunno, not to sound like a total douchebag hipster but I'm a lucky fuck with a couple really small distilleries around, so I've been drinking a lot of small brand Gins lately. My big brand go to is Bombay though, I like the citrus with a decent tonic water. I know it's not good gin, but it tastes like summer to me.
