Gin and?

What do you drink with you gin?

Only just started drinking it so looking for some good ideas as to what to mix with it.

Been a wine person but too many headaches and calories with it! Lol

There is an app available on android devices, assuming also available via the apple. My mate swears by it.

Not a tonic fan, so i've always gone gin and gingerale. Probably one of my favourite drinks.

Other than that, gin and pineapple.

Vermouth.

So you drink nothing with gin? Straight gin is certainly an acquired taste.

Tonic, nothing else is cricket with gin.

Hipster!

Personally I'd have:

2 parts Gin
1 part Lemon juice
1/2 sugar syrup
1/2 Maraschino
1/2 Creme de Violette

or you could omit the maraschino and creme de violette, but top up with sparkling water.

My favourite is elderflower collins. But 90% of the time it's simply tonic and a slice of lemon.
