    i like bombay saphire but generally only drink gin and tonic when i am out. i have a bottle of Gordens Gin thet i have had unopened since i moved here (must be 10 years old) - Mum says it only gets better with age so i should get some tonic and try it!! i'm not sure my mum has never had a bottle of gin for longer than 4 months!!

    Waitrose sell it and I think I've also seen it in Sainsbury's - it's really good.

    I like Hendrick's, but it can be a love it or hate it gin. If you're looking to spend a bit more then I'd also recommend Sipsmith's, which is lovely.

    I am not really a gin person, I prefer southern comfort or Lambs rum but I do have a bottle of Aldi Gin in for visitors and they seem to like it, it has also consistently come out best in blind taste testing awards

    We like Bombay Sapphire & Tanqueray, usually buy it duty free so it's export strength (47 instead of 40).

    Bombay sapphire here too by preference.. But do have a bottle of A!do,s own here too

    Was served it with cucumber instead of lemon the other night at a friends, and it was really very good :)
    Tesco do tonic with cucumber, also jasmine and elderflower.
    Not tried them though.

    Tanqueray is my favourite but I just like Gin! Some good Scottish Gins about, Caorunn and Boe are very good. Not a Hendricks fan myself.
    I would buy whatever is on offer in the supermarket but most of mine is gifted or bought duty free.
    Fever Tree is sold in Tesco some Co-Ops but another tonic I like is 1724.

    I've tried tanquery and Bombay sapphire, but still prefer Gordon's. Make sure you try them down the pub rather than buy a bottle (like I did) and have to drink your way through it with a disappointed face....

    I get it from Waitrose but according to MySupermarket Morrison's has it on special @ £1.35 per 500ml rather than the usual £1.69.

    Beware that you'll never go back to Schweppes let alone own brands after trying it!

    Fever tree is definitely the way to go tonic wise, their ginger beer goes rather well with a nip of gin too!

    Botanist, Monkey 47 and Ophir are some of my favourites (ophir was on offer £20 recently in tesco)

    As for garnish... ginger, mint, basil, strawberries and of course juniper berries can all work well...a quick guide here
