    I like gin, but not rhubarb and ginger or any of those sweet liqueur gins. I like a nice sharp tasting one with lots of ice and slices of fruit, meal in a glass 😋

    You will laugh but I bought an alcohol free gin to try 😬 Thankfully only 5.99 from Lidl. It’s ok, not nasty but tastes a bit like soil. Which is what I think tequila tastes like, so maybe it would be good for a tequila lover 🤔😆 Enjoy your spritzer, I like the raspberry one with Prosecco 🥂

    I'm with you on the liqueur gins.  I just don't like the taste of ordinary gins.  I even went to a gin tasting class with friends once.  Couldn't even force myself to drink them.  I discovered that I really dislike tonic too.

    My bf and I decided to have the rhubarb one with Prosecco one Christmas.  I totally overdid it by accident.  I really don't drink much and didn't think about it being double damage.  Luckily it didn't put me off as it's pretty nice.
