Whats the best....

Gin for a G&T?

Nearly out of Gordon's and am increasingly seeing trendy small batch gins. Anything worth trying?

    I'm told lidls gin is perfectly acceptable or is that not what you mean:o

    I can't stand Gordon's myself. We're a Tanqueray house here :) but as above don't mind Lidl's "London Gin" at all - use it with their rip off Pimms to give it a bit more oomph.

    I am on Bombay Sapphire at the moment but also have a bottle of Hendricks to get through - both are lovely :) x I find Aldi's tonic is lovely - tried it for the first time the other day and was the nicest I had but it has aspartame in it which I prefer to avoid :/ x

    Might have to try their London Gin . . . .

    My personal favourite is Bombay Sapphire :) I can't get on with Hendricks though as much as I want to. However, some of the other gins I like are - Plymouth, Bulldog, Langleys No 8, Tanquery and Oliver Cromwell (which is Aldi's own).

    Adnams gin is lovely but rather more pricey than the supermarket stuff. We usually buy Aldi's Oliver Cromwell gin.
