Oooh thank you. No Tesco nearby I'm afraid, however there's plenty of time so when I'm next near one I'l pop in. I'm sure Adi or Lidl will have some too at a reasonable price. I wonder what the difference between drinking gin and cooking gin is though? Never heard of that before!

“Cooking” gin/whisky/vodka is cheap and cheerful and fairly innocuous with no noticeable characteristics beyond price, so it doesn’t matter if you mask it’s flavour with sloes (gin), drown it in honey and lemon (whisky in a hot toddy), or make it into chocolate vodka. If I want a G&T, I’ll use a gin where I like the taste e.g. Sipsmiths, but when I tried a bottle of gin that I didn’t like (Plymouth Gin), it got made into sloe gin which completely masked the original flavour.

You wouldn’t waste a single malt in a hot toddy.
