    Morning Beanie,

    Im wasn't a fan of gin either.... until I tried a raspberry gin and lemonade a few weeks ago. I think its actually the tonic I don't like, tastes like soluble paracetamol to me :rotfl:. I can cope with the raspberry gin though :D.
    Oh I've also just remembered I tried my friends rhubarb gin and ginger ale and that was quite nice too!!!

    xx
