Alternative mixer for gin?

miss choc

Tried gin and tonic for first time (for a change from vodka) the tonic was bleugh anyone know of another mixer I could try with gin the tonic is an acquired taste methinks

RangeR

Gin and Grapefruit
Gin and Applejuice
Gin and Blackcurrent

And my favourite, Gin with Peach Schnapps [Archers of course] and Blackcurrent juice.

And stay away from fizzy mixers with yer Gin, unless you're into that sort of thing*

Gin and ginger is lovely.

If you can get ginger beer and some lime it's particularly nice.

Slozer

Gin & Vodka

Hmm might try the juices I used to use the lemonade/cola with the voddie use half the bottle and the rest of it with the 2nd vodka but if juices go better with gin might try that instead of the fizzy drink. Ginger ale sounds intriging as well

I've had good results with red lemonade or Tanora.

Gin and Cranberry, for that dry taste. Exceptional.

The Bishop Basher

If you tried it with Tonic and a slice of lemon, try it again with a slice of lime.

For perfect results, add crushed ice, squeeze a slice of lime round the top of the glass, add another fresh slice and top up with tonic.

It's like a completley different drink

Try it with a slice of lime and slim line tonic.. slim line tastes a lot nicer.


gin with cucumber and tonic is also nice.


...... But maybe tonic isn't your thing

What gin are you trying as well? If you're drinking Gordon's or something maybe try switching Bombay.

its actually supposed to be a slice of lime with gin, just lemon kinda took off here... always lime where i work but id say we are well in the minority. always fun to experiment tho op!

Gin and orange juice is my favourite drink. If I'm having it at home, I'll stick in a few mint leaves from the garden too. It's delicious!

Ginger beer is nice but beware of using it as a mixer it gives me acid reflux if im drinking it with alcohol.
