    Hello,

    I would like to buy a bottle of gin for a gift. I'm not a fan of gin and I know it's very popular lately. I wouldn't know what to get. I'm looking for white gin with no flavourings. Browsing online, there is so many gins. I don't know what to get. Any recommendations? It's for a lady friend. She's likes tonic water with her gin so I will probably get some tonic water too.

    Try the beer and spirits forum.

    Get her a bottle of Gunpowder Gin and Fever Tree Tonic.

    Douglas do a nice clear one. It'd take paint off your paintbrush.

    There's loads of fancy gins. Just buy a random top shelf one.

    My favorites are hendricks and Bombay Sapphire. Drumshanbo is very popular too.

    Don't forget to buy a glass as well, as she will need a receptacle for the gin (and tonic).

    Cork dry gin was the only gin until it becomes the drink de jour.

    It's over there. As a previous poster mentioned, Gunpowder takes the prize.

    Get some alcohol down the hardware store. Mix equal parts of that with toilet water. Pop into a nice bottle and voila, homemade gin.
