Oh how i adore gin!! It's my only hard alcohol of choice. I used to order G&T's but wanted to cut back on the sugar so now I drink gin and sodas, sometimes with a splash of tonic. If you like lemony drinks, I would highly recommend a Tom Collins- a truly refreshing drink that is way too easy to consum. My recipe: Add ice to tumbler, then 1 part gin, 1/2 part lime juice, 1/2 simple syrup and top it off with soda water. The soda makes it fun! Oh and if you have the good maraschino cherries around, you could muddle it in the Tom Collins and it completely takes it up another notch.

Also for gin martinies, I think Henrick's is the best but (IMO) it doesn't taste good as a mixer- too floral. So tanq or bombay works well for mixed drinks for me while Henricks is good as a martini with a slice of cucumber. Thanks god it's Friday, will have to make one when I get home!

i LUV campari. i prefer negroni's or just a simple campari n soda (which is what i drink at home)...nothing too sweet. i love the bitterness of it.
