Any thoughts on the best Gin to use for G&T's?
I've used Bombay Sapphire and New Amsterdam in the past. The Bombay is better, and for the $ it should be.
What do you use for G&T's?
Tonic is the other factor. For me it's usually grocery store Polar Tonic. It's cheaper, lower carbs/sugar, and just as good as Canada Dry, Seagrams & Schweppes. If I have company, or it's on sale, I buy a name brand. My favorite tonic is FEVER-TREE Premium Indian Tonic, but it's hard to find and expensive. I didn't care for the much-hyped Q-Tonic. Avoid using diet tonic.
I finally found my old G&T bible. There is another which "Get Those Limes Off My Lawn" Warner blames America for ruining G&T's, but I haven't found that one yet.

So, I need to get a bottle of Gordons, or maybe Seagrams Extra Dry? I'm just talking for G&T's, not martinis, etc.
