Insert name here
Tonic, lime, plenty of ice and a splash of angostura
I thought it was a tampon joke!
Back when I bartended there was an old British guy who came in and ordered a Pink Gin. I had to ask him what was in it...Gin and bitters (angostura).
Not a lot of work involved in mixing that one.

Yeah
so no-one here drinks gin all by itself?
The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, "You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done." -unknown

hendricks gin i can do straight, but i prefer it with tonic and lime.
gin and cranberry can be very good too.

Back in the day, I used to enjoy Bombay Sapphire with just ice. Gin straight can be pretty powerful stuff. It creeps up on you and then- Bam!
The wife and I were playing Monopoly with some family and friends one New Years Eve and I was drinking Sapphire straight. I thought I had things in check- "sipping" by my definition. Midway through the game (probably after buying Boardwalk- lol), I passed out - head straight down on the card table. Woke up several hours later thinking to myself: "WTF?"
Gin with just ruby red grapefruit juice is good. These seem to compliment each other well without getting the nasty sweetness most mixed cocktails provide.
I must say that I never really got into any sort of Gin drink with cigars. The Juniper Berry (giving Gin it's distinct taste I think) always seemed to overpower or distract from the tobacco taste.

LOL, my dad always told me the way to make a good gin martini was to pour in the gin and then just whisper "Vermouth" over the top of the glass.

The only use I've ever had for Gin is a Gin and Tonic, and I don't like citrus with cigars.
My new favorite, is an old favorite, the Manhattan. Good Bourbon over ice, a splash of sweet Vermouth, a dash of bitters, and a Maraschino cherry.
Bittersweet, smoky, and good with a Maduro.

alright Mr. Churchill....sometimes shaken with ice, then poured into a glass that's sitting next to a bottle of vermouth! (not TOO close though)
anyway, I don't enjoy Gin as much as Vodka, and yes i realize they are the same thing but gin has some extra spices in it, whatever. I feel that the purity of vodka makes it nicer to mix with things. My favorite things to mix with are cranberry juice or red grapefruit juice. I find that both are sweet and yet tangy and makes a nice drink.

Well, I tried this on my b-day.......gin/tonic/lime........fantastic. I really enjoyed the crisp clean taste between pulls on my cigar. I picked up a bottle of Seagrams Lime gin......I'm gonna try that one straight up with ice and see what happens. Maybe I'll hit up the drunken review thread this weekend.

Yes.. Gin + Tonic + Lime = Very Refreshing Drink!
