Rhubarb and ginger. I can't remember the brand though... I'm not a big gun drinker, but that's lovely with a spot of lemonade and a handful of frozen raspberries.

Tanquaray 10 is a outstanding Gin as is Tanquaray Rangpur. I’ve a bottle of Bivrost Gin from Norway that’s amazing too

Caorunn is another classic dry Gin too

Tappers darkside is lovely, very savoury and green.

My other favourite is Brooklyn gin, has a lovely citrus top with a floral lavenderish aftertaste.

"I know it's not for everyone, for one reason or another, But in loving Tanqueray at the moment.

Is that the Tanquerey Sevilla Orange Gin? If so, it was a best seller in the Bar at my last workplace.

Second best was Whitley Rhubard and Ginger.

Third best seller was Warwick Gin, a limited production Gin each bottle sequentially numbered. We had the first 12 bottles.

I miss gin

When I was drinking I was part of the gin club and the favourite one I ever tried was perfume trees gin but it’s way too expensive for a every day gin.

I love masons green apple gin or Whitley Neil rhubarb and ginger or tanqueray number 10

Salcombe Start point is the best gin we have tried. Brockmans is a big fave too.

We've learned the importance of a good quality tonic though. The 40p a litre supermarket own can spoil any gin!

Took years for us to realise that!

There are too many amazing gins to pick a fave,

but some of my top picks are:

Tanqueray 10 delicious with a slice of grapefruit, Whitley Neil blood orange, their rhubarb and ginger is amaze too.

And jj Whitley do a mango and papaya one which is ridonculous.

I wasn't keen on that one, not gin-ie enough. Experimenting has brought me to the Gordons non-alcoholic (which is odd as I'm not a big fan of their real stuff).

It really works well as a gin, even for just a straight G&T.
