I am enjoying a bottle of Hendrick's very much at the moment, despite the overprecious graphic design. Tomorrow I'm planning to purchase the additional ingredients needed for
this.

I only started drinking gin and tonic because I love lime so much, and it was a good refreshing drink through the summer, but they're now my very favourite mixed drink. I started with a bottle of Tanqueray, and wasn't too excited, but the next bottle was Plymouth, instantly my preferred gin. I'm eager to
I've tried Schweppes, Canada Dry(too citrus-y), Safeway house brand and Superstore house brand tonic, and I like the latter best. It's got the best quinine to citrus ratio for my taste, and comes at the exciting price of 2.49 for 12 cans!

I await summer with relish because summer means balmy nights on my balcony with a crackingly ice-cold G&T in a tall glass. Mmmm.
Also, ever noticed that gin (or maybe its the tonic?) glows under UV lights? I used to drink gin a lot at goff clubs and my drink was always glowing this spooky iridescent white. Tres cool!

Hendrick's marketing is genius = 'this gin is not for everyone'
The UV glow of the gin is helpful for locating your drink in said clubs.
