I am not a big drinker, never have been, given the choice of any drink usually opt for Coke or a filter coffee. However, I do like a Gin and Tonic occasionally and love the fact it has become trendy in recent times with hundreds of different and distinctive gins to choose from. We are in a period of gin-aissance… So this year I am going to try a few more gins.

Back in the 80’s my parents drank Gin and Tonic. My Dad bought cheap gin and then poured it into a Gordon’s bottle and gave it to his friends at dinner parties… Stating that Gin was Gin was Gin! My Dad was right about many things but he wasn’t right about gin… A gin and tonic with a good gin and good tonic is a beautiful drink.
