Gin.

Tanqueray for gin&tonic, Sapphire for most other gin cocktails, and Hendrick's for the occasional better-than-sapphire martini.

If you're looking to try something different, track down a bottle of Kensington. It's aged in oak, and will be different from other gins you've tried. I'd recommend it in simple drinks - it makes a great martini, and you can drink it neat as well. You may have a little trouble tracking it down, but give it a shot if you see it. (It's tinged brown and looks like a a lightly-colored scotch, it's hard to miss.)

tanq ten, citadelle

Homemade. Hand picked ingredients. brings tears to the eyes. Life shouldn't be this good.

I'm a Citadelle kinda gal, but my roommate has a bottle of Hendricks, and that makes an excellent and gorgeous gin and tonic when you add slices of cucumber floating in the glass.

Cucumber??? In G & T???? Why???

Think of the essential four elements...

Fire. Water. Air. Earth.
Spades. Hearts. Diamonds. Clubs.
Gin. Tonic. Ice. Lime.
