No, this is not an argument about who proceeds from whom.
Bombay Sapphire is my gin of choice. Failing that, I am happy to settle for Tanqueray. Gordon's, I occasionally drink, if it is the day before pay day and money is a little scarce and there is nobody around who knows me. I find that own-brand gin serves as quite an acceptable substitute for lavatory cleaner, although one does have to be careful with the enamel.
So, what's your tipple?
About Me

- I am an Orthodox Christian and a Reader in the Diocese of Great Britain and Ireland, serving with the blessing of His Grace Archbishop Mark. I struggle along, much like most people, but I do what I can, by God's grace. I have a love for the worship of the Orthodox Church - both eastern and western - and long for the day when we have a local Orthodox Church in Britain, giving a single voice and witness of the ancient Faith of these isles to the people of these isles, with their various backgrounds and walks of life.

I have to admit that I just bought a bottle of Bombay Sapphire, and, O shame of shames, I like to mix it with Tropicana orange juice. Yes, it's a little ghetto, I know. But I like the taste, and it really gets you ready for bedtime.
This is not at all shameful. I do the same - gin and tonic, with a little orange juice to tint the water. mmmmm. I find that Cranberry works just as well. (I shall perhaps be declared anathaema now - sigh).
Have you seen the Bombay Sapphire website? There is a whole plethora of cocktails.

Enjoy.
Is all right to mix gin with cranberry juice. But if you vodka with cranberry juice, is outrage™!
Leetle M.
Glenfiddich 12 year or more (Glenlivet or Glenmorangie work as well), Cask No. 12 Ouzo, Razzouka Arak, Stonewall made with Jamaican Rum and any cider (hard cider for yanks), straight Scrumpy, Newcastle Brown Ale or Scottish Courage, and Port/Sherry (Warre's Warrior Special Reserve, Taylor Fladgate Special Ruby, Fonseca Ruby, Domecq La Fina Sherry), and Cherry Kijafa), and any number of Tequilas and Rums ... ah yes, and Cadillac/Gold/Blue Margaritas. But not all at the same time....
BTW, speaking as a bartender - it is both okay and normal to mix Vodka, Gin, Bourbon, Scotch, Tequila, and Rum with pretty much anything. Vodka is the most mixable liquor there is. Scotch is probably the least mixable IMHO.
For Gin or Vodka, try it with Grapefruit Juice ... its called a Greyhound. (With Cranberry, its a Cape Cod.)
Aha!
Thank you, Aristibule. I actually have the wherewithal to make both of those at the moment. I shall try the Greyhound later.
