Well tony, it's a good job I also bought a bottle of ordinary gin too, to have with the tonic and lime ;)
Of course OG, moderation in everything....or not!
I find Tanquaray very harsh, it's not a gin I would even choose DT. I do like Bombay saphire though, and Blackwoods. I'm yet to find a favourite.
Paddy, my dad used to make it just like that, we were allowed the tiniest glass of it you could ever imagine, just the thought of it takes me back..... :)

I have made sloe gin until this year (move intervened) it's delicious, but lethal in quantity. The recipe was given to me by a chap who referred to it as 'fast gin' (he was talking about the results on ladies!). I assume that sloe vodka is similar, but vodka doesn't have the taste of gin - perhaps that gives a different drink entirely. :)
