I bought a bottle of expensivish gin yesterday, instead of the
moderately cheap stuff I usually get. It cost twice as much than my
Seagram's, and is about 20% stronger. I just wanted to see what the
difference was.

Is there anything I need to try with it that I normally wouldn't drink
with cheaper gin? I usually have gin & tonic in the summer, or
sometimes gin & Fresca. I had a shot last night, chilled and it did
taste better like that than Seagram's, but that could have just been the
higher alcohol content which numbs ones taste buds.

A real Martini, maybe? (Can I still call it a Martini if I use the
wrong shaped glass?)

Dunno, I like the Tanqueray Ten personally. I think it qualifies as
expensive, but since a bottle lasts me about five years the price is
pretty much irrelevant. It's nearly always used for gin and tonic.
