Lining up the good ones, eh? OK, let's put Bombay Sapphire in the number
then.

Agreed! It also has to be a martini, not mixed with tonic!

thinkgs like jelapeno stuffed olive.

DD has developed a taste for "dirty" martinis. I like olives etc, but
not when they displace gin. LOL

That was the other option, We looked at them both and went with Tanq
first.
Going to try an organic plymouth gin too.

I always remember my grandma drinking gin and orange juice and something
put me off, but I guess tastes change, because I really enjoyed the
fruity herby taste instead it reminding me of flowery perfume.

I don't buy booze until I can try it in a bar or wherever. The couple
of times I've asked for Plymouth at a bar, they haven't had it. I
don't even know if my local Liquor Barn carries it. I need to look.

I'll chance one bottle.
If I don't like it as a spirit, it always get used as a minor ingredient
in something else.

Oh, Vilco.... Adulterating Sapphire with tonic is almost
sacrilegious! Sapphire Blue is best in a "dry" martini.... I haven't
worked up to "very dry" yet. "Very dry" (IMO) is when you whisper
"vermouth" over the gin. That's too dry for me.
