Sapphire and tonic... my go-to standard.

Have to admit, I love sapphire in a martini, but prefer Tanqueray in a G&T. Also Booth's which is fabulous, yet low priced. Also like to switch it up with Hendrick's.

Interesting. You have me thinking I may be in a rut with the Sapphire. I don't drink martinis myself, but I make them for others. Perhaps it's time to shake things up a bit.

Or stir. 😜 Have you ever tried Hendrick's?

Ha! I thought about that right after I posed it. I have not, although I've seen it. My recent experiments have been with bourbon and tequila, so I'm thinking gin needs some love.

@Liebik: Hendricks is amazing. AMAZING. It's infused with rose petals and cucumber which sounds vile, but isn't. Do NOT garnish a G&it with lime but use a slice of cucumber. I prefer it to be a peeled cucumber, but I've been told I'm picky.

I like the sound of that, I'll definitely give it a try.

Picked up some Hendricks the past weekend, combined it with a peeled cucumber, and well, thanks for the tip. It's an excellent drink.
