What can I put in my G&T to make it more interesting? I do like a wedge of lime and sometimes a knob of root ginger, but I would like to hear some other ideas....

Any recommendations or recipes welcome.

Thanking you.

More gin!
Some people like cucumber - personally not.
Grapefruit is pleasant imo.

Angostura bitters to make a pink gin.

I think I had sliced blood orange and rosemary last time I was in St Ives. The gin was still far too strong, so I bought a baby bottle of prosecco and made it into a cocktail.

Cashier - Lanique Rose Liqueur does the same job and makes it taste like a Turkish Delight.

How elitist.
Call that a problem?
Speechless !

[LadyCG]

Where did I say it was a problem?

And since when did it become "elitist" to ask for recipe ideas.

Go and bash someone with your bible, Theland.

You must be drinking cheap gin LadyCG because any gin worth drinking really just needs a splash of tonic.
However...…….I've heard fentimans pink lemonade is popular with some people.

Elderflower cordial is nice in a G&T

definitely a First World problem! While child slaves in Asia pick the little leaves on the Tonic bushes for a halfpenny a fortnight.

[AuntPollyGrey]

Well this ain't going the way you planned is it LCG lol!

jno
instead of travelling 2 hours for a bucket of animal waste water how far exactly are they travelling to pick the tonic leaves ?
do they get travel expenses ?

[LadyCG]

APG, you might drink cheap gin but I certainly don't.

With regard to whether Gin needs only a splash of tonic, it is a matter of personal taste. I think my tastes are probably more refined than yours, but again that's just a matter of opinion.

Have yourself a very jolly weekend :-)

gness I think you'll find your boyfriend is joining in too lol!

LCG No I find cheap gin disgusting. I only occasionally drink gin and its Durham Gin which I always choose, which has a lovely savoury taste due to the addition of pink peppercorns and celery seed. Lovely with a splash of fentimans light Indian tonic.
