If they could make something that tastes like gin* but had no alcohol the world would be a better place, at least in my book
*Gordon's Dry Gin, in particular.

Those would be interesting...By the way have you ever made a Gin-n-tonic
With either Schweppes Bitter Orange, or Bitter Lemon Tonic water? They a both booze ambrosia.

Can't say I have. I use plain old Schweppes, about 50/50 ratio in a standard tumbler with five drops of lime juice and exactly three ice cubes. Yeah, I know I'm a bit OCD but it works for me.
Oh, with a 1 ounce bag of Lay's potato chips.
I used to be a Tanqueray man but somehow now find myself drawn to Gordon's.
Interesting thing I recently found out. Both Tanqueray and Gordon's are owned by the same company; https://www.royalwarrant.org/company/tanqueray-gordon-co-limitedAgree. For a gin and tonic Gordon's tastes almost like Beefeaters or Tanqueray especially when you're diluting with tonic. Different story for martinis. Then Gordons is terrible and you can appreciate the price difference.
As for tonic I use Fever Tree Mediterranean tonic water. Toigh to find but available on Amazon
I often end up with Diet-Tonic in order to reduce calories. A sacrifice that this Diabetic is willing to take.
