Iām pretty partial to a g and t but must confess that as long as itās Fever Tree tonic and a fucking huge balloon glass Iām not particularly fussy.
As mentioned yesterday, this is one that has stood out as a bit yummy though:

I drink gin way more than rum now. So happy to see whatās suggested here too.
@bucks any other mixer suggestions as my partner doesnāt like tonic water either?
I brought back from Norfolk a very smooth gin. It was a tad pricey but as a āsouvenirā / treat I felt it was worth it.
Loved the bottle and label. Label comes off smoothly too so I now have a bottle to maybe make some sloe gin at some point.

I have seen ginger beer, or soda water and lime juice suggested.
I tried ginger ale first though and (a) I liked it straightaway; (b) asking for G + GA in pubs seems to be more common than I realised; and Ā© Fever Tree have a ginger ale 
Youāll thank me later:
Take 1 gin balloon glass.
Add 4 large ice cubes.
Add:
25ml london dry gin.
25ml greenallās wild berry gin.
50ml apple schnapps (I am using TeichennƩ Manzana Apple).
juice of 1 lime.
stir.
good splash of fever tree mediterranean tonic.
scrunch up a sprig of mint and add along with a kaffir lime leaf and an apple segment.

I can highly recommend:
budget(ish) option: Whitley Neill Rhubarb and Ginger Gin with ginger ale.
premium option: Bath Gin Hopped Rhubarb Edition with ginger ale. yum.

Sunday I am jumping on a plane back to the UK.
I donāt think I thought this through too wellā¦

I bought a bottle of Twisted Nose gin, distilled in Old Alresford by the Winchester Distillery, at a farmerās market in Emsworth the other day. Its botanicals include watercress and itās wonderful served with Fever Treeās elderflower tonic. Gorgeous and refreshing, with a grapefruit flavour to it - best enhanced by adding a slice of pink grapefruit. They do distillery tours too!
