Not taste a parma violet gin but if its anything like the sweets, I'll give it a miss.

Strangely I don't have a sweet tooth (apart from chocolate) and I don't like the modern version of pink gin! Lemon drizzle sounds amazing tho.

Rhubarb gin with ginger ale is lush!

I've never been a gin drinker but like the sound of some of these new gin's but don't have a clue what I am meant to mix it with or are they meant to be drunk neat?

Don’t think you could drink it neat. Fever tree tonic and lots of ice. Slice of lemon or lime, a few strawberries or raspberries- to keep it healthy !

Whitley neal rhubarb gin with fever tree elderflower tonic is the best!

I'm late to the gin party but trying lots purely for research of course. Love Gin Mare and Edinburgh rhubarb & ginger either with tonic or ginger ale. Picked a bottle of Asdas own Rhubarb & ginger £12 that's very nice. Just started off my sloe gin for Christmas too.

I also think Aldi Cromwell gin and tonic is pretty good with a big wedge of pink grapefruit.

Thats actually a gin liqueur rather than a gin hence the 20% volume instead of the 43%, edinburgh gin do a few flavoured liquors also lots of people like these because theyre more sugary and stronger tasting.

JJ Whitney and whitney neill (same bloke in both companies) do a fantastic Violet gin and a Raspberry one, i prefer tanquarray sevilla to whitney neills blood orange.

We sell a large range of gins in our lil club. (10 last time i looked which isnt bad for a small place) Theyre huge at the moment.

JJ Whitney do a fantastic rhubarb vodka.
