Opinions please. Bought a bottle. For $35 not so impressed. Had it with tonic. Feel like Bombay, Beefeater, and Tanquerey are better values.

It's hard to justify the cost of it but it is VERY good. Love the cucumber aspect of it.

Add mint and cucumbers to your next G&T and it'll pop.

Cucumber martini - Hell Yeah!

I bought a bottle in St Thomas for like $15 I think. Should have grabbed a few more.

My favorite gin. Hendricks and tonic with razor thin slices of lemon and lime and juniper berries. Poured over a single crystal clear block of ice.

So refreshing.

I just drink it straight with a couple ice cubes. You can really taste the difference then.

Ice and a splash of club soda, fresh lemon and lime wedge.


Basically a Tom Collins type of drink. Not bad. But over ice is good too.

It's delicious with soda and lime.

I always have two gins in my bar...

1. Hendricks for G&T, Gin Fizz, Tom Collins, etc.

2. Junipero for martinis

That's the first time I've seen it with cilantro

The one I made a while back was with a quick homemade simple syrup, lime juice, and muddled cucumbers. Garnished with mint and cucumber.

I might give the cilantro a go sooner or later

Same here. I happen to have some in the fridge so I'll be trying it.

This one looks like the best that I've seen. Haven't tried it yet but likely will this weekend.




Of all the weekends to NOT be in Jackson.

Jensen's London dry and smooth ambler greenbriar have been recent and delicious additions to my portfolio. Do yourself a favor and buy the jack Rudy's or bittermans tonic extract and dilute to your bitter preference. No other G&T will compare.

Tried a cucumber margarita the other night at McMenamins. It was actually so good, I got second one. Who'd a thunk?

I like it. I also like Miller's gin. No cucumber, but smooth and a little spicy.
