Normally I use Blue Ribbon London Dry Gin or Bombay sapphire but I got into a conversation with a bartender last night and he said if you're not drinking the alcohol straight it's a waste of money to buy "expensive" booze because you'll it's mixed and you'll never notice the difference. What say the OT?

Tanqueray 10. Except with a little bit of dry vermouth instead of tonic.

Bombay/Schweppes - 3 fingers with a twist

Both gin and tonic brands make a huge difference.

ETA: Bombay sapphire

When I'm pilled you don't notice him.
He only comes out when I drink my gin

He's right. Broker's or New Amsterdam are tasty and inexpensive.

I like sapphire and tanqueray, boodles and plymouth are also worth a try. Skip the tonic with those two. Dirty martini ftw
