re: Are there any Gin drinkers? What are your favorites? What do you like to mix it with?

Gin is certainly having a moment. I got into it while in Spain a few years back and now it’s about the only thing I drink outside of wine. It’s also the ultimate local drink, as botanicals local to the area of production are usually used. For a real treat, get a bottle of Hat Trick out of Charleston and mix a G&T with some elderflower Fever Tree and perhaps a dash of St. Germain. Below is the flavor profile and this TheGinIsIn website is also fantastic for comparing flavor profiles.
