Very good, thanks Gemini, I love Gin and Tonic and have had juniper berries floating in it. I used to cook cabbage in a little water, butter and crushed juniper berries, it goes great with a ham joint.What is life if full of care we have no time to stand and stare -
Oh that is music to my ears Daisy! No wonder I feel relaxed and happy after a couple of gins.😆😆Women are like tea bags; you never know how strong they are until they are put in hot water.

Quite Enfys. I have ordered extra gins and tonics for the Grannys Rest, we are expecting a lot of medicinal drinking in there

Gin is undoubtedly Mother's Ruin and we will all come to a sticky end - but at least it will be a healthy sticky end. I'll be in the Granny Rest putting my theory to the test later.

It's very rare I drink alchohol, but when I do it's G&T. I doubt very much if I drink enough to have any of the benefits mentioned in the article.Sometimes I forget to like posts,but that doesn't mean I don't like them.Comment

Plant Fever Tree is my favourite but Bottle Green is also very nice. Nan2 I drink enough gin for the two of us so I will share the benefits with you, I cannot quite agree about the easing of aches and pains though, I have enough to keep me going (aches and pains) although maybe if I didn't have any gin at all I would have more. Mmmmm shall I test it? No I don't think I will. Husband person where is my medicine?If you want to go fast go alone, if you want to go far go togetherComment

Gin and tonic is one of my favourite drinks, especially on a warm summer evening sitting in the garden. My OH used to make a mean G&T he used to add a small drop of gin to the top.What is life if full of care we have no time to stand and stareComment

Mine does too Plant, he says the gin is heavier than the tonic so it needs to be balanced......If you want to go fast go alone, if you want to go far go togetherComment

I love it with a little elderflower cordial.“A grandchild fills a space in your heart that you never knew was empty.” – UnknownComment

Plant and Zizi - I've never heard of adding extra gin to the top of a G&T - but it sounds a good idea.
Gem - is the elderflower cordial in place of some/all of the tonic? I assume it's not replacing amy of the gin!

You just a little to the mix, Daisy, no need to drink less gin
