I got a little bit of gin in the freezer, but no tonic. What else is commonly mixed with gin?
Okay, this is not a drink, and it IS weird…
My grandmother used to soak raisins in gin*. Then she’d eat a certain number of them every night. She said it helped her arthritis.
So, I know that raisins and old ladies go with gin.
That didn’t help you at all, did it?
*naturally, this was in a large mouth, glass mason jar
Rose’s lime juice plus gin (a bit more gin than the sweetened lime juice) makes a gin gimlet. Have any green olives? Gin is great mixed with olive juice. You can also do a faux martini – just gin on the rocks (no vermouth). That’s all I’ve got.
Gin and OJ. Gin, OJ and grenadine. Gin and 7Up. Just off the top of my head.
Part of the subset “gin and juice.” (Indo optional.)
I will tell you that cola most definitely does not go with gin.
Uhh…no, not helpful. But interesting! I’m gonna be like that when I’m old.
I’m off to try gin with OJ as per silenus’ suggestion.
Vermouth
Here’s a couple I’m fond of:
Pegu Club Cocktail:
1 dash Angostura bitters
1 dash orange bitters
1 tsp lime juice
1/3 Cointreau
2/3 gin
Shake & strain into a cocktail glass.
French 75:
2/3 gin
1/3 lemon juice
1 spoonful powdered sugar
Pour into a tall glass with cracked ice; fill up with dry champagne.
And of course, there’s always the Martini.
Gin and grapefruit juice is tasty and refreshing. Never tried it with OJ.
Gin pinks is gin on the rocks with a dash of bitters. Angostura or Peychaud’s works fine.
Very, very old gin drink. Think 18th century.
The problem with gin is that either you like it or you don’t. It’s got a very distinctive flavor (originally grain spirits, i.e., vodka, flavored with juniper berries) and you either appreciate that flavor or you do not.
I personally can’t stand gin.
However, as a bartender I will inform you that most people drink gin with
a.) tonic
b.) soda
c.) orange juice (the “juice” in “gin and juice”)
d.) grapefruit
e.) Sprite/Seven/lemon-lime whatever.
Gin is also called for in Long Islands, Bahama Mamas, and a few other assorted “mixed cocktails” that it’s highly unlikely you have the liquor/mixers for anyway. Otherwise you wouldn’t be asking.
Like I said, gin is one of those liquors that either you love or you hate; if it’s in your freezer, and you want to drink it, I hope you like it, because you cannot disguise the flavor of gin regardless of what you mix it with.
Personally I was fond of gin in my Bloody Mary’s. I have since switched to tequilla, but I would still drink gin over vodka.
Ditto that. It’s also good with unsweetened pineapple juice.
This is a bit of work but:
Asian Mojito -
Make a simple syrup (water + sugar).
When it comes to boil, throw in some chopped fresh rosemary (no stems),
And sliced fesh ginger,
And lemon grass (sliced down center).
Boil gently until well infused (10-15 min).
Strain and Chill.
Serve with gin over ice with sprig of rosemary or mint and slice of lime.
Enjoy responsibly. 
Gin and Bitter Lemon is a classic combo.
I also like Gin and Lucozade
Gin Gimlets and Gin Rickeys are both delicious.
I add a little to pumpkin soup - no one can pick what it is but they seem to like it.
I saw a nice recipe on “The Alcoholic Chef” awhile back for Macaroni and Gin. Does that count?
Otherwise, gin and alcoholic hepatitis is not uncommon either.
Gin and lemonade is nice on a summer’s afternoon.
Don’t worry, my GGT last month was only 40 U/L. I’m good to go!
