I'd be happier to see 30%. For health reasons since costs of treatment are paid by everyone.

And it's all watered down anyway. Schweppes or Britvic could make a slightly more concentrated slimline tonic.

One thing puzzles me though. What the hell is 0% Gin. Is it just water with juniper in? Why bother with ir?

To mix with good Polish vodka. 😉

Better to stick some allspice in the bottle for a few days. The flavour takes far quicker than juniper and it has a Christmassy taste.

But dilute vodka? Never.

Makes no difference really since you always dilute it rather than drink it neat

Speak for yourself! I put a drop of water into some whiskies, to open up the aromas, put literally one or two millilitres in a 50ml pour. As for gin, anything under naval strength I always drink neat, and naval strength I mix 3:1 with sparkling water. I simply don't understand people who apend 250zl on a bottle of gin and then drown it in tonic.

Warm water works best.

44.95 at Biedronka. If you sling a bit of their fake Aperol in, it takes the taste away.

What is there to understand? It simply taste good

Why spend 250zl and then mix with tonic when you can spend half that and get something that tastes almost identical? I'm sure that I can tell Harris gin from Gordon's ten times out of ten but I'd be struggling if they were mixed 50:250 with tonic. It'd be easier with something more distinctive, like Monkey 47, but even then the tonic would kill the flavours.

Reminds me of some Sicilians I used to work with somewhere. They'd buy expensive whisky, sometimes costing hundreds of euros a bottle and their choice solely based on the price and the fanciness of the label from Dubai duty free then mix it with coca cola and ice.

Vile.

Because that's probably how Don Corleone drank. 😀

Utter philistinism...
