Sipping a gin and soda water and it doesn't quite taste right !
Tonic water becomes sickly after a while don't like juices or fizzy stuff either !
Anyone use soda water ?
Recommed anything ?
Bitter lemon?
Yup, another vote for Bitter Lemon.
Pink gins.
Crushed frozen lime cordial. Seriously, try it. Delicious.
cranberry juice and a slice of lime
Mix it 1 part to 100000 parts with a decent whisky.
Lime, lemonade
The correct answer is ice. Lots of it. Maybe a bit of the liquid that the olives come in plus a dash of Noilly Prat to make a dirty martini.
Alternatively (and i know you don't want fruit juice but...) 50/50 with Roses Lime Cordial to make a Gimlet. Fantastic drink, and not what you'd expect. Again shaken with lots of ice.
D'Oh! took too long!
Vermouth and an olive
Apple juice and elderflower liqueur
Although reading the OP again I think maybe you should reconsider your brand of tonic.
or just not drink gin
Apple juice is my favoured gin companion
Can't choose the brand of tonic when you're out unfortunately
OJ
Was it not the esteemed Snoop Dogg who extolled the virtues of 'smokng endo' whilst 'sippin on gin and juice' alluding to the idea that it caused him to feel 'laid back, with my mind on my money and my money on my mind'
So juice would be my suggestion, I'd probably choose grapefruit
EDIT: Beaten to it by ninfan
Don't drink gin...true what then ? Not anything with cola/fizzy stuff
Big session on nye...
Ice and angostura bitters and a slice of lime.

Something you like. If you don't like mixers then drink something you don't need to mix with anything.
Lucozade
Hooch (or other alcoholic Lemonade).

Or was it just me that drank triple gin and hooch at uni (now a long time ago) - it would be tonic for me these days.
Ice, ice and more ice.
you don't need much tonic. Tall slim glass full of ice, pour gin over the ice and fill the rest with tonic.
Has to be the most refreshing drink on the planet if done properly?
Fever Tree Elderflower tonic water is surprisingly nice
Fever Tree Elderflower tonic water is surprisingly nice
Yep. Also, their tonic is so good, I drink it without gin.
If you don't like mixers then drink something you don't need to mix with anything.
Rum. Good rum. Dark, unspiced good rum. On ice.
Another vote for Bitter Lemon
Good call Flash. Daughter to bed in a few mins then out comes the new bottle of Angostura 1919....
Keep the tonic, Ditch the gin. Foul liquid.
Plenty of sparkling water (not soda) and black.
