I've been a fan for years. Vodka is an alternative but it doesn't have the flavour of gin.
I have Italian friend who drinks Bombay Sapphire neat along the lines of Grappa. Not my style.
I lived in Russia for 3 years and drank vodka neat with slice of cucumber or tomato... but that's a big ask.
Bombay Sapphire has flavour but Gordon's is a more refreshing taste.
I'm torn between the two but manage to get sh!ters on both - what is your preference?
Bombay, Gordons or vodka? Personally I love all three but if I had to commit I'd go for Bombay.
