Yes! I get them at Harris Teeter. They are very good.

I’m probably late on recommending this. It’s prob been around a while. But it’s great for this weather if you’re a gin drinker.

No. I don’t drink.


I'm not sure if this response was supposed to be funny but I busted out laughing.

I like Bluecoat Gin, though I just picked up some from the ABC store that comes from Japan and really like it as well. And agree with OP about Fever Tree, I have some of their Light tonic in my fridge right now!

Try the new Yuzu and Lime tonic from Fever Tree. It's AMAZING.

My 2 favorite gins are Caoruun (from Scotland and generally served with apple instead of lime) and Uncle Val's Botanical (very lemon/citrus forward!). Both available at VA ABC stores.

They are nice. Always use Boodles gin, of course.

What gin do you pair it with, OP? The one below is my absolute favorite.

The Hawk & Griffin in Vienna has a Gin and Tonic menu if you’re looking for variety.

Where did you find this????

I need this in my life.

Growing up, we made summer drinks out of elderberry flowers and it's one of my favorite things to drink.

I’m with you, OP! So delicious. I love all Fever tree flavors. For fun I tried gin plus their grapefruit soda and it was a nice change up! Also gin with their Sicilian lemonade.

Do you have a gin that you like? I don’t want to break the bank but am up for recommendations. Lately I’ve been drinking the Botanist.

Just found a new favorite tonic. Fever-Tree’s elderflower tonic water is terrific. Less sugar than sometimes overly sweet (to me) regular tonic water but not the fake diet flavor of sugar free tonic. The slight elderflower flavor is a perfect match for gin; subtle earl grey tea vibes.
