Ditto!
At home I drink Gordon's and Schweppes. I make ice cubes with the last couple of inches of slightly flat tonic, thus not diluting the drink!
I like Fever Tree (usually the Mediterranean one) with some of the "newer" gins, but Schweppes is a lot cheaper. Not that keen on supermarket's own tonics.
I find Bombay Sapphire tatstes a bit musty
My faves are probably Jake's and Tanqueray 10. And Hendrick's with cucumber and black pepper is delish!
