Try a better gin? Just like any other booze, the spectrum will range from swill to magic potion. I have tried and enjoyed many 'craft' gins, but there are 2 mainstays for me: Hendrick's, with unique botanical and just the slightest olfactory hint of cucumber (hence why I put a bit of peel in my pour) and Tanqueray 10, which I think is the best all-around gin available. Very dry, very drinkable.
I have tried Bombay and Hendricks. I just think it is one of those drinks that won't ever agree with my pallet.
