Mixers tested with this Gin
-
Too bitter
Goldberg Japanese Yuzu Tonic
A little too bitter for me. And a little too dry and furry. There are better combinations.
-
-
Bold
Goldberg Mediterranean Tonic
Even though it feels as if a lot of sugar is calling the shots, this is a bold mix. The two play together quite nicely.

-
Solid, but sweet
Goldberg Tonic Water
It doesn't exactly knock me off my perch. The sweetness doesn't do the gin's spicy character many favours.
-
-
Yeah…
Goldberg Ginger Ale
If you fancy something other than tonic, this doesn't work badly at all. The gin is easy to recognise, and the ginger ale isn't quite its usual self either. A good fit!

-
Dry and good
Fever-Tree Indian Tonic Water
I like this. The gin comes through. It could be a little less sweet, but with ice and nicely chilled, it's good.
-
-
Niiiice!
Windspiel Tonic Water
These two play well together too. Bitter, herbal and sweet, all in a lovely interplay. They come together well.
-
-
Soapy lemonade
Fever-Tree Mediterranean Tonic Water
Definitely too sweet, and together they head in an unpleasantly soapy direction. You can skip this one.

-
It gives up
Mistelhain Trend Tonic
The gin is no weakling, but it doesn't really come through here. You have to taste carefully to find it.
-
-
Oh? Mediterranean?
Doctor Polidori Dry Tonic Water
This mix is a surprise, almost in the style of a Mediterranean tonic. It picks up the gin beautifully, with lots of other notes alongside. It gets a little sweet, but add ice and you're sorted.
-
-
Tart and fresh
Doctor Polidori Cucumber Tonic Water
These two like each other in a refreshing way. A pleasant touch of acidity comes from the mix, giving it a livelier note.
-
-
They get along
Mistelhain Ambition Tonic
This works better than with the Trend Tonic. No big hit, but close to a two. Probably depends on the day. A little more floral, of course, thanks to the tonic.
