Hello Peter...First time here and what fun! I don't usually respond to blogs or even comment and I'm not sure if this is the correct place for this but I arrived here by way of Gin and Tonic. Like you commented in your post in 2008, I had a recent thought "I'd like a G&T but without the alcohol." And, like you, I love Tanq best!(I'm a gal that simply MUST lose some weight and 15 years of an almost nightly G&T has just got to stop if I'm to get it done!) Here's my question to you....Did you stick with your original formulation as posted -- (juniper berry extract/ bitters, etc) -- and did it all work out taste-wise? I think you drink your Gin straight, but I'll be mixing it with tonic (I know I shouldn't waste Tanq on that, but I do). I guess I'm just trying to get an update. Do you have any better formulation or should I just go with what you have in the original post. Thanks
That was pretty much the formulation I ended up with, then I pretty much dropped the project. You might want to try diet tonic with a mix of juniper extract and bitters and see how that works for you.
