I love Hendrick's, and I love Monkey 47, but a simple gin and tonic is fine. I went to a bar last night and got Gilbey's and tonic for $3.50 a drink. That can't be beat, and Gilbey's is fine. 

But I wouldn't go any lower than Gilbey's. Five O'Clock? I'm afraid you're getting into bathtub gin territory, based on the headaches I get from it. 

But those others, from 5 through 10? I'll vouch for four of them: Gilbey's, Gordon's, Seagram's, and New Amsterdam. That last one, btw, is my favorite gin, when ranked on a blended scale of taste/cost. A poor man Hendrick's that, I'm told, gin experts consider one of the worst-tasting gins out there, so be your own judge. 

I never drink gin straight, so as long as it's not giving me headaches, I doubt it much matter. I ascribe to the Fever Tree marketing position: most of the drink is tonic, so spend more on the tonic. Amen to that. 

It reminds me of talking with [**Therese Warmus**](https://link.amazon/B0499Hras?ref=thedailyeudemon.com), back in my [***Gilbert Magazine*** ](https://www.chesterton.org/membership/?ref=thedailyeudemon.com)days. Her father offered to pour a guest a few fingers of a fine bourbon. The guest said that'd be great, but asked to get it in a Coke. Her father said sure then went to the kitchen and made the young a Jim Beam and Coke. 

*I'm not sure if Therese comes to TDE anymore, but Therese, if you're reading this, I'd enjoy getting re-connected. You were one of my favorites back then.*
