What I am missing in my cocktail collection however, are alternative cocktails to just G&Ts which use distilled/aromatic gins. I have a few such as Silent Pool and others but don't know what to do with those, have never been fan of G&Ts and I prefer gin cocktails which don't necessarily involve tonic. I regret buying those gins. All the gin cocktails I make always call for London Dry.

For very aromatic gins (if we're talking herbal aromatic), I would try cocktails that also are very herb forward (like a Basil smash). If you're talking aromatic floral, then I would say citrus forward cocktails that might play well with a hint of floral aspect.

Hi Nathalie. I have to admit to being a traditionalist - gin should be juniper-forward or it isn't really "gin". Hence, I've not experimented much with what folk term "new western gins" in cocktails.

Hendricks gin and Fever Tree cucumber tonic is astonishingly refreshing in warm weather. Also their Midummer version, with elderflower tonic, for a super-floral version.
