The fourth World Gin Day™ approaches and it promises to be as big as ever.
Last year over 5,000 competition entries were received to win gin, let's beat that this year.
Gin, that lovely juniper based spirit. In the past it has had a bad reputation but this is a day to share the gin love.
So many styles of gin are available that mean you will be able to find one (or more) that you love.
Just see what people have to say about gin below:
World Gin Day™ falls on the second saturday of June every year.
Which means it's the 9 June 2012 this year.
We are ready. Are you?
Well apart from the benefits of spending time with friends, having a G&T is great as an antimalarial. We just say why not?
Let us know on Facebook or Twitter why you drink gin and you can appear below:
World Gin Day™ is run by Neil Houston, Yet Another Gin.
It's the perfect accompaniment to everything - food and non food. Botanicals= medicinal, tonic = no malaria!

Gin is a versatile and complex spirit that will never let you down. The sheer variety of botanicals that are utilised in flavouring the spirit base means that not only is there a gin for everyone, but also a gin for every occasion!
@GinMonkeyUK
It's versatility as a spirit, plus it's strong but complex flavourings with subtleties brought out by each manufacturer
@tania_nexust
For it's poise, grace and to take the edge off the vermouth!
Tom Mullin
It's light and summery with a great boozy hit and it tastes great.
@ravimotha
A juniper scented tranquilliser which has never disappointed me.
@DouglasBlyde
Has the ability to bring joy, whether in a cocktail or G&T it's perfect.

Gin is classic, elegant and refreshing...when used right makes an exceptional martini!

Gin. The scent is invitation & promise, the first sip washes away all that is not clean & readies me to the core for delight.

Gin is the answer; it is also the question.

Nothing beats the taste. There's nothing more refreshing and enjoyable after a hard day at work!

The fantastic flavours imparted by different recipes of botanicals in the various premium can elevate the humble Gin and Tonic to a feast for the senses.
