Hi everyone- Great to see the emphasis on health & well-being. Congrats Doc on such a positive 11 mos! I never started drinking gin because my Dad, a martini-drinking Marine, told me when I was around 22, that he wanted to give me some serious fatherly advice. I was all ears, and he said "Never start drinking martinis." I've always liked ginger beer- my current fav is Fever Tree, a UK brand. It has 3 types of ginger in it for some flavor-layering. If you get one of those little Japanese slicers (like a mandolin), it's easy to slice fresh ginger into paper thin slices to make your own ginger beer/tea.
Stay healthy!
