assuming that, i don't know what to tell you. Beefeater is neutral enough to try it with...Bombay standard should be about the same...Sapphire if you're picky. I wouldn't try that one with Tanq...the flavor is a bit too strong, IMO to add anything else in. i might add a little extra lavender to smooth it out a bit...
As gin drinkers, we were thinking of going with Beefeater because it is a rather neutral gin--it isn't as herbal as Tanqueray or Bombay Sapphire (and WHO would DARE corrupt Bombay Sapphire...) and it's not as pricey either

Thanks for all the tips everyone...keep 'em coming.
