Yea, do that.

Btw that is how I have been testing that German gin last week-end:

The weather was fine, warm and sunny, and so I and two friends first cycled for two hours in the local hills with our old-timer racing bicycles.

I have a 1984 Raleigh Pursuit, Made in England, Nottingham. The other two guys were riding a 1983 Austrian-made Puch, respectively a 1991 Nishiki racing bicycle.

We then had meal in the late afternoon sun on the wooden terrace in my rose garden: kings pawns and cucumber salad as a starter, then Moroccan beef tagine: beef on a bed of tomatoes with self-made preserved lemons, spiced with Ras el Hanout and garlic, cooked over charcoal in the garden for 3 ½ hours, ready to be served after our return, and a traditional Indian dessert afterwards, rice pudding with cardamom and nutmeg, sprinkled with rose water.

Drinks: the said German gin with a suitable tonic water and slices of orange and in between a couple of Jever beers.

If the Japanese are said to be making the best whisky in the world, why should not Germans make a great gin?
