      Bombay S is pretty good and it’s not abrasive as other Gins, so mixing it works wonders when you’re trying to hit a distinct flavor. Pick a recipe that tries to highlight a particular aspect of the drink and make it twice, one with Tanqueray and the other with Bombay S. I’m not saying it’s the best tasting but in the sense of mixing, you can’t go wrong :)
