I have an odd question - does anyone have a recommendation for the best brand of gin for cooking purposes?

(I DO have juniper berries, but have a few recipes I want to try that call for gin itself...)

Oh, I know that rule - but I don't drink gin (I don't really drink much hard alcohol, except the occasion Irish whiskey). Hence, needing to ask. Google is no help.

I was going to default to Tangueray, but wanted to ask. It'll probably be in my pantry forever, hate to spring for something I end up not liking...

True.... I think I'll do that (or at least a smaller size).
