The Hendrick's flavorings though seem to suggest cucumber all by itself...
It doesn't work with Bombay for me. Make's it taste metallic.

Damn just seen this after pouring the last little bit of bombay and adding a couple olives. Guess I am glad I only had bombay, dont want the metalic taste.

Have you tried Hendricks? It's made with cucumber in the infusion.

Ok, it is now official - this is falls right behind Chivas on the rocks for me.

Tried it again last night - very clean and makes for an interesting conversation in Spanish when I try to explain "Yes, that is really what Im ordering. Yes, I know what pepino is!"

Much funnier en espanol...
