Could anyone reccomend a nice gin, that is good on the rocks, perhaps listing its characteristics? Thanks guys!

For on the rocks, I think a gin with a bit more citrus is appropriate. Beefeater and Tanqueray Rangpur are excellent on the rocks. Rangpur is very limey, though it is not overbearing. Beefeater has a definite citrus note, though not close to the level of Rangpur. To give you an idea, you dont even need a lime when making a GT with Rangpur.
It was such a dissapointment when Tanqueray discontinued Malacca, which was a gin with a subtle grapefruit note. It was superb on the rocks.

We cracked open the bottle of Hendricks and sliced a cucumber and it was fantastic. We ended up making mostly gin and tonics that were so refreshing and flavorful. The cucumber added a nice dimension beyond the botanical and citrus flavors. What a treat!
