I can't really stand gin & tonics anymore, too sweet, same for gin gimlets so I usually go w/ a gin ricky, gin (Hendrick's or Miller's), a couple lime chunks & club soda, maybe garnish w/ a cucumber wedge

Really though if I want to drink gin, I want a martini, which is the perfect cocktail.

The only other cocktail I drink is sort of a caipirinha, mix cachaça w/ sugar and muddled lime, pour over ice then add Looza passion fruit nectar. My dad makes these all the time, he just calls them a summer cocktail. I basically can't grill w/o one.

In Brazil we have countless variations of that one. It´s basically any of a big list of fruits with ice, sugar and cahaça, vodka or sake.

Caipiroska.

Jameson and some sort of glass container to hold it.

Water.

Berrs.

That's all I drink at bars, really. Sometimes I'll get a vodka martini neat but in a rocks-type glass. I fucking hate martini glasses.

Gin tastes terrible.

Just got a bottle of this weird Turkish liquor, I'm pretty sure the drink is Raki and the brand is Tekirdag (with a bar over the G, which means the G is not pronounced but rather the vowel preceeding it has a slightly drawn-out sound, go figure).

The weird thing about it (aside from it being flavored like anise) is that the common way to drink it is mixed with a little water. That's not weird, BUT. when you add some water to this clear liquid, it turns white. WTF?!?!

I have no certainty about this, but am assuming that most bars wouldn't have it. But if you see it somewhere, and you like a taste in the neighborhood of Chai/Anise/Licorice, then go for it.

When mixed with water this is called Lions Milk.

Raki, Ouzo and also Pastice are similar.
