I've made infused vodkas but not gins. Any tips?

If you can get hold of some rhubarb you should make rhubarb gin. 100g rhubarb cut into 1 inch chunks per 100ml of gin. Place in a saucepan with a piece of foil over the lid to make it airtight, warm it slightly then leave it overnight, filter through muslin and bottle it. Makes the most incredible G&T.
The rest of my gin infusions are based around the fruit-sugar-gin then leave for months method.

Rhubarb -- that sounds delightful, and I will try it. Thank you!

Just last night I finally got to use some simple syrups I'd made: Earl Grey with lavender, and rosemary with ginger. Shaken with vodka. Very nice.

Those sound amazing! Will definitely have a go at them.

Haha! It's not mine, it's Michael's. Make of that what you will.

Well! At least those gooseberries (geeseberries? Geeseberry? Dammit…) and strawberries died happy.
