Gin with a splash of gin sounds good.
One's great-Uncle Johnnie, who allegedly ran a whelk stall in the Old Kent Road, also - allegedly - drank a concoction in the early 20th century known as a "Dog's Nose" , which was a gin & beer!
Think G & T, with a decent IPA replacing the T ...... like the G & T, it can be long or short.
One rather likes the martini-esque idea of diluting alcohol with more - albeit weaker - alcohol!
It's not as bad as it sounds...........
