Try the 24 in a Martini, a Pegu Club, a G&T, or with fresh grapefruit juice and a splash of soda (the last suggestion recommended by Desmond)... really any cocktail you'd make with regular Beefeater.

This new Beefeater is intriguing however so I will have to hunt it out. Any other concoctions (that would bring out the subtle differences of 24) you would recommend besides "the old fashioned"?

This new Beefeater is intriguing however so I will have to hunt it out.

Any other concoctions (that would bring out the subtle differences of 24) you would recommend besides “the old fashioned”?

Even the master distiller for Beefeater insists on Plymouth for a Pink Gin, for example. I know several former Sapphire devotees who have switched or at least branched out to other gins, like Beefeater, Plymouth, regular Bombay or Martin Miller's, not to mention smaller brands like Bluecoat or Greylock.

Magellan's is a personal fave for a walk on the wild side, when I can find it. I'll have to give the Beefeater a try (both the regular and the 24) next time I'm at Drink.
