Gin isn't forgiving? I read the other day it is the most used base spirit for cocktails!
To your question: up your gin and soda with a bit of liquid sugar and lemon juice for a gin fizz or gimlet? Half lime, half gin shake or serve over ice. My favourite drink: a very dry gin martini with a twist.
More standard high end gins I'd recommend would be Monkey 47.
