I confess to having been turned off gin for a long time after
overexposure to martinis when I was about 16. I couldn't bear the
thought of gin for a number of years, but in my early 20s I had gin and
tonic in a tall glass with ice and a slice of lime on a hot summer day.
There is definitely a season for gin and tonic.

I usually drink my liquor straight, neat or on the rocks. Tonic water is
the the only thing I use as a mixer, and only with gin. However, I do
occasionally have a shot of gin on the rocks with a twist of lemon.
