Don't take this personally, but **** you.

I know a lot of people don't like gin, but at least some of those have only had the common gins that are very juniper forward. Juniper seems to be one of those love it or hate it flavors. I would recommend trying a few different ones to see if they might be more to your liking.
Hendrick's is heavy on cucumber and rose. Very light and refreshing and pretty far from your stereotypical gin flavor profile.
The Botanist is my favorite gin and I will actually have it on the rocks. It is made by Bruichladdich, an Islay distillery that makes some truly excellent single malts. They use only 22 botanicals found on Islay.
Bluecoat is made not far from me, in Philly. I'd say this has more of a citrus note than most gins.
Those would be my top 3 recommendations, but there are a lot of gins out there these days.
