Product Information

Large balloon glasses are also excellent for garnishing with a variety of botanicals to further emphasize the flavors and aromas of the gin. There are plenty of opinions about what makes the gin and tonic perfect, but I think everyone will agree that you need to begin with a quality gin and a quality tonic water (or tonic syrup). Truth be told, you don’t need a garnish in a Gin and Tonic if the other two ingredients are good. If I don’t have a garnish in the cupboard, I regularly go without. However, a garnish is great for taking the same drink in different directions, e.g. enhancing the citrus or bringing out more herbaceous notes. In my opinion, a garnish has almost become a bit of a misconception and is seen as an essential component for a Gin and Tonic. And in the last few years, we’ve come a long way from the traditional “ice and slice”, with various herbs and fruits now recommended by many brands Also, using a syrup allows you to decide how strong or weak (and as a result, how bitter) your tonic tastes.

Although the soda aisle in the local grocery store has plenty of tonic water made by big soda companies, these tend to be overly sweet, have an artificial taste, or a combination of the two. There are so many tonic water brands on the market now, so how do you decide which one to use for the gin in your glass? There are no hard and fast rules (taste is subjective after all), and every gin has different botanicals which will pair better with certain tonics. The gin and tonic maybe simple, but it's also a great foundation for experimentation. With a few changes here and there, you can create an entirely new drink. Tip: I don’t know if there’s any truth to this, but rolling the citrus on the counter before cutting into it is supposed to yield more juice. Use plenty of quality ice Hand’s up if you love a refreshing, low-calorie drink in the summer months? Spirits are great, but they’re even better with company.

Everyone loves a classic G ‘n’ T!A splash of fruit juice, such as apple, cranberry, or orange, adds a hint of flavor and sweetness to this typically dry drink.

The final component to your perfect Gin and Tonic is the garnish. A simple lime wedge or lemon wheel will do, but consider adding herbs, fruit, or spices to accent your gin of choice. I choose an average-sized lime and squeeze half of its juice into my gin and tonics (roughly a half ounce), but you can use less if you prefer. Some like to just top their G&Ts with the juice from a lime wedge. There’s no right or wrong here, but different glass shapes will affect the drinking experience. A rounded, balloon glass will funnel the aromatics of the gin to your nose, which can make for a more flavorful drink. Citrus-forward gins often work well with herbs such as rosemary, thyme or basil – or you can dial up the core flavours more by adding a citrus garnish Are you heading to a summer BBQ party, or a food and drink themed party?
