Gin

A quintessentially British spirit with a rich history, gin has a complex character and distinctive taste that make it an essential component in any well-stocked bar alongside tequila, whiskey, port and rum. It’s made by distilling neutral-grain alcohol with juniper berries and other botanicals, giving it a fragrant botanical flavour. While you may be loyal to the faithful combination of gin and tonic, you could also try ginger beer, soda water or cranberry juice, or replace your classic gin with pink gin for a fruity taste. For an intriguing yet crowd-pleasing taste, Hendrick's is a must, while experimental palates will be delighted by Japanese gin, such as Roku gin – an exceptional blend of six different botanicals.
