International G&T Day celebrates one of the world’s most recognised drinks. The Gin and Tonic is enjoyed all over the globe and is one of the easiest drinks to make. Why not celebrate with gins from around the world?
India’s Jaisalmer Gin is described as the whole of India in one bottle, with seven of the eleven botanicals coming from the four corners of India. A smooth, classic gin from America, Ryan Reynolds’ Aviation Gin makes for a great base for gin cocktails.
For something closer to home why not try a classic English gin from The Cotswolds Distillery or look further north to Scotland’s Tulchan Gin, made with botanicals inspired by its Speyside surroundings? Alternatively, two island gins from the UK with coastal influences, Mermaid Gin from the Isle of Wight and 57˚ SKYE Earth and Sea Gin from the Isle of Skye, make for a delicious G&T.
