It’s time to rethink the way we serve gin and tonic. Too often, this classic drink pairing is undermined by the use of subpar tonic. The truth is, a quality craft gin deserves more than just a standard tonic. It’s essential to understand that a tonic or mixer is not merely an add-on, but a key element that can either enhance or diminish the overall drink experience.
Choosing the right tonic or mixer for your gin can significantly influence the character of your drink. Just as a good chef knows how to pair ingredients to draw out the best flavours in a dish, so too should a gin connoisseur understand which tonic will best complement their choice of gin. The possibilities for flavour combinations are broad, and good pairings can lead to truly exceptional taste sensations. The reverse is also true and a poor pairing can leave a bad taste in the mouth.
Weekender Drinks’ new range of craft flavoured Gins are designed to work perfectly with local quality tonics and mixers. This makes exploring new mixers an enjoyable discovery. To make things even easier, Weekender also promotes ideal pairings to ensure your cocktail creation is exceptional.
