FAQ's
Can I substitute lime juice with another citrus in the Oxley Refuge Gin and Tonic?
Yes, you can substitute lime juice with lemon juice or even grapefruit juice if you prefer a slightly different citrus flavor. Each citrus will bring its own unique character to the cocktail.
Is there a specific way to integrate the cardamom pods into the Oxley Refuge Gin and Tonic?
For the best integration of cardamom pods' flavor, lightly crush them before adding to the shaker. This releases their aromatic oils, infusing the cocktail with a distinctive warm, spicy note without overpowering the other ingredients.
What is the ideal way to serve the Oxley Refuge Gin and Tonic to best enjoy its flavors?
Serve the Oxley Refuge Gin and Tonic in a chilled lowball glass to maintain its cold temperature. Consider adding a large ice cube instead of smaller ones to reduce dilution and preserve the strength and nuances of the flavors as you sip.
