FAQ's

We've collated some quick fire Q&A's on the question to help you find exactly what you're looking for.

What are some popular mixers for gin?

Popular mixers for gin include tonic water, soda water, lemon or lime juice, and various syrups like elderflower or simple syrup. Each combination brings out different aspects of the gin's botanical flavors.

How should I garnish a gin cocktail?

Garnishes for gin cocktails often include citrus slices, fresh herbs like basil or mint, cucumber slices, and edible flowers. These garnishes complement the botanical elements of gin and enhance its flavor.

Should gin cocktails be shaken or stirred?

Whether a gin cocktail should be shaken or stirred depends on the ingredients. Cocktails with citrus or fruit juices are typically shaken to mix the flavors thoroughly, while those with mostly spirits and liqueurs are usually stirred to keep them clear and smooth.

What is the best type of glassware for serving gin cocktails?

The best glassware for serving gin cocktails varies depending on the drink. A gin and tonic is often served in a highball or balloon glass to allow room for ice and garnish. Martinis are served in a classic martini glass, and other gin cocktails might be served in rocks glasses or coupes.

Can gin be substituted with other spirits in cocktails?

While gin has a unique botanical flavor that might be difficult to replicate, some cocktails can be adapted with other spirits like vodka or tequila. However, the taste profile will change, potentially creating a new, enjoyable variation.
