What cocktail uses gin and soda water, but no simple syrup?
Cocktail Colin says:
If you're looking for a gin cocktail that uses soda water and no simple syrup, the Gindian might be an excellent choice for you. This cocktail highlights the botanical notes of gin, balanced beautifully with the effervescence of soda water. The addition of a lime wedge provides a touch of citrus that enhances the overall flavor without adding any sweetness. The Gindian is served in a lowball glass, making it a straightforward and refreshing option that's perfect for a warm day or a casual gathering. With its simplicity and appealing taste, it's a drink that won’t overwhelm your palate.
Another option to consider is the Gin Rickey. This classic cocktail is a mix of lime juice, gin, and tonic water. While it traditionally calls for tonic water, you can easily substitute it with soda water to create a similar, crisp experience. The lime's zestiness and the gin's botanicals blend well to offer a refreshing drink without any added sweetness. Typically served in a highball glass, the Gin Rickey is light, tangy, and ideal for hot summer days.
Both of these cocktails are excellent choices if you prefer a gin drink that emphasizes the spirit’s natural flavors without the sweetness that comes from simple syrups.
