This Craft Gin and Tonic uses not traditional British gin but the herbaceous and flavorful Gin Mare from the Mediterranean region. Gin Mare doesn’t focus as heavily on juniper as other gins, and so has an earthier flavor influenced by Mediterranean botanicals like rosemary, thyme, and basil. You can even taste notes of lavender in Gin Mare. A gin and tonic might be a bar classic, but this cocktail is a more sophisticated version for a dinner party or solo sipping on a romantic summer night.
About Gin Mare
Gin Mare has several kinds of gin available, but for this particular craft cocktail, we recommend Gin Mare Capri, bringing to mind one of the world’s most beautiful Mediterranean islands. Gin Mare prides itself on seeing that the Mediterranean is not just a place, but a lifestyle and a feeling.
