Celebrate International Gin and Tonic Day

 
Today, 19 October, is International Gin and Tonic Day which recognises one of the world's most famous drinks.

Gin and tonic, which was founded in India, is a drink popular the world over and especially in the UK.

So why not sample one of these variations of the simple cocktail brought to you by the makers of Slingsby's gin.

Classic Gin & Tonic:

Slingsby London Dry Gin served with normal tonic, garnished with pink grapefruit peel and blueberries

Slingsby London Dry tasting notes: An initial burst of refreshing citrus from the grapefruit base gives way to juniper before a very smooth herbaceous sweetness, led by sweet cicely and a light green tea scented with jasmine blossom.

Rhubarb Gin & Tonic:

Slingsby Yorkshire Rhubarb Gin served with elderflower tonic and garnished with raspberries

Slingsby Yorkshire Rhubarb Gin tasting notes: Initial sweetness of Rhubarb and raspberry followed by the bitter tang of the Pink grapefruit citrus base. A tart Rhubarb finish rounds off the drink leaving an unforgettable flavour on the palate.

Gooseberry Gin & Tonic:

Slingsby Yorkshire Gooseberry Gin served with Mediterranean tonic and garnished with green apple slices

Slingsby Yorkshire Gooseberry Gin tasting notes: An initial burst of refreshing citrus from the grapefruit base leads to an unmistakable tangy sharpness from fresh Yorkshire gooseberries, tempered with a sweet and fruity finish.
