‘ginspiration’ It’s long been the trendiest spirit, but there’s a reason why gin is so popular
F
or years gin has been the spirit of choice and its popularity isn’t waning. With so much variety, you’re spoilt for choice when it comes to the perfect serve. Gin and tonic is THE classic and with numerous flavoured gins available, it can be easy to whip up a refreshing and flavoursome G&T. With the explosion in flavoured tonics too, they’re a great addition
to your mixer range. And while tonic is the natural partner to gin – some things just go together such as strawberries and cream – it can be easy to think why change something that works so well together. But it pays to literally mix things up from time to time. And with people wanting to go out and enjoy an out-of-home experience, be creative and your customers will thank you.
CITRUS BLAST Bitter lemon makes a zesty partner for gin with its slight tang. Don’t let the name ‘bitter’ stop you from trying it out as it isn’t bitter and really does work. Alternatively, add fresh lemon juice or mix up a gin and lime, either fresh or bottled – it’s a winner. 12 Eat » ISSUE 7 2021
