When it comes to gin drinks, the gin and tonic are classic cocktail . It’s such a popular drink that it even made its way into “The Great Gatsby” as Daisy Buchanan’s favorite drink. However, if you’re bored of this drink and have specific dietary restrictions that render it off-limits, there are other options for refreshing gin cocktails.
A substitute for tonic
The classic cocktail gin and tonic that never leaves the menu, but to make it, we need good quality products. Portofino Italian gin will be perfect for this, you can buy it from a spirits online store – Crimston. It fits perfectly with the classics and it will not be lost among the intense flavor of the tonic. It can also be an inspiration for the bartender to create an easy cocktail recipe. Its flavors perfectly match fresh fruit or herbs and spices such as ginger or rosemary, so maybe instead of regular tonic it is worth brewing ginger beer. We can also change tonic for Sprite or 7up if we don’t like it. The cocktail will become sweeter and additionally enhance the taste and aroma of citrus which are abundant in Portofino Italian gin.
Classic cocktail additives
An obvious addition to the classic gin and tonic is citrus slice, zest or cucumber. How about delicately ground red pepper that will spice up a slice of ginger and mint that will give freshness. Cucumber can be perfectly replaced with melon which will introduce a little more sweetness. Changing the additives can change the taste of the cocktail in an unobvious way and you can use this easy cocktail recipe in other cases as well.
