Gin Like a Pro: Straight, Chilled, or Mixed?
Pour 1.5 oz of your favorite gin into a glass and sip it neat to catch all those foresty, citrus, and herbal notes. This is the best way to get a real sense of the botanicals.
Try gin on the rocks next. Add 2-3 ice cubes, swirl, and notice how the cold brings out different flavors and softens the alcohol bite. You can even use whiskey stones if you don’t want to water it down.
Mix things up with a classic gin and tonic or a Gin Rickey. Just pair 1 part gin with 2 parts mixer (tonic, soda, or lemonade), toss in some ice, and add a citrus or herb garnish. This is where gin’s versatility really shines.
Want to get creative? Infuse your gin with fresh fruits, herbs, or even tea for a custom flavor. Let it sit, strain, and enjoy something totally unique.
Experiment with different styles—London Dry, Old Tom, Plymouth, or even a wild contemporary gin. There’s no wrong way to enjoy it!
