Later on those same shelves were also loaded with all sorts of tonic waters. Now that we have numberless possibilities of combining tonic waters and gins, we start adding a whole range of different ingredients into our cocktail. But, are we always doing it right?<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.invinic.com\/en\/landing\/the-gin-free-guide\/\"><strong><span style=\"color: #9e343a;\">Are you a Gin Lover?

Because we have seen so many times our Gin &amp; Tonic turned into a real salad. It seems that lately we can put as much as we want into our glass. However, this should not be the philosophy.<\/p>\n<p>A Gin &amp; Tonic should be first and foremost gin &#8211; with its alcohol and juniper aroma- mixed with tonic water \u2013 bubbly and bitter. If we don\u2019t have the basic in this cocktail the result can be anything but a Gin &amp; Tonic. With this we don\u2019t mean we shouldn\u2019t add any other ingredient but we should do it with common sense and great care.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the current gins are made with botanicals suitable to all kinds of innovations and highlighting some of its aromas. However, this doesn\u2019t mean we should taste a spirit with just one flavor. For instance, Hendrick\u2019s Gin with cucumber is a widely accepted combination. However, if we fill our Gin &amp; Tonic with cucumber it would make no difference drinking another low quality gin or Hendrick\u2019s since we would only taste the cucumber. We should subtly put the ingredients so that we intensify an aroma without masking the basic because we wish to taste a good Gin &amp; Tonic not a salad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is no doubt that the Gin &amp; Tonic is the trendiest cocktail.
