Liquor For Your Gin Tonic Gift Set

Gin has a long and rich history, having been created first as a medicine in the Netherlands back in the 17th century. Gin is derived from the French word ‘genievre’ or juniper, and this clear spirit thrives on the dominance of a complex combination of juniper, flowers, and fruit. 

Gin and tonic as a drink really took off in the 18th century when the British added tonic water to gin, believing that the quinine in tonic water would ward off malaria. These days, though, tonic water doesn’t contain a high amount of quinine. In fact, by law, tonic water must contain less than one-tenth of a gram of quinine per litre.

We believe knowing the background of your drink will  only elevate your drinking experience. At 180 Drinks, we like to make sure that your giftee also knows these tidbits. We add detailed gin tasting notes with your G&T kit. 

This makes your gift more thoughtful and one that the recipient will cherish.

G&T Gift: Herbs And Spices

Gin and Tonic is a drink that is refreshingly simple. You can keep it that way, but also add a different flavour or aroma with some herbs. 

A G&T with fresh basil, for instance. Or a sprig of rosemary or mint. A classic recipe is a simple blend of gin, lemon juice, tonic water, and mint.

At 180 Drinks, we add herbs and spices to your Gin and Tonic cocktail gift set. This is an option that many of our customers love as the recipients gets a carefully curated gift basket.

Sweeteners For The Gin And Tonic Lover

Tonic syrup is often used in the G&T mixed with soda water. And since the carbonation and tonic flavor come from separate ingredients, it’s possible to dial up (or dial back) the intensity of the syrup however you like. 

We include syrups where applicable to make your drink gift that extra bit sweeter. 

Garnishes For Gin and Tonic Lovers 

Most often, the Gin and Tonic is served with a slice of lime or lemon. But that doesn’t mean a gin and tonic lover has to restrict yourself to the classic citrus and G&T combo. At 180 Drinks, we often use a wide variety of garnishes to create a wholesome drink, including:

• Juniper berries
• Star anise
• Lavender
• Rosemary
• Thyme

Check out the garnishes included on the product description.

Glassware 

Gin and Tonic lends itself well to the classic high-ball glass. Something like that Tom Collins glass would be great for a G&T. But you can also check for other glasses such as a balloon glass. This is also known as the copa glass. 

For the G&T to be savored as it should be, we suggest glassware with a long stem and a large, rounded shape. What this does is that the narrowing at the top allows for all the aromas of the gin to seep through, allowing you to get all the notes of that lovely juniper and garnish. 

Check the product description for elegant cocktail glasses that match perfectly with your drink gift. We curate your Gin & Tonic set set for that right pour!
