Merry Christmas, happy new year and all that jazz. It's been an embarrassingly long time since I graced this space but if you have nothing interesting to say you should perhaps just keep quiet until you do. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.
I have quite a few delicious cocktails to share, a new local Alberta gin to review and even a no alcohol gin review (don't worry, it's not all dry January preachy, I promise). I will be sharing some recipes for homemade bitters to make those Old Fashioned sing a little brighter. There might even be some food. Of course there will be food!
To kick things off I decided to share my favourite tonic's right now. As much as a great G and T is all about that delicious gin the tonic makes up the majority of the drink so it's pretty darn important.
President's Choice Diet Tonic Water- This little can is a surprising little tonic. Perfectly sized, great fizz, light but delicious flavour and seriously cost effective for us gin drinkers at $2.88 for 6 cans. It's a very neutral tonic that goes well with most gins and I always have this is in my fridge.
I love seeing the expanded choice of tonics on the market now and I thoroughly enjoy exploring their flavour against different gins. If you are ever in need of guidance on what is the best tonic and garnish for you and your choice of gin check out the Ginventory
Let me know what your favourite's are?
