April 9th is National Gin & Tonic Day and there is no better way to celebrate than with a beautifully crafted Gin & Tonic in hand.
We asked the team at Brockmans Gin—a global leader in the new world gin category—how to elevate the Gin & Tonic to something sensual and daringly different.
Tell us about the Gin & Tonic.
While the Gin & Tonic has long been a staple in Europe, it has, until recently, been underappreciated in the United States. All too often here, the G&T was thought of as lowbrow cocktails, lacking craft, and unworthy of cocktail menus. All that has changed. With the influx of super-premium, new style gin brands like Brockmans and the surge in popularity of bottled premium tonics, the Gin & Tonic has soared in popularity in the US and claimed its proper place among the top classic cocktails
Talk to us about the Gin & Tonic made with Brockmans.
Brockmans is gin, only better! The Brockmans Perfect Serve Gin & Tonic showcases the gin’s “Properly Improper” recipe that perfectly pairs the more traditional notes of gin with a refreshing influence of citrus and the soft, rounded harmonies of blueberries and blackberries. When garnished with fresh blueberries and a pink grapefruit twist, the Brockmans Perfect Serve Gin & Tonic experience is next level.
What makes a good Gin & Tonic great?
The very best ingredients. Brockmans Gin and premium tonic—paired with aromatic garnishes that highlight the distinct character of the gin, served in elegant glassware to create a beautiful and enticing visual and taste experience.
What should bartenders know about creating the perfect Gin & Tonic?
To create the perfect Gin & Tonic, fill a chilled glass with large ice cubes—the larger the better so they don’t melt too quickly and water down your G&T. Add Brockmans gin and top with premium neutral tonic by pouring gently over a bar spoon to retain the fizz. Garnish with a twist of pink grapefruit peel and two blueberries. The sharp acidity of the grapefruit combines beautifully with the soft floral notes of the blueberries, one of the key botanicals in our luxuriously smooth gin.
