4 Gin Tonics to Enjoy at Rossini
Gordon's
The origins of this drink date back to the colonial era when India was part of the British crown. It was invented by English soldiers mixing quinine (a component used to prevent mosquito bites) with gin.
Today, Gordon’s Gin Tonic is one of the best-selling gins in the world and can easily be found in most bars and restaurants in the city. Its citrus flavour, combined with juniper berries, will transport your palate to a blend of fruity tastes.
Bombay
Bombay Gin Tonic is a classic that, like Gordon’s, can easily be found worldwide. It’s a smooth drink with an enhanced citrus flavour.
During the 17th and 18th centuries, it was one of the beverages available in distilleries in London and New York, though its origin is not officially certified. There are rumours and stories about a bartender known as Tom Collins who created the patent.
Brockman’s
Brockman’s Gin Tonic was created by a group of friends led by Kevan Crosthwaite, gin enthusiasts who decided to start a company to explore creative ideas that broke away from conventional flavours.
If you’re looking for a different gin tonic that combines concentrated flavours of strawberries, berries, and lemon, Brockman’s could be an excellent choice. Its mild intensity and sweet taste will refresh your palate with the best aromatic blend.
Tanqueray
Tanqueray is the queen of gins, leading all rankings for seven of the past nine years, as described by the cocktail industry magazine Drinks International. Its flavour, combined with juniper, coriander seeds, liquorice, and angelica root, provides a strong taste that stands out from sugary tonics.
