Your New Favourite Way to Enjoy Smith’s Gin

Your New Favourite Way to Enjoy Smith’s Gin

At Smith’s, we enjoy our gin in all kinds of ways – neat, on the rocks, the traditional gin and juice, a negroni or any number of fancy gin cocktails. But by far our favourite is the classic Gin & Tonic. The name itself can be slightly misleading as it’s never as simple as just ‘gin’ and ‘tonic’. It’s normally garnished with something delicious that is complementary of the gin’s flavour profile. So, we tried out a few flavour combinations (and a few more, and then a few more…) to bring you our three favourite ways to enjoy Smith’s Eden Valley Rock Gin!

Our number one tip when it comes to mixing gin is to use quality ingredients, including fresh herbs, berries and citrus and most importantly, quality tonic. Most supermarkets now stock a variety of tonics, or your local bottle shop will have a good selection as well, so you’ll have plenty to choose from!

Now all that’s left to do is get mixing! Whether you tried some of our recipe suggestions, or came up with your own, we’d love to see what you came up with!
