Each Gin Gift consists of 50ml Miniature Gins and collectible recipe cards with tasting notes, garnish suggestions and perfect serves, and some gift sets also include the perfectly paired Mixers to compliment the gins. With all Gin Gifts from I Love Gin, we want the passion for our Gin and Tonics to really shine through – hence we have carefully curated some of the world’s finest and most interesting gins with a tasting brochure and Youtube videos to tell you more about the flavours. Pour the drink into a glass and top up with soda water, garnish with a slice of lime, sprig of mint, a few fresh pomegranate seeds and a few ice cubes.

Navy strength gins usually have a similar flavour profile to London dry gin. However, the flavours are much more pronounced by the higher alcohol level. The Palm Springs Spirit Co. makes their Modern Love Gin with nine botanicals, four of which are citrus. Most of the botanicals are locally grown in the Coachella Valley (yup, that Coachella)— save the juniper which is sourced from Tuscany. Tasting notes In an 1888 recipe featured in Harry Johnson’s New And Improved Bartenders’ Manual the Martini was a 1:1 ratio of Old Tom Gin to Sweet(!) Vermouth, and included bitters, simple syrup and a dash of orange liqueur. The amount of calories in 25ml of gin mixed with tonic can come to around 97 calories, however, the calories can vary from gin-to-gin. Gin has been known as a low-cal tipple of choice, its calorie count often being notably lower than other popular alcoholic beverages. A Gold-winner at the World Vodka Awards 2021, this marvellous tipple has an ultra-smooth, sumptuously soft mouthfeel and is brilliantly clean and crystal clear. With its delectably complex flavour profile, it’s a must-try for any vodka aficionado out there.

of Simple Sugar Syrup (2 parts water to 1 part sugar, combine in a saucepan on a low heat until sugar dissolves fully) Therefore, flavoured gins are not classed as traditional gins. However, the production process and alcohol content is similar in both – the one integral differentiator being that flavoured gin pushes the boundaries of the typical tastes found in gin, and offering up unique combinations and innovative new concoctions – such as apple gin! There’s something for everyone, from the gin lover who drinks gin whenever they can, to the other end of the scale to that person who says they ‘hate gin’, we’re pretty confident that if they try a few from this list we’ll have changed their mind on this superb spirit.

Muddle (crush) the mixture in the glass until it’s the fruit is mashed, then fill the glass with ice, add the 50ml of gin and top up with soda water. The palate of Eden Mill Love Gin is creamy, fruit-laden and slightly citrusy. As my buddy David T. Smith would say (“jammy” and “sherbet”-like*).A flavoured gin differs in definition from a traditional gin. This is due to the fact that with traditional gins, the predominant flavour has to be juniper, otherwise it’s not a traditional gin. We’ve also included an apple gin in a past member’s box from 2020 – The Cornish Elements Box, which came with both Elemental Cornish Gin’s classic dry and apple gin, alongside a light and elderflower tonic from Hartridges to mix with. Apple gin can commonly refer to a type of apple-flavoured gin. Distillers create this apple taste by infusing gin with the fruit. This infusion can also include other, additional complimentary flavours; for example, Elemental Cornish Apple Gin is infused with apples as well as a hint of elderflower, helping to balance the tart of the apple with the sweetness from the elderflower. For example, a pint of cider can amount to 216 calories, while a 175ml glass of wine can come to 159.

Crush the peppercorns in a mixing bowl/large glass, then add strawberries and muddle them (crush/mash), then add all the other ingredients (excluding the Prosecco) and give it another good mix/muddle. To make the drink, simply add the syrup, the infused gin and the grapefruit juice into a glass filled with ice, stir and enjoy.

About

Put the gin, lemon juice and apple juice into a shaker with some ice and give it a good shake to make sure it’s fully cooled the drink down Another one of our favourite apple gins at the moment, Elemental Cornish Apple Gin is infused with apples as well as elderflower. The gin pairs nicely with an elderflower tonic, or with apple juice – creating the perfect Gin Appletini. The gin is comprised of a delicate balance of russet apple, juniper and sage, all helping to deliver a crisp, not overly sweet, apple freshness. ILoveGin detail the gin’s perfect serve as follows:

Another thing to factor in when considering gin as a low-calories beverage option is to be aware of the mixers you include in this. Low calories tonics, as their name suggests, can substantially reduce the number of calories included in your G&T when compared to regular tonics – 100ml Fever Tree Indian Tonic Water coming to 35.61kcal, while 100ml of Fever Tree Refreshingly Light Indian Tonic Water comes to 15kcal. Read about how many calories are in a gin and tonic.

Gin and Tonics are often said to be the most refreshing drink to have, though often drank throughout the year we do enjoy them a little more when in the sun or in warmer climates. This take on a classic is the Melon Gin and Tonic, is relatively fast and easy to do, you just need to make sure you have a Honeydew melon at the ready. What does Modern Love Vodka taste like? Modern Love Vodka has a nose brimming with clean citrus, spice and herb tones, all atop a deliciously earthy grain base. On the palate, you can find a creamy texture and hints of vanilla, cocoa and lemon, which all last long into the aromatic finish, where hints of pear and mint can be found. Pour 25ml of gin into each glass, then two of the cucumber slices and a wedge of lemon into each glass
