Taste the Gin On It's Own

• Gives you a real idea of what it tastes like
• How does it compare to your benchmark gin ?
• Does it have a delicate flavour ?

Taste the tonic on it's own

• You need to understand it's flavour too
• Start with 3
• Elderflower
• Mediterranean
• Elderflower

Now pair with the correct tonic

• Strong flavour
• A gin which which has a very strong flavour like Whitley Neill Rhubarb and Ginger needs to be paired carefully
• Elderflower would probably be the best in this case if you want to dampen the taste a bit or choose something like an blood orange tonic for example
• Delicate gin
• Martin Miller I would pair with Mediterranean or standard tonic. Elderflower too much to overpower

Final Thought

• The thing that I like about the gin community that I have met so far is that no one judges anyone for what they believe, what they look like or who they choose to be.
• The world would be a better place if everyone took that view.
• Grab your drink, toast those you love, enjoy your weekend and whether your decide to party or stay in I will be with you in spirit !!!
• Seriously though enjoy your weekend and I look forward to joining you for another episode next Friday.
