Dan and Brad Japhe raise a glass to one of the world’s most enduring cocktails in this celebratory deep dive into National Gin & Tonic Day. From its roots as a medicinal mashup of quinine-laced tonic and British gin in colonial India to its modern status as a global go-to refresher, the G&T gets the full treatment—history, technique, and why it still hits like nothing else on a hot day.

Then it’s onto the good stuff: a spirited tour through some of the most compelling gins behind today’s best pours. Dan and Brad break down the botanical fireworks of Monkey 47, the refined elegance of Nolet’s, the cocktail workhorse reliability of Ford’s, the intriguing newcomer Strange Nature, the Japanese precision of Roku, and the timeless, juniper-forward backbone of Tanqueray, which is still setting the standard since 1830.

Whether you’re a die-hard gin nerd or just someone looking to upgrade your next G&T, this episode delivers equal parts education, opinion, and thirsty enthusiasm. Bottom line: better gin, better tonic, better life. Cheers.
