What goes well with gin?
I love gin straight from the freezer, without ice. I’m not familiar with the bulldog brand, but it seems to me the Hendricks should be enjoyed with only the freshest ingredients or mixers… I actually always try to use fresh juice and garnishes when enjoying cocktails at home. You can use gin as a substitute in a few drinks that traditionally take vodka, such as a bloody Mary… another great one would be a salty dog… rim the glass with kosher salt and add equal parts gin and FRESH-squeezed grapefruit juice over ice. A gin Gibson would be good with the Hendrick’s…. in a martini glass, add 2oz Hendrick’s gin, a tiny dash of dry vermouth and a cocktail onion. Maiden’s Prayer ~ 1 oz gin 1 oz Cointreau juice of half an orange juice of half a lemon shake all ingredients together with ice, then strain into a martini glass. Tom Sour ~ 2 oz gin 3/4 oz lemon juice 1/2 tsp superfine sugar build ingredients over ice in a rocks glass, stir very well Cheers!
