The classic Gin & Tonic.

Classic Gin & Tonic

Is there any cocktail more refreshing than a gin and tonic on a hot summer day? If there is, we haven't tried it. Here's a classic recipe for gin and tonics. It couldn't be simpler to make!

Recommendations

There are an endless number of gins to try with your gin and tonic and, really, it's tough to go wrong with any of them. However, there are a few gins we really love and recommend:

  • The Local Option: Tommyrotter American Gin
    We'd recommend this even if it wasn't made here in WNY...it's fantastic
  • The Classic: Tanqueray London Dry Gin
    There's a reason so many people love Tanqueray
  • The Bargain: Grays Peak Gin
    We think it compares to gins at twice the price.
  • Go Hollywood: Aviation American Gin
    If it's good enough for Ryan Reynolds (owner, Aviator Gin), it's good enough for us.
  • Curb Appeal: Citadelle Gin
    The gin inside is just as beautiful as the blue bottle.

When it comes to the tonic water, we can't recommend Fever-Tree tonic waters enough. You can find them at our sister store, Premier Gourmet.

Citadelle Gin

NV / 1.75 L.

WE9494 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 8/1/2019
Brisk, clean, and citrusy enough to induce Martini-with-a-twist cravings. The aroma is mild, almost neutral. The palate opens with soft brushes of mint, juniper and citrus, growing more insistently citrusy, juniper-forward and drying with every sip.

With its clean, neutral profile, this graceful gin works well with just about anything, from Aviation cocktails (natch) to bone-dry Martinis. On the palate, look for bewitching hints of caraway, juniper, grapefruit and a dry, faintly spicy finish.

Inside the recognizable green bottle, look for bold juniper plus notes of anise, lemon peel, and a faint white-floral touch, laced with black pepper heat. Overall, a clean, classic profile that’s just the ticket for gin & tonics.
