How To Garnish Your Gin And Tonic. So would you like to know how to garnish your gin and tonic? Why not follow this gin and tonic garnish guide:
Firstly Floral Gins. Garnish with lavender or elderflower. Lavender and Elderflower are great garnishes to floral gins as they add a wonderful perfume and are a pretty addition to the glass.
The floral notes of chamomile and rose petals in gins such as BLOOM and Eden Mill Love Gin are complemented by the flower garnish.
Secondly, Citrus Gins. Garnish with pink grapefruit & rosemary. The lemon and herbaceous flavours of citrus gins like Bombay Sapphire and Monkey 47 pair perfectly with pink grapefruit and rosemary. The garnish adds a fresh vibrancy and accentuates the flavour of the gin.
Thirdly, Spiced Gins. Garnish with a cinnamon stick, peppercorns or chilli. The flavour of spiced gins such as Ophir and Pink Pepper Gin is emphasised by aromatic garnishes like a cinnamon stick, peppercorns and chilli. The additional spices emphasise the existing flavour of the botanicals.
Fourthly, Sloe Gins. Garnish with a slice of lemon. Sloe gins, such as Sipsmith and Boodles, are renowned for their sweet complexity and fruity notes. Serve simply with a slice of lemon, which will bring out the distinctive berry flavour further and add an additional zing.

I’ve not had Gin for years. Must try some now I’ve seen this.

Hope you get to try some of these ideas out.
I didn't think I liked Gin very much but recently learned it was the tonic I didn't like! It turns out if I pair Gin with lemonade or something else then I do like it, so I might try some of your recipes here, just with a little twist. :)Thanks for linking to #pocolo

Thanks for the comment Kim x
I'm not a big gin drinker really but my friend is and keeps pushing me to try it. I did pair some London Dry Gin I had with elderflower tonic and really liked it so maybe I should try the floral flavours to see if it changes my mind on gin #pocolo
