Gin is quickly becoming the spirit of choice for discerning drinkers (and bloggers alike). In fact gin sales have experienced a 6% growth year on year, showing that the gin revival is showing no signs of slowing down.
This festive season, if you are looking for a sophisticated, elegant gin, to set the tone for your Christmas celebrations then take a look at one of the world’s most awarded gins - Tanqueray London Dry Gin. Made with the finest botanicals including refreshing
juniper, peppery coriander, aromatic angelica and sweet liquorice, it has a uniquely smooth yet bold flavour. The botanicals are matured to intensify their aromas, providing a pure clarity of flavours. It comes in an iconic green bottle inspired by the shape of a traditional three-piece cocktail shaker, stamped with the Tanqueray seal.
The crisp, fresh and complex flavour, is perfect for sophisticated cocktails or vibrant, chilled G&T's. You can enjoy the full G&T experience and evoke the golden age of gin drinking by using an oversized Tanqueray Copa glass with its signature green stem and black base. The shape allows Tanqueray's aromas to circulate for full appreciation of the flavour. The gin and the glass both make a great Christmas gift idea for gin lovers.
Tanqueray London Dry Gin can be used to make a delicious Mulled Tanqueray Punch - a sophisticated alternative to mulled wine this Christmas. With its combination of citrus flavours and mulled spices, and garnished with some fabulously festive fruit, it is a drink that will impress guests this festive season.
