Research has revealed the exact formula to enjoy the perfect G&T ahead of tomorrow's World Gin Day (Saturday, June 11). The study shows it is all about the glass, the shape of the ice and never stirring more than twice to enjoy the UK's traditional tipple at its best.
Spirits company Quintessential Brands and food and drink scientist Natalie Alibrandi have also come up with the ultimate food pairings to go alongside some of their popular gin brands Greenall’s, BLOOM and OPIHR’S London Dry Gin to make the most of this classic drink.
The all-important glass : The ideal type is a Copa de Balon, bulbous in shape and sitting on a stem similar to a red wine glass, the design allows it to hold plenty of all-important ice while the tall stem keeps warm hands from melting the ice. The balloon shape allows botanical aromas and vapours to be contained within the glass, for a more aromatic drinking experience.
