Gin & Tonic (Gin Oxley)

The Gin & Tonic is a great classic of mixology, loved at all latitudes for its immediate pleasantness of drink, the freshness of the balsamic notes of juniper berries, combined with the sparkling elegance of tonic water. A perfect marriage. The proposed version uses as a base the London Dry Gin from the Oxley distillery, the result of an absolutely innovative production process that does not use heat. To preserve the freshness and aromatic fragrance of the botanicals intact, the extraction takes place cold, in a modern plant that works at a temperature of - 5 °C. The aromas and aromatic substances are frozen in their maximum expression and give the distillate a purity and intensity that are absolutely unique and inimitable. It is produced with artisanal care in small batches, guaranteeing an absolute level of quality. The Gin finds a perfect adventure companion in Fever-Tree's Premium Indian Tonic Water, which combines the bitter notes of quinine extract with the Mediterranean fragrances of bitter orange peels and aromatic herbs.

The Gin Oxley & Tonic is a particularly fine version of one of the most loved and widespread cocktails in the world. A protagonist of aperitifs, after dinner, and more generally of pleasant moments, it keeps its success in simplicity. Its birth is not the result of the research of expert bartenders, but of a banal military custom. During the colonial occupation of the Indies, to protect themselves from the dangers of malaria, the English soldiers had to take quinine. The bitter taste of the medicine was softened with water and a bit of Gin, which was never missing in the troops' rations. Unknowingly, the soldiers had created the first embryo of what would later become a cocktail. With the invention of tonic water by Johann Jakob Schweppe, the circle was closed. The new drink elegantly and more richly reproduced the primitive concoction, leading to its rapid spread and a success that still lasts today.

An extremely refined, fresh, and elegant cocktail, the Gin Oxley & Tonic offers the pleasure of a clear sip citrusy and balsamic. To prepare it, just take a large Ballon glass, add ice to taste, pour in the London Dry Gin Oxley, the “Indian Premium” Fever-Tree Tonic Water, and garnish with a twist of orange peel, a slice of lime, and a fragrant vanilla pod. It is perfect to enjoy, not only at aperitif time but also after dinner to accompany a pleasant evening with friends.
