Mixers tested with this Gin

  • Fit: 2 out of 3

    Fruity and tart

    Goldberg Tonic Water

    I like this. A fruity note, not too bitter, a gentle rosemary twist, all tied together with gin. Nice over ice too.

  • Fit: 2 out of 3

    Grapefruit galore

    Doctor Polidori Dry Tonic Water

    Perhaps too intense over time, but the grapefruit comes through beautifully. Juniper and rosemary provide a good background note. A little edgier than with Goldberg Tonic Water.

  • Fit: 1 out of 3

    Bitter peel

    Fever-Tree Indian Tonic Water

    This combination makes the gin a little too bitter for me. The tonic tips into quite strong bitterness. Not undrinkable, but I don't find it ideal.

  • Fit: 1 out of 3

    Bitter again

    Fever-Tree Mediterranean Tonic Water

    This doesn't entirely win me over either, though it's better than with Fever-Tree Indian Tonic. The lemonade sweetness cushions a lot here. The rosemary aromas are lovely.

  • Fit: 0 out of 3

    Artificial

    Goldberg Mediterranean Tonic

    Unfortunately, this combination goes down the drain — pun intended. The mix develops a flavour that reminds me of artificial sweetener, and it doesn't win me over.

    A solid oddball

    Doctor Polidori Cucumber Tonic Water

    For a moment, you can forget that cucumber is involved, but it comes back. A decent mix.

    Turns towards rosemary

    Mistelhain Trend Tonic

    A decent option. It isn't my favourite, but the rosemary and juniper are clearly there.

  • Fit: 1 out of 3

    Mmm…

    Mistelhain Ambition Tonic

    I think the Trend Tonic does a better job here. The grapefruit comes through nicely. But the tonic is simply very dominant.

  • Fit: 1 out of 3

    Binary

    Goldberg Japanese Yuzu Tonic

    Zero or one? I'm not sure about the rating. Too harsh, reminiscent of mothballs and pretty fiercely bitter.

  • Fit: 2 out of 3

    Booomm!

    Goldberg Pink Grapefruit Soda

    Obviously, the grapefruit hits hard here. But it gets that lovely tart note that lets you recognise the gin. Looooots of ice, and summer can come — or stay.
