Happy National Gin and Tonic Day! Today is National Gin and Tonic Day, and although I am happy to imbibe one any day of the year, I'm thrilled there's a day entirely dedicated to this classic cocktail. You may remember that last year I celebrated with a variation on the G&T that included a jasmine green tea simple syrup. Well this year my G already has the tea, so all it needs is T. Translation: today's gin is distilled with botanicals and tea, so no need to add any more. Gin, a little tonic water, a garnish, and you've got a tea lover's and gin lover's cocktail ready to serve. The gin is from Townshend's Distillery, located in Portland, Oregon. They started as a tea company and then transitioned into distilling as well. This is the first spirit I've tried from them, but I am excited to explore their other offerings! Naturally, they have more than one tea-centric liquor and I can't wait to experience them all. I urge you to go to their website and take a look- maybe something will strike your beverage fancy! What makes this particular gin selection so special is that it is distilled with jasmine silver tip green tea, chamomile flowers, and lavender buds. The tea gives this gin a slightly grassy quality that is balanced by the floral aromatics. Some of the other botanical gins I've tried lose their acidic backbone, which can make the sweet floral notes overwhelming and undermine the traditional gin flavour that I love. This gin manages to steer clear of that folly, retaining the juniper punch and bitter high notes of a more traditional style. If ever there was a sipping gin, I think this might be it. However, because this isn't World Gin Day (June 8th!), but rather Gin and Tonic Day, I'm drinking this gin with a light tonic and a simple garnish. Using a light tonic water instead of a full-sugar variety means you still get the effervescence and quinine kick, but without masking more delicate profiles. Garnish with a cucumber slice, lemon wedge, or lime squeeze and you have a simple, classic, yet utterly unique gin and tonic.
