Incidentally it's pretty bloody delicious poured over ice cream/gelato and this quote is a great one for new year resolution musings...

On the 8th day of Chanukah (yesterday) my true love gave to me: 3 potato latkes, 2 slices of gravlax and 1 dirty g&t! Essentially a dirty martini but topped up with tonic for a longer, less boozy and more refreshing version of the classic; made with our Sub-urban gin and pickle brine which pairs so beautiful with the dilly cured salmon. 🍸

A simple G&T on a hot day really hits the spot!​​​​​​​​​If you're not sure what to garnish your chosen gin with, our tip is to select one of it's featured botanicals, so you're accentuating a flavour it already contains, rather than adding a whole new profile. Tonic wise, we're big fans of the dryer/less sweet styles to make that gin really sing. If that's not what you have on hand try a "Sonic" made with half sparkling water or soda to tonic! We're open till 5pm today for you to stock up on gin and tonic!​​​​​​​​​πŸ₯’πŸŽ
