Keep your spirits up this World Gin Day!

Keep your (juniper) spirits high and highball glasses full this World Gin Day with Cape Town Gin!
This juniper-based spirit has been around for centuries, shaking, stirring and mixing its way into people’s hearts (and glasses) all around the world - taking on the form of classic martinis, complex cocktails, and the simple G&T, there isn’t a tastebud that gin can’t capture!
It’s said that nothing brings people together quite like a common love, and seeing folks from around the globe raise their glasses in unison for World Gin Day says it all. It’s in this spirit that the Cape Town Gin & Spirits Company is keeping the celebrations simple by sharing a delicious G&T recipe using their herbaceous Cape Town Black Rhino Gin. With seductive hints of citrus, and pepper and liquorice notes, this gin pairs spectacularly with a simple tonic – but there’s a slight twist with the garnish! Add in an orange slice as well as few black peppercorns and this simple combination ties together those warm, aromatic flavours.
So, if you’re still looking for some gin-spiration, try this recipe out. You know what they say, when life gives you juniper berries, make a G&T!

- 60ml Cape Town Black Rhino Gin
