THE LONDON NUMBER 1 GIN
Country of Origin: United Kingdom (Distilled in London, England, at the Thames Distillery).
Alcohol Volume (ABV): 47% (94 Proof).
Sugar Content: Virtually 0 g/L.
Pairing & Mixing Recommendations:
Due to its high alcohol content and robust botanical profile (including bergamot, cinnamon, and savory), this gin holds up exceptionally well in cocktails.
The Blue Martini: Stir 70ml of gin with 15ml of extra dry vermouth; garnish with a lemon twist to highlight the bergamot notes.
Classic Gin & Tonic: Pair with a high-quality tonic water and a slice of lemon or a sprig of fresh herbs.
The Blue Pegu: A variation of the Pegu Club using orange curacao, lime juice, and bitters.
Savoury Snacks: Herb crackers or spiced nuts complement the gin’s spice elements.
Cheese: Nutty, firmer cheeses like Aged Cheddar or Manchego balance the gin's citrus brightness.
Main Courses: Herb-roasted pork or seafood dishes cut through the spirit's richness while resonating with its botanical edge.
Desserts: High-cocoa dark chocolate works surprisingly well, as the gin's dry finish lifts the bittersweet cocoa flavors.
