Gin has experienced a resurgence in popularity in recent years, with an increase in the number of gin distilleries and the variety of gin flavours on the market. Hosting a gin tasting party is an excellent way to sample a variety of gins and learn about the various flavours, aromas, and botanicals that distinguish each gin. We've compiled the ultimate list of helpful tips to help you throw the best gin tasting party ever.

1. Choose Your Gins Wisely

It is essential to select a variety of gins that represent the various styles and flavours of gin. Consider including a traditional London Dry Gin, such as London Square London Dry Gin. This gin is crisp, refreshing, and full of flavour, making it ideal for classic cocktails.

It's important to keep things interesting, so try a contemporary flavoured gin like Malfy Rosa Sicilian Pink Grapefruit Gin. Not only is this gin full of bright, refreshing flavour, but the bottle is equally stunning. This gin is distilled in Italy using only the finest botanicals, such as handpicked juniper, Italian lemons, and Sicilian pink grapefruit.

Finally, to diversify your gin options, select a gin made with extraordinary botanicals. The Truffle Gin certainly hits the jackpot, with its rich, earthy truffle flavour and complex botanical blend. This gin is made with real truffle extract, resulting in a spirit that is rich, flavourful, and one-of-a-kind.

2. Prepare Your Guests

It's always a good idea to give your guests some background information on gin and the various styles of gin that will be sampled. To fully appreciate the flavours, encourage your guests to taste each gin neat, without tonic or other mixers.

5. Serve Food

Gin and food pairing is an excellent way to enhance the flavours of both the gin and the food. Oloves Basil & Garlic Marinated Pitted Olives are an excellent choice of edible for guests to nibble on. These plump, crunchy, and flavourful olives pair perfectly with gin.

6. Include Tonic Water & Mixers

Tonic waters and mixers are required at any gin party. Encourage your guests to try each gin with tonic water and other mixers after they've tasted it neat. Summer House Drinks Misty Lemonade is a sure crowd pleaser for those who dislike the taste of tonic water. This classic lemonade is made with tart lemon juice and lightly sparkling Scottish water. Furthermore, it contains no artificial colouring or flavours, resulting in a completely natural product.

However, it is still beneficial to provide a variety of tonic waters, which is why our Fever-Tree line of products is suitable. Whether you want something refreshing like Elderflower Tonic Water, something fragrant like Aromatic Tonic Water, or the classic Premium Indian Tonic Water, we have the perfect pairing for your gin to make the best G&T.
Adding tonics and mixtures allows your guests to see how the gin truly works in a cocktail while also highlighting the gin's flavours.
