- A comprehensive look at matching styles with mixers to suit your taste and the best gins to use in Martini's and other cocktails.
With so many wonderful gins on the market today, it can be hard to know which gin is going to suit the occasion. So my good friend, Fever Tree ambassador, 2018 TimeOut Melbourne Bartender of the Year, former manager at the Gin Palace and all round gin expert Trish Brew joins me for another deep dive into the wonderful world of gin to shed some light and give you a few easy to remember tips.
This time we're looking at different uses of gin and Trish also takes us through four flavours of Fever Tree Tonic, Indian, Mediterranean, Aromatic and Elderflower, shows us how to pair them up with the right gin and gives us a run down on some great gin drinks as well as some nice cocktail variations to help you or someone you know look at gin in a whole new light!

8:40 the flirt game just got real
For real though, loved this series and it made me read the entire label of my bombay sapphire i've been loving to years to find out what's actually inside it
She’s a charmer! Haha so glad you enjoyed.
You're absolutely right about the Hendricks Gin and Elderflower Fever Tree. I didn't see the hype about Hendricks until I'd had it with the elderflower and a slice of cucumber. Totally different drink, even compared too my favourite London Dry gins in the elderflower tonic.
I’m a huge Gin person and highly enjoyed this series, thank you!!
We’re so glad!
I just discovered this channel today and I am enjoying the videos. I have been experimenting with different Gins and drinks during quarantine and have found my favorite Gin drink. It is a Martini made with Bombay Sapphire East Gin, Noily Pratt Dry Vermouth, and a lemon twist, 5 to 1 mix. The lemongrass and black pepper of the Sapphire East melds perfectly with the lemon, my 24 yo daughter who usually turns her nose up at gin thought it was a wonderful drink. Thank you for the very informative 3 videos on Gin.
Sounds delicious! Nice and light and approachable so I can see why your daughter enjoyed it 😊
I've been waiting for some good okay gin, you really got me. I love the video
Fabulous channel; fabulous fun knowledgeable women. Delicious cocktails. What more could you want?
Haven't got much experience with gins, but my absolute favorite spirit of all time is Beefeaters Crown Jewel. Got a bottle from my dad among other sprits he had collected over the years. It was absolutely delicious, emptied the whole bottle in a weekend.
Love this! I love how much you both respect and know about gin. I have no idea why, but it is just my spirit spirit :)
I've always enjoyed Gin. I started gathering spirits and ingredients when I got into making cocktials. I rediscovered my love of gin and now all I make are Rye and Gin cocktails lol. Very lovely episode
So glad you enjoyed!
i used to get a big tall vodka bottle from costco and that is all i woudl use for cocktails but i am rediscovering gin and rye and bourbon in ways i wouldnt have on my own with these videos from Cara! Thank you Cara for getting us diversified!
Just came across this channel. Glad I did! Epic gin line-up: Hernö, Santamanía, Plymouth, and a bottle of Never-Never in another episode. Garnish: keep it simple - it’s not a fruit cocktail!
Glad to see Plymouth Gin is there as it’s my home town gin
Your videos are just delightful!! My dad taught me to make him a gin & tonic when I was quite small. Quarter of a lime squeezed and dropped into the bottom of a tall glass, plenty of ice, shot of Tanqueray (always Tanqueray!), topped off with tonic water and gently stirred with a long spoon. He would drink one while he barbecued out on the back porch, and I was so proud to be the bartender!
Fever Tree Elderflower is so delicious... this video makes me want to sample the other tonic flavors as well!
Thanks Lynne, so glad you enjoyed and what a great memory!
Just stumbled across these few videos, really interesting, thanks for doing them!
No worries, thanks for watching!
Loved all 3, so informative, just realized that all spirits are loved by someone. Each spirit should be respected for their fans, the drinks they are apart of and especially their history. All things bar and booze. All things, I get it, pretty cool
Really enjoy having G&T using Fever Tree Mediterranean in the evenings especially during hot days
😋
Great presentation and informative discussion. I love gin and have been trying many different offerings. So you’ve really given this pursuit a great backstory. There is a local distiller that makes several gins where I live, Vancouver Island, Canada. Sheringhams, the distiller has captured and held my attention. For what it’s worth I recommend their products. You have a great channel, keep it up.
Thanks so much Les, so glad you’re enjoying it! I love Vancouver Island, I don’t think I tried that gin though so will have to be back at some point haha
I like to have a martini. Two at the very most. Three I’m under the table. Four I’m under my host. . One to remember. Thx!
I dont mean to be so offtopic but does someone know of a way to log back into an instagram account..?
I was stupid forgot the account password. I love any tips you can offer me.
@Scott Omari instablaster =)
@Salvatore Gus I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and im in the hacking process now.
I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Salvatore Gus It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thank you so much you saved my ass !
@Scott Omari you are welcome :)
So now I know Trish Cara. Informative fun just bought some Indian tonic . Loch Brewery in South Gippsland G&T Gin ice Indian tonic frosty cold . Refreshing. About to stock up on Cognac xo , Drambuie, and more Tonic. Thankyou for an excellent channel
So this is the one I have heard of, so many views. Everyone that has watched this one needs to watch the 1st 2. All 3 of these are Great!
I’m a scotch and bourbon drinker however,,,, Re: My Favorite Gin & Tonic - Kendrick’s w/ fresh lime, just enough tonic for my daily dose of quinine, as they say, “a splash” lol.
Bombay Sapphire or even Plymouth when the Kendrick’s runs out. All this in my best Scottish accent 😉. Respect! I can listen to you for hours.
One thing that wasn't included was the Fever Tree Cucumber tonic water - that has been my discovery as of late - in case I don't have a Hendricks bottle on hand, a good London Dry with that cucumber tonic, just delightful.
Right on, nicely done.
My fav gin these days is the 44. I still love monkey 47 though. I have them with fever tree
Nothing quite as refreshing as a Tanqueray & tonic with a twist on a hot summer day...at the Tiki Bar
That is as complicated as that drink needs to be
I always use Fever Tree! The best gins I've ever had are from Salt Lake City's Beehive Distilling. They have a standard and a barrel aged gin. I always try new gins and I have yet to find one that is as good.
Hendrick and Mediterranean fever tree is wonderful!!!!🤩
I wish I was 100 years younger - you two ladies can work behind my bar anytime and I can just sit and listen to you both all day long!
Wow.... you two are so amazing. This is so nice
I’m sure you’re pretty amazing yourself!
You guys rock!
We’re from Devon so our Friday G&T is Plymouth with Fever Tree Mediterranean. My absolute favourite cocktail is a Dry Martini, again with Plymouth, 5:1 with Noilly Prat & until now 2 olives. Didn’t realise till I watched your video that even numbers are bad, so looks like it’s 3 from now on!
😂 the more olives the better I say!
Brockman's gin has a really nice 'berry' flavour to it. Pop a couple of frozen blueberries in there with any decent tonic... very fine.
The 2 of you together are just to cute! I shall make it my summers mission to edumacate me self about ye old Gin!
Elderflower stuff sounds interesting. Thanks again - great work. :-)
Wow...........I so much love this video
Thank you! We love your love!!
Very nice video! I need to watch some more! you just got another sub my friend!
Two favorite gins for a G&T: Citadelle and Tanqueray Rangpur
My current martini of choice!
Bombay Sapphire
Wet (2:1)
Perfect
Dash of bitters
Stirred without specifying
Orange peel garnish
Bonus points for coupe glass
Sounds delicious!
This has really helped...Good Job
I’m so glad to hear it! Thank you 😊
I see fever tree is at Woolies, will have to give it a shot
There is an Irish "maritime gin" from Donegal called An Dúlamán that uses seaweed in its botanicals, so it actually tastes faintly like seaweed smells or sea air or a beach or something. I had to drink it neat to be sure. It is very odd but I like it. It might be good in a dirty martini perhaps with olive brine
Funnily enough I just bought a couple of bottles of this for the shop- a regular was raving about it. I’ll have to give it a try!
@@BehindtheBar Hope you like it - it's prob. not for everyone as I have heard some people say it tastes "fishy", but I think it's more like it tastes how a beach smells
Recently discovered the combination of Hendricks with the Fentimans rose lemonade, and I would recommend it to anyone!
I was drinking a few Tom Collins watching these gin videos lol. I actually really enjoy gin and tonics, that’s pretty much my go too. Fever tree makes very good tonic waters, I’ve also worked into tonic syrups, but I haven’t found one so far that makes me go like “I’ve found it! That’s the one!” Lol. Too be honest the closest I’ve come with tonic waters is the Schwepps tonic water, yellow label, but it has too be in those small fatty bottles. The “same” tonic water in the yellow cans doesn’t even come close for some reason. Yeah for me personally they blow all the others I’ve tried outve the water. So I used the same Tom Collins recipe but subbed Schwepps tonic in the small glass bottles for the soda water, and that makes a hell of a drink. It’s crazy how one can go from one really bad night with whatever no name gin over a decade ago which hexed gin as a spirit, too opening up a new world of flavors and becoming a favorite spirit lol
Interesting video, keep up the good work. I´m pretty impressed by the Nikka Coffey Gin, which is intense, fresh and spicy, best served with Fever Tree Mediterranean. Another nice one is the Drumshanbo Gunpowder Gin from Ireland with an Indian Tonic. But there are so many good Gins out there, it´s really hard to decide.
Totally, it’s hard to keep up! Big fan of the Nikka Coffey but haven’t had a chance to try the Irish one- I’ll keep an eye out 😊
"blue goes with blue and pink goes with pink" i think i graduated today! thank you ladies!
😂
Good old Tanqueray (Ten) and Fever Tree elderflower.
Turned the wife onto Gin and cranberry juice... she loves it
There is something out there for everyone
woah!!! really awesome video... like holy shit I learned a lot! thank you!
One of the best G&T's I've tried was actually with the gin from Australia. It's called Four pillars. I wonder if you've tried it and what is your opinion of it.
Absolutely, they’re from just outside of Melbourne. They’ve done a really good job positioning themselves, I now get asked for Four Pillars more often than Hendricks here! Personally I like more savoury gins and they just released an Olive Leaf Gin which is delicious, but they are all tasty 😋
Thank you both for a very informative series !
One question: here in Argentina it is somewhat difficult to find good gins without paying exhorbitant prices. The 3 most available ones are Beefeater, Bombay Sapphire and Tanqueray. Is Tanqueray better than the other two? Because I've only seen that one on the show. Thank you!!
Greetings from Argentina
Not at all! Honestly, my bar is contracted to Diageo in the rail and so that’s the one I always grab to illustrate London Dry style, but Beefeater is also a great example of that citrus and juniper forward flavour. Bombay Sapphire is a modern style gin, much lighter in flavour (less juniper) to make it appeal to non gin drinkers, so it works really well in light and delicate cocktails- you can make a delicious wet martini, or something like the white lady or east side would work well too 😊 some ideas for you:

@@BehindtheBar thank you very much for the information! I've already seen that video, absolutely fantastic keep it up!!
I like to mix Hendrick's Midsommer Solstice with Drillaud's elderflower liqueur
midsummer solstice is just amazeballs in a G&T. the above sounds like being buried in flower petals
have you ever tried St. Germain liqueur? I find a few drops really enhance the flavour of gin.
They’re a match made in heaven!
What garnish would you recommend with a Gin Mare and Mediterranean Tonic gin and tonic?
At Bomba we do a sprig of rosemary and an olive 😋
Behind the Bar Thanks. What kind of olive ? Spanish stuffed with pimento?
I’m not much of a gin drinker but I do enjoy a negroni. I’ve been using Gordon’s but I do want to try other brands. Particularly a gin that balances out the Campari. Any suggestions? Stick with London dry?
London Dry is definitely a safe bet because some of the modern gins’ botanicals can clash with the Campari and it can all be a bit much. That said, you can’t go wrong with something with a more orangey or grapefruit vibe - Beefeater 24 makes a great Negroni if you want to mix it up just a little, or Tanqueray Sevilla (Tanqueray has the same botanicals as Gordon’a and the Sevilla uses Seville oranges as well 😋). Otherwise if you let me know what country you’re in I might be able to suggest some more boutique ones!
Behind the Bar Thank you! I’m in Chicago and Binny’s carries the 24. More suggestions are welcome 🙏🏼
The Martinez is the gin cocktail for me.
Monkey 47 martini, with lime, orange, and lemon peel. Spash of orange liquor. A tropical martini
TBH, All I am seeing is the Emerald glow of the Tanqueray!!!
I like martinis very dry. Even refrigerated Vermouth goes bad in a month or so. Any suggestions as to how to have fresh Vermouth on hand?
Very true. I’ve actually done a whole video on this:
ruclips.net/video/zDa4TEKjE9I/видео.html
But unfortunately there is no magic trick. I suggest trying to find smaller bottles of vermouth if you can, otherwise you just have to accept you may not get through a bottle before it turns. I like to use slightly old vermouth in cooking instead of white wine for deglazing etc, and luckily you can find decent dry vermouths which are not too expensive. Either than or drink a heck of a lot of Martinis 😜
Have tried to use argon gas ?
I would love to see a version of this video that's in English.
50 pound was my first gin. Didn't mix it, but liked it. Is that boss enough?
Great!
Have you had Martin Miller’s Westbourne strength with tonic? Probably the elderflower or the Mediterranean.
I love the Westbourne!
@@BehindtheBar Cool, yeah, it’s maybe my favorite 🙂
ooooooo....my favorite garnish for a Gin and Tonic is a medium rare fat marbled ribeye steak.....so now you .... : )
More of a whisky person but this video makes me want to give gin a second chance.
On a side note... Cara getting flustered though 😂
Trish can fluster most people haha!
If I leave off the Campari in G&T with sweet vermouth, is it no longer an Italian Gin & Tonic?
I’m not too sure I know this drink in particular?
@@BehindtheBar The recipe I learned as an Italian Gin & Tonic is:
60 ml London Dry Gin
15 ml Sweet Vermouth
15 ml Campari
Orange Twist
Rosemary Swig garnish
I see there is no Bombay Sapphire there, GOOD call.
You literally make the easiest gin of all, the gin and tonic. Great job
I can't quite tell if this is sarcasm or not - we barely even make a gin and tonic! - but thanks for watching, thanks for the comment and I hope you learned a little more about gin & how to drink it, not just in a G&T - but perhaps you didn't make it to the talks about gin sours, old fashioneds and other stuff at the end!
Didn't think about the drinks with an egg. Breakfast drink ?
Where is Botanist 22 ?😊
and fevertree still taste like.. something you add everything to make it smell and taste way better... I would not give it my worse enemy
You don’t like Fever Tree?
A little cat growl going on...
Are either one of you married?
I’m not, your like gamer men who live in their mums basement? Proposition me!
The pretentious in this video is unmeasurable by modern science. Are the serious with all this nonsense about G&T? C’mon
