Mixology

The Indian colonies of the mid-19th century, in which gin was first used to disguise the flavour of curative tonic water, are as distant from the waves, sand and sunshine of Bondi Beach as it’s possible to get. And yet there are few backdrops more suited to enjoying this simple but elegantly enjoyable sipper, the gently bitter tonic water and dried fig garnish both bringing out bright botanicals in this very special gin.
