FAQs

What is the best mixer for Beefeater Blood orange gin? ›

As you might imagine, we recommend mixing this gin with tonic waters that have herbaceous notes, like Fever-Tree Meditarean Tonic Water. For a garnish, rosemary or thyme or both work really well. Together, they make for a fantastic G&T! Other great mixers include ginger ale and classic tonic waters.

For many of these, the only variation is the inclusion of all or part of an egg. The Silver Fizz contains egg white, the Golden Fizz contains egg yolk, and the Royal Fizz contains both. In some circles, the Gin Fizz has become synonymous with the Silver Fizz and so is often served with egg white.

GIBSON'S BLOOD ORANGE is a tasty and well balanced gin that perfectly combines GIBSON'S finest botanicals made of juniper berries, coriander, angelica with the freshness and bitterness of sun-filled blood oranges. This distilled gin will bring an original touch to your co*cktails!

#1: 'Orange Blossom' Gin co*cktail with Orange Juice

Since the early 1900s an Orange Blossom has been a favourite at Sunday brunches. Start off by pre-chilling a Nick and Nora glass by adding ice (any small capacity glass or martini glass will do as well). Prepare garnish by peeling orange.

Perfectly pairs with Fever-Tree Mediterranean Tonic or Refreshingly Light Indian Tonic alongside a garnish of orange. Why not add one of our beautiful Copa Gin Glasses to your order? The perfect way to enjoy your G&T.

Crisp, bubbly and light on the boozy, hard seltzer can make a fantastic alternative mixer to tonic with your gin. And, if it's a flavoured hard seltzer then all the better. Whether it's lemon, cranberry or lime-flavoured hard seltzer, they can be a great way to mix up a quick and easy gin co*cktail.

Gin Fizzes are chilled by being shaken with ice and then strained into a glass without ice, whereas Tom Collins co*cktails are served over ice. Size. Gin Fizzes are traditionally an 8-ounce drink, while Tom Collins co*cktails are between 14 and 16 ounces.

Both were composed of a spirit, citrus, sugar and soda water, but a collins traditionally came over ice in a bigger glass and was meant to be nursed leisurely, whilst a fizz resided is a smaller vessel with no ice and was meant to be knocked back swiftly.

The fresh citrus flavours of blood orange tune perfectly with the classic notes of juniper and citrus of Beefeater Gin. The result is the bold, finely balanced, contemporary Beefeater Blood Orange Gin.

What gin turns purple with lemon? ›

It may sound simple, but magic occurs when making it as an Empress gin co*cktail. The lemon transitions the deep indigo, purple-like hue to a lighter pink. It's bubbly and beautiful, and you're sure to love it.

A Ramos gin fizz (also known as a "Ramos fizz" or "New Orleans fizz") contains gin, lemon juice, lime juice, egg white, sugar, cream, orange flower water, and soda water. It is served in a large non-tapered 12-to-14-US-fluid-ounce (350 to 410 ml) Collins glass.

You can't go wrong with a juniper-forward London dry gin, which works with nearly any juice you can source, from lemon and lime to orange and grapefruit. Softer gins can work great, too, but depending on their botanical makeup, they may pair better with sweeter OJ or more sour grapefruit.

Blood orange pair well with all types of less acidic fruit. These kinds of fruits attenuate blood orange's tartness, therefore: apricots, figs, strawberries, lime, lemon, mango, apples, melon and peaches. A marriage with pineapple mitigates the sour and slightly sulphurous notes of this orange.

GIN & TONIC

This is paired perfectly with Fever-Tree Mediterranean Tonic. Ingredients (Serves 1): 50ml of The Gin To My Tonic Orange & Passionfruit Gin. 1 bottle of Fever-Tree Mediterranean Tonic.

We love tonics with citrus flavours like lemon or grapefruit that let our botanicals sing. When we're feeling more adventurous, yuzu, pepper and even rose tonics pair well with Beefeater.

Taste: Intense and fresh orange flavour with lightly bitter orange oils and citrus acidity balancing a very subtle sweetness. Orange flavours overwhelm subdued gin.
