12 Gin and Tonic Garnishes You Must Try

It’s a question I’m often asked at my gin tasting events. “What’s the best garnish for a gin and tonic?”
After reeling off my favourite garnishes for a good 5 minutes, I realised that I needed to put together a post on this, so here are 12 Gin and Tonic garnishes you must try. The gins I’ve suggested are just some options, there are no hard and fast rules. Simply look at the botanicals used in making a particular gin and choose a garnish that you think will complement or enhance those ingredients.
Easy!

  3. Nice article. The pink grapefruit in the first picture is actually red grapefruit though – slightly sweeter and more fragrant than pink.
