The Gin & Tonic is the archetypal British cocktail, but gin is as adaptable to different recipes as any other spirit.
For your next cocktail party, offer guests a menu of gin cocktails. Here are some favorites from Beefeater Gin.
Beefeater, named after a slang term for the Yeomen Warders who guard the Tower of London (shown on Beefeater Gin’s bottle label), is the only international gin still distilled in London.
Its proprietary gin recipe, developed in the early 1860s, includes botanicals such as juniper, angelica roots and seeds, coriander seeds, licorice, almonds, orris root, Seville oranges, and lemon peel.
Each brand of gin has its own recipe and distinctive flavor. Beefeater has a floral palate with hints of citrus.
Learn how each botanical contributes to the blend at BeefeaterGin.com.
