Gin tasting Menu? Yes please!

Alright all you Gin drinking Londoners have I got a story for you. A friend of mine is a member of the London Gin Club and for our monthly covenant meeting (girls night out) we went to The Star at Night Bar in Soho to partake in a Gin tasting menu. 

We opted for tasting menu one which consisted of the following:

Edinburgh Gin: Blackberry
Sloanes: Grapefruit Peel
Plymouth: Lime
Hayman's Sloe: Raspberry


This will set you back £21 each or £19 as a member. I recommend tasting in this order: Lime first, then the Raspberry, then the Grapefruit and last but not least the Blackberry. This means you mix it up with the sour/bitter, then the sweet. You are presented with two huge balloon glasses with large shards of ice in it, and 4 small square plates with a small bottle of Gin and a piece of fruit to accompany it. 

Directions:

Pour the Gin over the ice first, then add the fruit, then top up with Indian Tonic (they supply Fever Tree Indian Tonic - arguably the worlds best) in which you can have as many of these as you need.

Best For: Take a date, Couples time, take your friends.

Bonus tip:

If you not keen on a full tasting experience, please please please, have a Sip Smith G & T, this is the smoothest Gin I have ever tasted. It is the first copper pot distillery to open in London in nearly 200 years, and the Gin is 
triple distilled. Top dog.
