Must-Try G&T Garnishes for 2022

When it comes to gin experiences, for most novice gin-drinkers a good G&T is the best place to start. In 2022, the craft gin market continues to boom – which means there are so many new, exciting, even unusual ways to enjoy your evening gin. So, are you looking for a new way to mix up your G&T? Well, here are some tips from Brogans Way gin bar in Richmond on exciting new garnishes to try with your gin.

 


 

Let’s be honest, for most of the recent years the only question one had when it came to a G&T is whether to garnish with lemon or lime. However, as the craft gin market expands and brands are playing with a range of incredible, impactful botanicals that take your classic G&T to the next level. More so, people are switching up their gin experiences by experimenting with new and exciting garnishes.

 

These days, there is a myriad of adventurous options for the gin lover to garnish their favourite gin cocktail. Whether with herbs, spices, fruit and even vegetables – this is the year to experiment with some exciting new flavours.

 

So, grab a highball glass, a good tonic, you’re preferred craft gin and let’s get ready to garnish!

 

Loving Some Lavender

 

Lavender has long been a popular scent and flavour. Although it’s often a soap favourite pick, lavender can be an incredible aromatic to add to your cocktails.

 

Especially perfect when paired with floral-infused gins, lavender garnishes can add an exciting aroma and flavour to your cocktails while adding aesthetic appeal.

 

Get Real with Rosemary

 

Rosemary is the perfect companion if you’ve got a craft gin with some more savoury notes. This versatile herb has a lovely piney note that pairs really well with juniper.

 

If you’re really looking for a flavour infusion, gently crush your rosemary in your hands to release some essential oils before adding it to your glass.

 

Sharp & Spicy Cinnamon Sticks

 

Cinnamon sticks are so on-trend right now, but the sweet spice of cinnamon can actually add an exciting new note to your G&T.

 

Use your cinnamon stick to gently swill your G&T and enjoy the gently spiced notes.

 

Cheeky with Chilli

 

Turn up the heat with a touch of chilli. This garnish is a great choice to pair with a citrus-infused gin as it really highlights the botanicals while tickling your tastebuds.

 

Consider partnering your chilli with a fresh lime wedge for absolute enjoyment.

 

Taking Time for Tomato

 

Is anybody a lover of a bloody mary? Well, a good sliced tomato is no longer just for salads. Tomatoes make for a great garnish, especially when you pop in a few basil leaves.

 

Pair it with a fresh summer meal and you’ve got the perfect evening combo.
