6 Cocktail Garnishes You Would've never thought To Try

At Brogans Way Gin, we enjoy taking chances with our craft gin cocktails and experimenting with a wide variety of garnishes to bring out the various flavours. The days of putting a thin, sad-shaped piece of lemon to your gin and tonic are long gone. Use this list of 6 unique and fascinating craft gin cocktail garnishes the next time you're considering what goes well with gin or how to give your favourite drink a brand-new spin.

 

Lavender

 

Lavender not only provides beauty but also a strong aroma that wonderfully brings out the flavours in artisan gin. It is the perfect garnish for a traditional gin and tonic and goes well with lemon.

 

Lemongrass

 

Why wouldn't a lemon-scented grass work just as well as any other citrus-flavoured gin garnish, such as lemon or lime? This is another exotic plant that could widen some eyes. Snap off a handful of the delicate core stalks and remove the stiff outer leaves.

 

Cinnamon

 

Gin and tonic is frequently considered to be a summertime beverage, but we disagree, and as for what goes well with gin, pour your typical craft gin and tonic into a glass, top with some orange slices, nutmeg powder, and a cinnamon stick for a gin and tonic that is bursting with holiday flavours.

 

Cherry Tomatoes

 

This is a real one, yes. The cherry tomato is a lovely addition to your gin and tonic since it is sweet and juicy. They complement gins with herb infusions beautifully. Compared to your typical toms, the heritage cherries are substantially sweeter.

 

Star Anise

 

We are sure that you have never tried star anise in a cocktail. It tastes something like liquorice, and some people even describe it as nearly minty. Whatever you might call it, we can assure you that it pairs excellently with gin. Add a handful to your gin and tonic as-is or combine with some apple slices and cinnamon for a drink that captures the essence of fall.

 

Rhubarb

 

At the Brogans Way Gin cocktail-making class, you'll learn that Rhubarb may be used as a garnish in the form of tiny sticks, or for a more attractive alternative, slice it into thin, delicate ribbons using a vegetable peeler. In a pink gin and rhubarb tonic, it will produce lovely scarlet curls of tart beauty.
