can you drink gin neat?
Not only can you drink gin neat, but it’s actually the best way to truly experience the spirit’s complex flavour. Drinking gin straight allows you to taste every botanical and compare every note.
Take your time with every sip and notice the different layers of flavours. Each bottle has its own unique profile but you’ll likely discover a hit of juniper followed by light citrus, subtle spice and a floral after taste. With Beefeater London Dry, you’ll also find a distinctive clean flavour with hints of soft almond, coriander and bittersweet liquorice root. Whilst Beefeater 24 contains even more natural botanicals such as grapefruit peel and Chinese green tea.
The best way to drink gin neat is chilled or over ice to soften the alcoholic burn without diluting it with other ingredients. Pour a single 25ml shot of Dry Gin into a glass over a large ice cube. It will melt slowly to mellow the gin and allow the botanical flavours to shine.

If we had to choose, we’d say a Gin and Tonic is the way to go. This unbeatable classic is as good as it gets, mixing 50ml of London Dry Gin with 125ml of quality tonic water to create one of the most refreshing cocktails in existence.
