Clear Alcoholic

Gin and Soda es un highball minimalista de dos ingredientes que combina ginebra con agua con gas y un toque de lima, servido sobre hielo en un vaso highball. La carbonatación neutra del agua con gas permite que la complejidad botánica de la ginebra tome el protagonismo sin el azúcar de la agua tónica, convirtiéndolo en una alternativa más baja en calorías y más seca al clásico Gin and Tonic. Es uno de los gin serves más simples y de sabor más limpio.

History & Origins

Gin and soda water has been a common serve since the 19th century when soda water became widely available and was used as a neutral mixer for spirits. The combination became particularly fashionable with health-conscious drinkers in the early 21st century as the zero-calorie effervescence of soda water was preferred over the sugar-containing tonic water. Its specific origin is unrecorded.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: pronounced gin botanicals — juniper, coriander, and citrus peel — with a clean, neutral carbonation note. Palate: dry and botanical with the gin's full herbal complexity unfiltered by sweetness, lifted by the lime's sharp acidity. Finish: clean, dry, and refreshing with a lingering gin botanical note.

Pro Tip

Use a premium craft gin with a complex botanical profile, as there is nothing to mask or sweeten the spirit — squeeze the lime wedge directly into the drink rather than just using it as garnish.
