Ingredients in the Cocktail

London Dry Gin

A classic gin style known for its crisp juniper backbone and citrus botanicals. It provides the structural base of the drink and pairs beautifully with fruity and herbal mixers.

Double Dutch Pomegranate & Basil Tonic

This premium tonic blends tart pomegranate with aromatic basil for a mixer that’s both refreshing and complex. The fruit adds depth while the basil enhances the botanical profile of the gin.

Basil Garnish

Fresh basil amplifies the herbal notes already present in the tonic. Gently slap the leaves before garnishing to release aromatic oils.

Pomegranate Seeds

These add visual vibrancy and a subtle burst of tart sweetness as they sit in the drink — enhancing both flavour and presentation.

Expert Tip

Use large, clear ice cubes to slow dilution and keep flavours crisp. For extra aroma, express a strip of lemon peel over the glass before adding the basil garnish.
