G&T Surprise: A Twist on a Classic

Think you know your gin and tonic? Think again. The G&T Surprise is here to add a little mystery to your mixology. This isn’t your everyday G&T — it’s a refreshing reinvention that balances botanical complexity with an unexpected twist of fruit and spice. It’s the drink that keeps your guests guessing, and keeps you coming back for another sip.

What Makes It a Surprise?

It’s all about the unexpected flavour profile. While the base of the cocktail is still rooted in crisp gin and premium tonic, the secret lies in the garnish and added infusion — think muddled berries, a whisper of rosemary smoke, or even a few drops of chilli tincture. It’s the kind of cocktail where you take one sip and immediately say, “What’s in this?!” in the best way possible.

Perfect for Entertaining

The G&T Surprise is made for parties, dinner events, and sunny outdoor socials. It’s approachable enough for gin purists but exciting enough to intrigue adventurous drinkers. Set up a G&T Surprise bar at your next get-together with a range of garnishes and let your guests mix their own twist — it’s interactive, fun, and very Instagram-friendly.

Double Dutch Mixer Match

We love using Double Dutch Indian Tonic for its clean, subtle bitterness and balanced effervescence. Want something fruitier? Swap in the Pomegranate & Basil for a fragrant upgrade. That’s where the surprise really begins.

Top Tips for the Best Surprise

  • Don’t skip the garnish: It’s not just for looks — the aromas are key.
  • Play with glassware: Highballs, balloon glasses, even vintage coupes — each creates a different vibe.
  • Make it yours: Add herbs, fruits, edible flowers, or even bitters to tailor the profile to your taste.

Why We Love the G&T Surprise

The G&T Surprise captures everything we love about cocktails — creativity, character, and a sense of play. It’s proof that even a timeless favourite like gin and tonic still has room to evolve. Whether you’re sipping it solo or showing off your skills for friends, this is the drink that always delivers a little extra sparkle.

Take your gin game to the next level. Try the G&T Surprise and rediscover just how versatile a G&T can really be.
