It’s simple to prepare, yet layered in flavour. Dry gin provides a classic, juniper-forward base, while the Riviera Tonic adds notes of grapefruit, rosemary, and sea-salt minerality. The lemon-thyme garnish isn’t just for looks — it brings a zesty, herbaceous lift that turns a standard G&T into something transportive and memorable.

What is the Coastal G&T?

This isn’t your average gin and tonic. The Coastal G&T is inspired by laid-back beachside afternoons and seaside aperitifs. At its core is a quality dry gin, but what makes it sing is the Double Dutch Riviera Tonic — a vibrant, coastal-style mixer with citrus and herbaceous notes. Finished with lemon and thyme, this drink feels refreshing, modern, and perfectly balanced.

Expert Tip

Give the thyme sprig a gentle slap between your palms before garnishing — this releases its essential oils and enhances the botanical aromas in your G&T. For an extra chill, keep your tonic and glassware in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving.
